The Polynomial - Space of the music

You pilot a ship through abstract 3D arenas whose mathematical, fractal scenery animates in response to music. The game offers combat-focused play as well as a non-shooting mode for free exploration.

In combat, shoot enemies, avoid damage, collect bonuses, protect allies, and chase high scores. The flight and shooting take place amid shifting patterns and colors shaped by the soundtrack.

Play with the included soundtrack, imported music and playlists, or microphone input. Choose from hand-picked arenas or generate and edit arenas, and adjust visual and music settings to shape the experience.

Some reviewers enjoy the immersive, music-reactive visuals and the option to explore with their own music, describing the experience as a relaxing audiovisual space. Others find the shooting and available activities too limited, or feel the game works better as a music visualizer than as a shooter.
