Found a link to this from rockpapershotgun:

The Polynomial :: Preview

This is the game I'm currently working on. It is a 3D space shooter with mathematically generated fractal scenery and models. It is easy to get started - you fly around, shoot some stuff, collect some other stuff, and dodge enemy bullets, all while admiring the trippy scenery and self-repairing by flying close to stars. When you're comfortable, you can set difficulty to "Insane" (press esc) for a very fast paced gameplay.
To get really high score, you must be good at the shooting and dodging and collecting parts. The game has emergent depth: if you want to score high, you may have to pick powerups strategically, and pack the chasing enemies closely to exploit chain reaction and to avoid flying too far for powerups, etc.

It does not seem to have much of a point as a game at this point but it is absolutely beautiful.

This game has already received quite a bit of attention in the indie circuit and I'd love to play it, but my laptop fails at life and running this game.

Anybody else had a go? I'm wondering if it's worth getting on the developer's case.
