Colored atoms are scattered across the screen (some connected by elastic bands).
As time passes, they begin to tremble, faster and faster, until they explode, causing a detrimental loss to your energy bar…
To get through it, there’s only one solution: play bumper cars, and make sure two balls of the same colour collide to make them disappear.
And if two balls of different colours happen to meet … well, they make babies! Hurry up and absorb them to regain energy, because after a few seconds, they grow to the size of their parents, clutter the screen, and start pulsating dangerously…
The game would be simple without this “relative” control system, like in Asteroids, meaning you can only move straight ahead, with the left and right buttons used solely to rotate on your axis.
The original title, Sphéricule, might not have been melodic enough… So, distributors renamed it E-Motion in Europe (“E” for Einstein, because of the relative controls?) and The Game of Harmony in the United States.
