The author of HyperRogue here. Thanks to stared for sharing, and everyone for playing!

Thanks for creating the game! I was supposed not to buy any more games this week, but this one clearly deserved an exception. Just two more hours of work, and then I'm gonna play the living hell out of it!
I played this 3-4 years ago and had a blast... I remember the distinct worlds very fondly. Very happy to see it on the front page today!
Thanks! I guess there were 11 lands back then, and there are 22 now. And the new ones show many new things in the hyperbolic plane, like wars between huge armies (the Hive), large circles (Camelot, where you have to find the center of a circle of radius 28, and this is challenging), and horocycles (infinite circles -- the Temple of Cthulhu and the Caribbean).
hyperbolic-ier stuff is exactly what I felt was missing, I might have revisit. I also enjoyed the hydra game a lot.
Any chance of a gog release?

I will think about it :) I am a bit unhappy with gog after buying Spelunky there and seeing that some features (such as the daily challenge) are available only in the Steam version, but I guess this can be done better.
