Official description

Adanaxis is a space shooter like no other. It takes place in a world entirely different to everyday experience. As well as left/right, up/down and forward/back, there's another direction in space - the fourth dimension. Objects phase in and out as your craft rotates into this hidden dimension. The game uses an all-new 4D texturing method to display the fluid rotations and motion that are possible in four dimensions. All ten degrees of freedom are available for mouse and joystick control, to create an environment different to any other game. A simple scanner system and tutorial make the game easy to pick up.

For Linux, a GPL version of this game is available, which lacks the commercially-sourced graphical and audio content present in the non-GPL version.

Comment

Mushware has provided Ubuntu, Fedora and Debian with GPLv2 licensed slightly stripped down version of Adanaxis. Don't know how different it is from the commercial version.
