#2I've been watching this vid on repeat trying to fully comprehend what's happening.
This is another vid trying to explain the same thing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnURElCzGc0
I really want to believe this is possible and this is how we'll be able to travel far into space. Like how we have to spend time walking around a very long wall when a bird can just fly over it in a fraction of the time, we wouldn't have to think about traveling light-years because there would something else we can do that's faster than a straight line.

#3I remember being really excited about this game a few months ago. Part of me is a little concerned whether there is enough to gain some sort of intuition on where you are and what is exactly transforming with each input. I'm a little concerned it will just become a game where you try things and hope for the best and have a very incomplete mapping of whats really going on. But anyways, its neat to see such a well produced game attempt to take on these challenges.

#4As a game, this is really cool.
But when he got to the 4th dimension it didn't make much sense as an explanation (rubble from 3rd dimension showing up in the 4th).
However, if the 4th dimension was time, then you would walk back (or forward) in time to when the wall wasn't there (isn't there anymore cause it is now rubble), move "past the wall", and then walk forward/backward to the original time.

Some rubble fell to the side, along the 4th axis. This is a 4th spatial dimension, not time.

But the fourth dimension is timespace, is it not? At least that was what I gathered from Special and General Relativity and the relativity of simultaneity. X^t, Y^t, Z^t?

That's not very likely, because you don't have to walk around some kind of obstacle to get to a star. Even as a bird, you still have to travel the full distance to your destination.
You could make a shortcut in space, which is called a wormhole. You can either make one using extra dimensions, or in 3 dimensions with negative energy to stabilize it, but neither of those seem to exist. Edit: link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormhole#Traversable_wormholes

This game isn't real life! In the game there are four spatial dimensions, just because the game designer decided to have four.

You might find NASA's page on warp drives interesting.

#10I was really hoping for a continuous (rather than discrete) fourth dimension. The concept is cool and looks to be well executed, but it's not very different from other alternate reality implementations such as the Dark World in Legend of Zelda.
