This is the best visualization of 4 dimensions I have ever seen.

What tools were used to build this I wonder?

Can't wait to see the 5D version. But seriously, what's the use of that? I don't get it.

There's also Miegakure, another beautiful game based on 4D puzzles.

I've been waiting for that game for more than 5 years now I think.. It'll probably stay in development for another 2 years or so.

It's meant to give an intuition about what a 4th space dimension might feel like, thru self experimentation.

Part of it is that the developer's spent the last decade building a game engine and toolchain for 4D content while developing his 4D puzzle game Miegakure (http://miegakure.com/)

It's getting really close, though. Puzzles, mechanics, dialogue, effects, all finished. At this point, according to the dev, all that's really left for him to do is "small things like fix collision bugs, and I will keep placing props in levels and program the occasional cool 4D thing. We still need a bunch of 3D modelling done."

I'd give a 50% shot it lands on Steam before the end of 2019. (35% it doesn't make 2019 but lands before the end of 2020, remainder that it lands later or never releases.)

"Goundbreaking 4D+Time Physics Engine that uses new mathematics created for this project."

New mathematics no less!
