A minor, but still quite large, update to HyperRogue!
Suggest moves after 3 incorrect attempts, grow Ivy through narrow chasms, use compasses, rulers and non-Euclidean tools in the built-in drawing tool, more intuitive touch dragging, bugfixes and more!

This game is indirectly based on #Borges' "The Library of Babel", and it's cleanly done. I appreciate that it can be played with the keyboard.
I played for 3 days wanting something to happen, then I stopped sleeping - it gets dark. Morale dropped soon, and then I jumped. There is a ground. You need to climb a bunch of floors so that it kills you. I started holding down keys but didn't bother killing myself many times. Finally, I rerolled characters for a short walk.
Would've been pretty cool if it were sorted like #Hyperrogue's turtle challenge, but that would defeat the point. Excellent adaptation.
HyperRogue is now verified for SteamDeck! โ
A perfect game/platform match: mostly only movement so no need for complex buttons, joystick is good for its non-Euclidean movement directions, bigger screen and more powerful hardware are a better fit for the infinite world than phones.
I'm a sucker for non-euclidian visualizations. Gave myself a headache the day hyperbolica released but it was worth it. From the dev of #HyperRogue
HyperRogue, the non-Euclidean roguelike, is a mind-melting masterpiece
