Description: PolyDome is a musical environment that changes and progresses when you interact with it. Think of it as a sequencer, but rather than being a tool for creating music, it’s a place where you can explore and create different musical phrases and sounds. The point of PolyDome is not to win, loose or compete, but simply to relax and enjoy.
Review: A place where you can explore a new way of creating music, and experience it all around you. This game reminds me of Chime for the Xbox 360, a sort of puzzle game where you created music as you went along. The game here is hitting the shapes with the balls, then with each shape, you strike with a ball a new sound bite it added into the musical mix. Hit a light shape again and the sound is taken out.
The only real goal here is to make sweet music and get the choice of shapes right and you will make very sweet music indeed. While at first it does feel fun you soon start to lose interest. If there was only some way to save the sounds you make, that would have been good. If you like your music and looking for a very chilled out VR app, this is the one for you.
