Hyperbolic Rogue is an experimental mini-roguelike set on a hyperbolic
plane, where the map is composed of hexagons and heptagons. You need to
gather as many gold as possible before you are surrounded by yetis and
ice wolves; the more gold you find, the more monsters come to hunt you.
Another interesting feature of Hyperbolic Rogue is heat. Your body
generates heat, which attracts wolves and melts down ice walls.

Hyperbolic Rogue features:

* a new structure of the map (most roguelikes allow 8-directional
  movement, like Rogue, recently there are many new roguelikes which
  explore changing this geometrical structure: some games use four
  directional movement, and there are also some based on a hex grid;
  Hyperbolic Rogue tries something different)

* a perspective with objects drawn smaller and smaller as the distance
  from the PC increases when the PC moves, the perspective rotates to
  catch them
