I have another app that shows fractal tunnels but this one is interactive in a good way. So enthralling and creative. I'm just amazed. The alien and vortex are my favorite. Beyond any other fractal auto generating app I've seen. It just keeps going and changing with different colors and so complex, I have to watch it again. ***** I just love it!
