What players say

It isn't really as interactive as I wanted it to be. It is more like throwing shapes in directions to hope it spins in a way you want. No actual dedicated tool to rotate.

This game is fairly good, and definitely intriguing and one of a kind. I've been interested in 4D space and shapes for a while, and have a fairly decent understanding of it. It was great to see that I could now directly interact with concepts I had learned about and understood, and being able to interact directly with them allowed me to build on the intuitions i already had about 4D space and understand it more...

This was a really unique Experience. I didn't have a chance to play the game in VR, but I imagine it being a lot more immersive. The Controls are good. It is hard to predict a 3D shape movement when interacting with it in 2nd dimension, let alone 4D shape movement in 3rd dimension.
