The Polynomial is more of an experience as opposed to a game. You fly around empty space watching gorgeous mathematical patterns of color vibrate according to the beat of the music. Not only that, but you can import your own music files into the game and watch them shake up the patterns for endless possibilities. I reccommend The Polynomial not as a game, but as a very unique experience.

- 'Be your own DJ.' - The Polynomial catapults you into a space arena, with colorful stars and lights illuminating your endless surroundings. Controlling your own little spaceship, shooting 'enemy' objectives and gather power-up items makes it feel like an all classic space-shooter game. Itā€™s more a case of floating around, attacking anything that comes in your direction, exploring the intriguing and trippy world. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=602627619 Customize your own playlists while navigating along gorgeous environments, tweaking the settings to the style of music, flying around and listening to your favorite songs. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=567639290 The editor mode gives you plenty of freedom to mess around on over 30 custom designed maps, by changing the fov or adding post processing effects to your game. The developer did a beautiful job, making the game analyzing your music and syncing it to their individual beat, starting from simple classic, jazz or dubstep and R&B. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=602630634 +Visually refreshing and unique game. +Easy gameplay with lots of graphical options and customizable playlists. The only downside, after a while it'll appear to be the same over and over once you've gone through all maps. Verdict: Overall, I had a great time exploring and enjoying playing with my own music. The flashing lighting effects can be trippy for the eye, so not an 'everybody's' game with the massive amount of crazy color particles on screen. I still recommend anybody to give it a try! 8/10

This is a brilliant music-based game. Beautiful artwork interspersed with game-play you can choose intensity level on. My favorite is listening to some very chill electronic music and fly around while I trip on my substance of choice. Very recommend much amazing!

I do NOT recommend this game to discerning gamers. I HIGHLY recommend this game to someone who is looking for a cool thing to have on one's LED Projector wallscreen while playing phat beats or haunting melodies from one's "altered states of consciousness special music" folder. I use Winamp's milkdrop for the beginning of the party, and then when guests are looking to relax and play simple mindless no-consequence gaming in the smoking room we switch to the Polynomial and the music never skips a beat. Also, I understand the game does get more challenging when you crank up the difficulty, and that's the only way to get the higher level achievements, but I don't use this game for gaming. The game mechanics are great. You fire your inobtrusive, silent weapon and attempt to hit an enemy this is often impossibly far away, carefully compensating for the great distance by projecting the target's trajectory in your imagination. That's hard to do, so this game is a challenge. Its best features are the silent weapons fire and the silent seamless transition from getting silently shot to death by nazi robots to silently respawning; your music won't skip a beat, so people in the next room won't go, "Hey, what happened to the music!?" Also, this game may cause people on drugs to stop talking and stare for a long time. Get an LED projector is my point. On a side note, have any of you other reviewers actually done acid? This game will not cause you to become every person who has ever lived, so it does not feel like an acid trip. That being said, you should smoke the stuff that was recently legalized in your state before playing

Oh my! Oh my, oh my! That is really all I can say for this game. It is absolutely beautiful. Depending on the music you put with it, it can be relaxing, hectic, chaotic, blissful...anything! If you do not own this game, GET IT NOW! Might I recommend using the song called 'Promise' from Thomas Bergersen's 'Illusions'. Honestly this is a rival for audiosurf and in many ways more than a match for it! I cannot recommend this enough!
