HyperRogue

A roguelike on the hyperbolic plane: collect treasure in a world that never comes back around.

▶ Play HyperRogue free, in your browser, nothing to install

HyperRogue is Zeno Rogue's roguelike played on the hyperbolic plane, a world of heptagons and hexagons where space grows exponentially: walk away and you will hardly ever find your way back. Collect treasure in dozens of lands, each with its own monsters, terrain and orbs, and look for the Orbs of Yendor.

Every move is a turn. You kill a monster by moving into it, and the game will not let you step where a monster would kill you; treasure attracts more monsters of its land, magical orbs give you powers.

This is a port of HyperRogue 13.1o, translated line by line from its C++ source and checked against the original: the rules, lands, monsters and orbs, and the drawing of the map, creatures, menus and settings in the standard hyperbolic geometry. The original's eight translations (Polish, Turkish, Czech, Russian, German, Brazilian Portuguese, French, Chinese) are there with their grammar and fonts, and its music and sound effects play. Two to seven players can explore together, at one keyboard as in the original, or online, each in their own browser: everyone chooses a move, then all move at once.
