Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, by Edwin A. Abbott from 1884 describes how A Square, an inhabitant of the 2-dimensional world of Flatland, encounters Lineland, Pointland, and Spaceland with the help of A Sphere.  Abbott explores the differences of worlds limited by dimensions and invites us to think about what a fourth-dimensional being might be like.

A Sphere would visit Flatland once every thousand years.  A couple of millennia have passed since the book.  And this time, Spaceland seems to be invading!  And they are colorful.

Begin as a two-dimensional being with only one dimension of vision (and a handy mini-map!)  Discover the ancient lab that had once tried to stop the Spacelanders.  Have your vision expanded, take up a light gun to banish the invaders, and discover The Great Device that could save Flatland from Spaceland forever.
