HyperRogue Gold
A tactical puzzle/roguelike on a hyperbolic plane.
You are a lone adventurer in a strange, non-Euclidean world. Gather as much treasure as you can before the nasty monsters get you. Explore several different worlds, each with its own unique treasures, enemies, and terrain obstacles. Your quest is to find the legendary treasure, the Orbs of Yendor. Collect one of them to win! Or just ignore your quest and collect smaller treasures.The twist is the unique, unusual geometry of the world: it is one of just few games which takes place on the hyperbolic plane. Witness a grid composed of hexagons and heptagons, straight lines which seem to be parallel, but then they diverge and never cross, triangles whose angles add up to less than 180 degrees, how extremely unlikely is it to reach the same place twice, and how the world seems to be rotated when you do return. All this matters for the gameplay.Play HyperRogue Gold to support the development of HyperRogue (it also has online achievements and leaderboards via Google Games Services, although leaderboards do not work correctly at the moment). HyperRogue Gold is also updated more frequently. If you want a small app, download HyperRogue Lite without music. Also play the desktop version of HyperRogue!12.0b:Bugfixes12.0a:- the bug with android crashes should be fixed- fixed a bug which caused the dice numbers not to be drawn sometimes- Orb of Earth no longer marked useless in Cursed Canyon (also it works in a more interesting way there)- Canyon Hags attack now has a sound effect and an animation- fixed spurious messages about slashing the Shadow with the energy sword12.0:* Two new lands: Dice Reserve and Cursed Canyon* Many new features and improvements

Amazing game. But as a mobile game, it needs progress saving. One can't be expected to play hours on end, but hop in and out.
A really creative game which uses in many creative way a non-euclidian geometry.
I play this game as an on again off again pleasure, but it's always fun to come back to. I suck at it, but it's still fun.
If I can tab out to answer a text and tab back in without pausing before I'll give you 5 stars. But the game is completely solid. If you've picked up a fantasy or sci fi book in the last 50 years you'll enjoy this game. Turn-based chess like gameplay
what a great game! the basic mechanics are super simple on the surface but all of the different worlds bring enough variation to bring some deep gameplay
Awesome, in theory, but, not really playable. It never saves -- most of the time you switch apps or put your phone to sleep, progress is lost. Not sure if it's crashing or what.
You really need to fix it for certain devices please, it won't open on my android.
Really cool idea - but please make the app better...
Not really suited for mobile devices. I'm really fascinated by the geometry exhibited by the game, but I only had the game installed for ten minutes, and I spent nine minutes trying to switch off the music.
Edit: the developers response addresses my problems. I've been playing this for years and lowered my rating because it seems like the UI is getting worse. I dislike the large white title bar on the screen, it obviously wastes a lot lf space. I also dislike clicking INFO means you cannot click MOVE because the new control circle is in the way. The only way to return to MOVE is to enter the MENU or rotate my screen. My rating will return to a 5 when these issues are addressed.
