Brings what grabs you about The Polynomial: a distinctive art style, good gunplay and a sci-fi setting.

A rail shooter where every shot becomes part of the electronic soundtrack. Abstract neon visuals, rhythm and sound merge into a hypnotic trip through a computer network.

Symphony

Action-packed real-time combat

An arcade-style action game whose levels are generated from your own music collection. The tempo and intensity of each song shape the gameplay, with items and bosses along the way.

Everyday Shooter

Gameplay comes before story

Everyday Shooter is an album of abstract shooters where every shot you fire triggers guitar riffs that weave together into the game's soundscape. Each level has its own musical and visual character, and the geometric shapes pulse and morph as you play.

Child of Eden

Distinctive, stylised art style

A rhythm-driven rail shooter by Tetsuya Mizuguchi where music, light and color blend into a synesthetic trip. You lock on and fire in time with the beat at abstract enemies across psychedelic cyberspace worlds.

Aaero

Shooting and gunplay

A rhythm shooter where you fly along ribbons of light, blasting enemies and bosses in time with licensed electronic music. The soundtrack and stylized look are the highlights.

Waves

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast arcade twin-stick shooter where you clear arenas of enemy waves by chaining combos and well-timed bombs. A time-slowing buffer and seven modes with online leaderboards add depth and replay value.

Dexed

Shooting and gunplay

Dexed is an on-rails VR shooter where you aim with both controllers while drifting through dreamlike, richly crafted worlds. Its appeal lies in atmosphere and visual mood rather than deep gameplay systems.

Kromaia Ω

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

You roam freely through 360-degree shoot-'em-up levels guarded by colossal god-like sentinels. Between ancient temple ruins you solve puzzles and collect treasures, as technology and myth blend together.
