Overview

The Game of Harmony, known in Europe as E-Motion and in some UK Amiga releases as Sphericule, is a physics-puzzle game developed by The Assembly Line and published by Accolade (in North America) by U.S. Gold (in Europe) in 1990-1991, with both regions receiving DOS PC and Amiga releases and Europe also receiving Atari ST, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, and ZX Spectrum releases. It also received a Game Boy release in North America, ported by The Code Monkeys.
In The Game of Harmony, players guide a ship inside an orb (which move in polar coordinates and wrap around the screen, similar to those in Computer Space and Asteroids) as they work to bump balls of the same color or design onto each-other to clear them. Complicating matters is that bumping together balls of different colors/designs cause "pods" to form of a third color/design, which can be collected for energy and expand into balls if left alone. Also complicating matters is that balls can be tethered onto each-other (or even the player's ship).
