What if you received a box filled with mysterious toys from a fourth spatial dimension?
• Playfully explore and marvel at beautiful shapes powered by a groundbreaking 4D+time physics system.
• Poke, throw, roll and watch as they disappear into a dimension you can't see.
• Get an intuitive feel for how four-dimensional objects behave:
• Become a child of the fourth dimension.
In this case the 4D is not time but a 4th dimension of space that works just like the first three dimensions we are familiar with. If you count time these toys are 5D. It turns out that the rules of how objects bounce, slide and roll around can be generalized to higher dimensions, and this unique toy lets you experience what that would look like.
Features:
• Over 130 beautiful interactive scenes to play with, with more to be added in updates.
• Groundbreaking 4D+Time Physics Engine that uses new mathematics created for this project.
• Multi-touch & Accelerometer support for rich interactivity.
• 2D/3D "Flatland" Interactive 10 Page Book/Explanation that teaches by analogy about a fourth spatial dimension.
Some things to do:
• Manage to fit the hypercube into the hyperhole!
• Use the 4D shapes as fancy, perfectly symmetric, fair dice that have 5, 8, 16, 24, or even 120 and 600 sides!
• Unbind Rings using the fourth dimension!
• Make a stack of 4D hypercubes and smash it!
• Set up an interesting path for a few 4D dominoes!
• Make levers that throw hypercubes into the fourth dimension!
• Use multitouch to "squeeze" out objects into the fourth dimension!
• Play in a 4D ball pit!
• See Tesseracts (i.e. 4D hypercubes) slide down slopes!
• etc...!

Gravity can be annoying sometimes

Can you add a mode where it doesn’t have gravity and you can just rotate the shape regularly, and if possible, a building game with Tesseracts, kinda like 4D Minecraft in a 5x5x5x5 Grid, just wondering lol
Some things!

This game is great, and I wish there were more like it! Here’s some things that I’ve wanted as additions or changes: The Great Icosahedral 120Cell seems to be missing some faces/cells The Star Polychora having more individualized descriptions Cubinders and Spherinders, even if only in one scene (together with a duocylinder of course) Expanded 2D/3D cross-section section -I did a little coding myself and discovered that anything more complicated than an icosahedron looks lame -Platonic Solids, star polyhedron/a, and cylinder? 4D rotation: XW, YW, ZW -A W-rotation button, so any X, Y, or Z movement is actually an XW, YW, or ZW rotation? A way for a YZ rotation I don’t really like the wavy texture on some shapes There isn’t a simple way to align shapes for a vertex/edge/face/cell first projection, although that might disrupt the toy box aesthetic -4D rotation might solve this
4D toys are awesome!

4D toys are very fun to throw around and have very awesome details!
The best

One of the best conceptual games (if I can call it that. This is real theoretical mathematics here) on the iPhone right now. Something fun for the kids. But I play it more trying to understand and conceptualize and defragmenter and reconfigure years of institutional learning. It’s a quite whisper from a person telling the truth ima room full of loud, ignoramuses. I can’t wait for meigekure. Just form the concept it’s like u have to make a million games in 1. A million landscapes and 3D space synchronization that I can’t conceive of right now. Phenomenal.
Great!!.... AR?

This is a great app it’s lots of fun and a great way to visualize and get hands on with higher detentions! One suggestion to the developer: this app would be perfect for AR! I really hope y’all are working on integrating augmented reality in with with the other awesome features here. This is a great app decently worth it!
Shapes you should add
bdjbvfbv
You should add a long Tesseract, a spherinder, a 4D cone, a 4D maze game with full control of 4D rotation, and five HyperCubes should have dice functionality! But amazing game ether way!

This app is so intellectually cool that I have an emotional response when I’m playing it.
Best Game Ever but VR would be awsome

This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen! There is so much to do in this! One suggestion though, which would be so cool is if there were a VR version. Maybe you could have a whole different app where you can buy little shapes that could sense movents so you could feel the shape and you could connect them through the app and then use it once you had it. Now that would be the coolest thing I would ever see!
