Description: In Fractal Fly what you do is simply… fly! There is nothing to win, just the world around you to explore: Fractals are computer generated landscapes, but you don’t have to know how it works, all is already setup for you so that you can just enjoy it. There are countless details in a fractal, you can lose yourself in the landscapes, just admiring and listening to the peaceful music that accompanies it. Fractal fly is about relaxing and contemplating. You can also morph all the landscape and discover even more details and shapes.

Review: ‘Fractal Fly’ is an interactive experience mostly featuring you slowly moving through various fractal patterns that you can also slightly manipulate and change. I would swear down that it wasn’t made for VR at all because the menu system is just utter trash and the fractals feel somehow flat and not in 3D at all. It’s relaxing I suppose, but there are far better apps out there to relax with. Even if you get all the DLC with it you will probably only play around with it once. But the good news is it is cheap enough to give it a look. It’s kind of freaky, kind of relaxing and it is dare I say quite interesting. But it could easily be so much better, essential with regards to the menu and the depth of the graphics.
