Flatland: Fallen Angle
https://www.kongregate.com/games/seethrustudios/flatland-fallen-angle
I love Flatland the book. It's still a good book to get into the 4-dimensional geometry, and this game turns it into a game.

You play as Sly, the fox, exploring the wide world and becoming more and more powerful.
(Much better than the first one.)
