Colored atoms are scattered all over the screen (some connected by rubber bands).
If we do nothing, they explode, dropping to bar our way of life (I love google translation!). The goal is to make balls collide with those of the same color to see them disappear. If two balls of different colors meet, a new one is created, smaller and in a third color. If you hurry, you can pick it up before it grows to regain energy.

The game would be simple if control was not relative, like Asteroids, meaning that you can only go straight forward, left and right buttons are used to rotate your "ship". That makes the game extremely difficult.

The original title, Sphericule was perhaps not quite melodious (in French that rhymes with the F word), so distributors had it renamed E-Motion in Europe ("E" for Einstein, don't ask me why) and The Game of Harmony in the USA.
