Now I want to see a game played on a Klein bottle.
To do the concept justice, you would need to make orientation meaningful. Perhaps something like a puzzle-platformer where your character has asymmetric abilities, so that you have to return to the same location in the opposite orientation to make progress.

There's a version of snake by a grad student in Belgrade that is on the projective plane. It's not a Klein bottle but it's a non-orientable surface.

Well are you in luck! How do you feel about snakes?

I love the fact that it clearly demonstrates the problem with using the projective plane as a map: you can see a second copy of the snake if you approach a particular pair of points!
