4D Golf is an indie minigolf game created by CodeParade and released in 2024. It continues the theme of alien-geometry gameplay from their previous game, Hyperbolica, this time using More than Three Dimensions.

Sorting Algorithm of Threatening Geography: Several of the worlds are stock Video Game Settings in the standard order, such as a Green Hill Zone, Shifting Sand Land, Slippy-Slidey Ice World, and Lethal Lava Land, before moving onto the abstract.

comment
Bizarre and Improbable Golf Game: Downplayed to avoid being too overwhelming, but there is an absurdity in the golf ball literally getting bounced into the fourth dimension, and some of the holes are in improbable settings like an art museum or outer space.

 4D Golf (Video Game) / int_62c556bf
comment
X-Ray Vision: Cosmodeus is able to see inside the Player Character in the same way that a three-dimensional being could see the innards of a two-dimensional organism, commenting on the "organ sacks rattling around in there" before apologizing for the intrusion. The player also has a sort of x-ray vision through the wireframe view.

Another Dimension: Literally. The game is set in a multiverse of worlds with different numbers of spatial and temporal dimensions, and involves the Player Character going to one for training. Cosmodeus mentions other such worlds, one of which has two time dimensions.

Level Editor: The editor used to design the courses was deemed so intuitive that one was included with the game. The developer credits RollerCoaster Tycoon as inspiration, as it uses a similar method of extending the course by picking connective track pieces.

Depth Perplexion
 4D Golf (Video Game) / int_87edd4da
comment
Depth Perplexion: Both of the main views necessarily include this. In the main view, the ghost images of objects may make them appear closer than they are, when really this indicates that they are off to the side along the unshown axis. Volume View makes height the unshown dimension, rendering elevation impossible to measure, and showing slopes and drops as walls or empty space that should be thought of more as contour lines. Both views must often be used to understand the full shape of the course.

comment
Go Mad from the Revelation: There is an active effort to avoid this, as the goal of the game—both out-of-universe and through the In-Universe Multidimensional Exchange Program—is to ease the player into hyperdimensional space. The trope is implied once:

Interface Spoiler: There is an option to color-code the ghost projections. When they turn a new color in the already otherwise grayscale "Beyond?" hole, it might help give away that a new dimension has been added.

Alien Geometries: Due to existing in four-dimensional space, the world naturally seems to warp as the camera rotates or moves ana and kata, and "flat" terrain has three-dimensional volume. Later worlds augment this with Gravity Screw and a fifth spatial dimension.

Neologism: The game uses "anth/kenth" for the cardinal directions (equivalent to "north/south", "east/west", and "up/down"), and introduces "sursum/deorsum" for the fifth-dimensional directions, derived similarly to "ana/kata" but from Latin rather than Greek.
