There are some simple games like that. 4d mazes, 4d tetris, 4d pong, etc. The problem is it's pretty impossible for people to wrap their mind around it, and it doesn't project very well on 2d screens. Research has shown that people don't get better at it with practice either.

I'm going to google around for this, but do you have any links to the research off hand? I'd be interested in seeing it.

My favorite 2048 variation was the 4D version. It was trippy but I felt like I got my head around that. I think it was because the game rules were so simple that instead of trying to visualize what was going on, my brain just accepted the patterns.
