Old preinstalled 3d demo game?

Hi, I am new to this forum and registered to ask just this one question, because it's DRIVING ME CRAZY -

Does anyone recall a color game with 3d graphics that came preinstalled on macs, that involved flying over an undulating planar surface, doing stuff (although I cannot recall what exactly) while trying not to fall over the edge of the surface, and all this to some catchy computer-generated music?

I don't remember whether it was just stock macs or powerPC systems, but this was probably in the late 1980s or early 1990s and was definitely a stock game (like nanosaur). Thanks for the help!

No, that's not it, but that looks like a lot of fun!
The thing I recall the best was the music, which was Kraftwerk-esque.

I think I know the one you mean. You have running platforms (inverted pyramids) and the whole thing looks psychedelic in colours. Did it have BATS in it? Are you a flying dark-blue BAT or something? I cannot remember the music, although there was music throughout, from memory.

I have the game backed up somewhere.

PS. I think (due to the crudity of the textures etc.) that this was a QuickDraw3D game, like Nanosaur/Bugdom.
