Summary

E‑Motion (sometimes called Sphericule or The Game of Harmony) drops you into a minimalist arena where a round spacecraft must clear every globe before the clock runs out. The playfield wraps at the edges, so a ship or sphere that disappears on the left instantly re‑appears on the right, creating a seamless loop of motion.

Globes come in three colors; matching colors annihilate on contact, while mismatched pairs spawn tiny pods of the third hue. Those pods are a quick energy boost, but linger too long and they revert to full‑sized globes, adding pressure to the timer. Some stages lace certain spheres with elastic bands or tether the ship itself, and destroying a globe snaps the band cleanly away.

Hidden bonuses pepper the 50‑level climb: a secret for never rotating right, and two pod‑only bonus rooms where blue pods score points while yellow or red pods either transform or end the round. Barriers and volatile spheres on higher difficulties explode if left untouched, draining your ship’s energy.

The joystick works like classic space shooters—rotate left or right, then thrust forward—while the game’s physics model treats collisions and elastic pulls with surprising realism. Albert Einstein even makes a cameo on the cover, and the sequel Vaxine expands the concept into a 3D ray‑traced shooter.
