addedHyperRogue has been updated with two new lands, Camelot and Temple of Cthulhu ! Both are based on circular shapes, contrary to the previous lands, which were bounded by straight lines. Camelot can be found in the Crossroads after finding five Emeralds, and it is a puzzle land where you have to find the center of a circle, while Temple of Cthulhu can be found in R'Lyeh after finding five statues of Cthulhu, and is actually an infinite sequence of infinite circles (horocycles). See the dev blog for the details. This means that HyperRogue 6.2 has seven more lands than version 5.x, and nine more lands than version 4.x (which was available before HyperRogue was on Steam), which had just eleven lands. Thanks to all the players who have made this possible -- either by posting their ideas and thoughts on the discussion forums, or simply by buying the game -- and have fun exploring all the twenty locations! Also, if you have not noticed: my other game, Hydra Slayer , is currently on Steam Greenlight. Both games are roguelikes based on mathematical concepts, but in a very different way. If you like HyperRogue and would like to see Hydra Slayer on Steam, consider voting for it! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=388713303
