Miegakure

Miegakure is a platform game where you explore the fourth dimension to solve puzzles.

There is no trick; the game is entirely designed and programmed in 4D. Because humans can only see and move along three spatial dimensions, pressing a button allows to "swap" one regular dimension with the fourth, invisible dimension. The protagonist can use this ability to see inside closed objects, walk through walls, move objects from one dimension to another, hide under 3D shadows of 4D objects, and more.

xkcd indirectly brought me here.

MY BRAIN HURTS!!!

Then maybe you should take out some time and read the context in which I am responding. let me reformulate it in another way, so that you might catch my drift. "yes, some consider time the fourth dimension, but in this case, it is not"

4th Dimension is not type. Take some time and think about it. Don't just read something and regurgitate it. A 2D man would perceive the 3rd dimension as time, since it's a nice escape goat ... Logically question and doubt everything first, then feel free to regurgitate w/ out thinking ...

The dimension exists, it's just that we, being three dimensional beings, are physically and visually unable to perceive the fourth dimension, just like how we can't see any colors other than red, green, and blue based colors because we don't possess the ability. If that makes any sense at all

yes, in reality the fourth dimension is time. this game simulates an alternative, non-real dimension of depth. it's not time.

Don't get me wrong, I really hope this is an amazing game ( I mean, how much more unique can you get than a 4D game?) but supposedly the 4th dimension is time, and that would mean you are moving back and forth in time based on the blocks you stand on, and affect the moved items across all 4 3d views based on how you can move it in one of them. I don't see how it can be anything but fabricated levels in this way, but I'd be glad to be wrong. I'd like a game like this, with some mathematical logic

[Jesse Collie]

it kinda looks like its just that you are jumping to a different level based on the type of block you are standing on, not that you are moving across a 4th spatial (or temporal) plane. theoretically it's supposed to be that you are looking at 3 planes at a time, and that those planes are mathematically calculable, but all i'm seeing is the character moving an object that is constant across all 3(?) viewable cross-sections, which don't appear to actually real origin.
