Thread for games that use maths in fun and interesting ways. Think “spatial, visual explorations of mathematical concepts”. Could also be used for games about maths specifically if you want to I guess. I’m just going to post some trailers of every example I can think of but I’m know I’m forgetting some.
Games that do interesting things with geometry:
Spaceflux:
Maquette:
Miekagure:
4DToys:
Hyperbolica:
HyperRogue:
Portal:
Portal 2:
Marathon:
Antichamber:
Manifold Garden:
Games that do interesting things with other maths:
Marble Marcher (this probably belongs to the above group):
Quantum Conundrum (is this really a math game per the thread definition?):
Joke Answer:
"Mathematics resources (games and general purpose)
Leshy - this is really a single-level shrink/grow game with fine-grained physics but the level is really cleverly designed – there’s a bit at :48s in the trailer that really plays with it
the level design in Superliminal is by the same guy that did most of the levels in Perspective, and he did the puzzle game based on screenwrap, Four Sided Fantasy:
I’ve updated the op to include more links and videos (Including some non-game maths stuff too). Remember there’s more maths than just geometry! Should we include things like logic or would that broaden the topic too much? At some point all games are just maths, right?
