    I figured I would link the video, since Mashpoe links to the Steam store page in his description, and the video is fascinating.

    Mashpoe on YouTube created this 4d Minecraft-style game, and offers an explanation of how one is able to observe the 4-dimensional space using an example of a 2d frog observing a 3d space. Basically, you use the mousewheel to reorient yourself on the 4th dimensional axis and observe that upper-dimensional slice.

    He has a demo on Steam that is worth checking out. I played for a few minutes and it's actually pretty robust, and very mindbending.

    Reminds me a bit of Adanaxis an old freeware game about dogfighting spacecraft in four dimensions.

    I just spent a couple of hours playing this game. It's surprisingly immersive considering how simple the graphics are. I was super lost until I started using some of the alignment hot keys to get back to familiar coordinate orientations. I'm excited to see how this one evolves.
