Quick Look: The Polynomial: Space Of The Music

This game looks insanely good!

close>?  Did I actually get it!? 
 
Oh and this game looks interesting 
 
Edit:  Damnt

fucking love this game. Can't get enough of it. As good a purchase as Minecraft, for sure.

What a weird time for a vid to go up?

Awesome, just as I wondered what to do before heading to work!

I bought this when it first came out because it looked pretty and because the demo only lets you use OGGs. Which is tricky of them.

Come on! So close. Anyway, this game looks really cool. :D

Been expecting this QL.

" What a weird time for a vid to go up? "

This is exactly what I want out of games. Glad Jeff loves this stuff too, because then I find it through him.

nice im geting this game   
 WOW i need to get high to this lol

This game is beautiful.

Lovely stuff. That screen corruption when you get hit is just gorgeous.

damn I ran out of sour patch kids, im freakin out!!!!!!

I'll repeat what i said on the bombcast page:
 
The Polynomial is one of the most beautiful games or things i have ever seen.

Visually impressive. I love artistic, creative and trippy games. They're so gorgeous to look at. 
 
Though I'm not feeling the gameplay mechanics. Maybe I'll get it when its more cheaper.

Almost bought this the other day. DEFINITELY buying it now.

I think my eyes just orgasmed.

" nice im geting this game    WOW i need to get high to this lol "

Dude....what?

Am tripping balls, brah.

Looks interesting as an audio visual experience.  Looks boring as a game.

Looks like something i would have for my screensaver.

Please stop combining pretty shooters with good music. I need another FreQuency or Amplitude! Preferably, FREQUENCY!

I dunno. I don't see what the music has to do with anything. It's less of a "music shooter" and more of a shooter with a trippy electro soundtrack and no sound effects.

24 hours screensaver

Trippy as fuuuuuck

this quick look should have come with a seizure warning

I'd like to see it with a real, recognisable song so I can see how the music actually effects what's going on.

Goddamn this game is beautiful. I want to buy it just so I can look at it, and encourage the developers to keep making flashing colors. But I can't afford it right now.. it's so cheap, but my money is needed elsewhere...
 
If it goes on sale, I WILL buy it. Soon, The Polynomial! Soon!
 
Also, totally called the Jeff Minter discussion before it happened. I wonder what he thinks about this game!
 
[edit] AHA! Or not! There's a demo! And an hour or so of that was more than enough to satisfy me. From what I can tell, the music only affects a single thing; the "animator" thing that you can set. It makes the "arena" behave in different ways visually. Like blink in rhythm with the music, or... move slightly up and down in rhythm with the music... No gameplay from what I could tell, and basically no intensity feedback either. Shame. [/edit]

Love this game so far, but couldn't help notice that Jeff didn't touch upon a few key points if you want to get the most of the 'game' part of this product. 
 
Gameplay tips: 
 

• Always be rushing into the blue ghosts - doing so increases your speed and the only way to survive insane mode is to be fast enough so the red robots can't hit you. Your speed will decrease over time though so you need to stay stocked up on blue ghost juice.
• Also, the slow moving red ghosts with light shooting out of them are currently eating (!) a blue ghost, if you kill it in time, you can save the ghost and you'll be guaranteed a power-up.  
• The large static circular nebulas are hiding zones - if you get surrounded, wait it out in there until the red's move on and you can find some blue ghosts to get your speed on.
• The giant red sun is essentially a reflective barrier ala geometry wars - shots bounce off and do more damage to anything they hit but are super inaccurate. 

I'M PEAKING

That's far out, brah.

It also has several different 3D modes.  I'm gonna have to get some red/cyan glasses.

TRIPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not really a fan of how they tried to turn it into a space shooter, but jesus christ, this game is beautiful to watch. I am a huge nerd for pretty, shiny lights.
 
Now I just wait for the ability to make the walls of my room turn into this...

I am sure doom  would work fine with this

We need more Dave quick looks. I miss then. :(
 
As for this game though, trippy shit!

" I am sure doom  would work fine with this "

Now you post this...wish I'd seen it 12 hrs ago.  I'd still have my $10

Just when you thought there were no more balls to trip.

windows media player: the game

Getting out my headphones for this.

Man imagine playing this when you are high

Looks even more trippy than Beat Hazard was which was also another awesome music shooter.

I might just buy this to fly around. 

Damn you Jeff Minter!
