As soon as I tapped the screen to start, it popped up an advertisement so I deleted this app.

Response from developer

That message was just to let you know that most people would prefer to start with the Torus Games instead of the Hyperbolic Games. The Torus Games is another one of my apps, and is also completely free on the App Store. You can dismiss that message and continue with the Hyperbolic Games if you want.

New Hyperbolic Games For IOS 15

Could You Add Mahjong and sokoban and chess and golf and 4 in a row for iOS 15!

Quite good

It’s a really fun app but it could do with some more game modes 👍

Games

Can you please add more games like minesweeper and flappy bird?

Infinite fun!

It’s fun! I have a idea, add a few different geometries or add a border to some games, it would be cool to see sudoku with 5 squares around a vertex! Or pool with a ton of curviture!
