This is truly amazing if your a fan of electric sheep and the likes.

Here's the desciption from the homepage:

"The Polynomial is a 3D spaceflight music game with abstract, mathematically generated scenery and models which are set to the music of your choice. You fly around in a very strange universe, shoot the enemies, meet and protect the friends, collect bonuses, fly through wormholes, and so on, all while rocking out to the music.

You can play the music supplied with the game or build a playlist of your own songs; you can even use microphone as music source. The music animation is highly configurable with multiple visualization types.

If shooting up stuff is not your thing, maybe you'll like using it in editor mode to create unique fractal artwork. Or you can set the difficulty to none and concentrate on all the non-killing action and enjoying the beauty.

The Polynomial features an innovative scoring system. Scoring is based on continuously timed counts of your actions in the past 1, 5, 20, and 60 minutes of your play, as well as on how much you can do in the space of one lifetime without being killed. If you are playing for the score and you screw up early, you can just keep on playing – thanks to the unique continuous scoring. All of the timed counts are running simultaneously and your scores are constantly updated.

There are multiple scoreboards for different types of action, as well as a combined score which rewards you for balanced play. Conversely, if you just like flying around and don't like shooting, you can try top the scoring in just the flowers you have collected or wormholes you passed through – and if you think you are very bad at this game, you can try to get the high score in number of deaths."

It can be viewed in 3d using several different techniques like side by side and anaglyph and more.

I see those hexagonal fractals from the second picture in my visions all the time. They're always tantalizing. Interesting concepts here. I guess I'll try the free demo
 
Awesome! Another fan of polynomial!!!! I love this game! I bought it as soon as I played the demo via steam. Good times. I love experimenting with the settings to get all the different effects.

Glad to see other nexians into games I play. Thx for posting it imPsimon.
 
... funny that the web address both contains the letters DMT in the correct order, AND is a phonetic anagram of "Dimitri"... 8)

I hope this is available for mac. Looking into it now!!
