HyperRogue also has special modes which experiment with other geometries (spherical, and elliptic which is non-orientable). Hydra Slayer has Mobius strip and Klein bottle levels.

HyperRogue is an example of a game that takes place on the hyperbolic plane. Rather than looping, the map is infinite.

Hyperrogue may be the only game in existence with a hyperbolic surface topology: http://www.roguetemple.com/z/hyper/

F-Zero GX had a track called Mobius Ring, that was... well, a Möbius ring.

F-Zero X had a more trivial track that was just the outward side of a regular ring, but it was rather weird too, because it meant that this was a looping track that had no turns.

I don't know about video-games but there are puzzles by Jeff Weeks (http://www.geometrygames.org/) on torus.
