What is Polynomial 2 - Universe of the Music?
This single-player arcade space shooter pairs combat with music visualization. You fly among stars and fractal nebulae, fighting invaders with rockets and lasers in objective-based levels or a procedurally generated arcade mode. Screensaver modes let you watch the visuals react to your own music without fighting.
For you if...
- +you enjoy free-roaming flight through abstract, colorful space
Not for you if...
- −you want multiplayer battles rather than single-player space combat
