Miegakure's fourth dimension looks to be another spatial dimension. From what I read/watched about it, you can swap the fourth dimension with one of the other "horizontal" dimensions. Notice the green grass world is replaced by slices of a few worlds, and the ring is placed in the desert world slice, then the dimensions are swapped so it is simply a desert world, and the process is reversed to get back to the grass world.
I've heard that adding multiple time dimensions helps simplify things in some fields, and it causes some interesting effects. Try googling "hypertime." How could multiple time dimensions be implemented in a game? Are spatial and temporal dimensions "swappable" like is done with 2 spatial dimensions miegakure? I can see using a time dimension as a spatial dimension, but the reverse doesn't seem too useful to me at the moment. Hmm, I may need to start my own crazy dimension swapping game. It would be kinda fun walking forward and backward through time, ignoring the arrow of time completely until it is returned to a temporal dimension.
Out of curiosity, what other {important, useful, interesting} categories of dimensions could there be besides spatial and temporal?
