Description
This strategic action puzzle game features original gameplay. You control a spacecraft situated on a globe which you can rotate and move around the screen. You must knock globes into others of the same colour, to rid the screen of all the globes. The screen has no borders, so globes can be pushed off the side of the screen, increasing your tactical range. Knocking globes of different colors into each other produces smaller pods which need to be picked up quickly, giving you energy, or they will turn into globes and you will have to get rid of them too. Many of the globes are linked to other globes (or the ship) via string, and the level layouts include barriers as obstacles (and ricochet points), making the Newtonian physics more complex.

Trivia
The Game of Harmony was marketed in the US as a Zen device -- a game that rewards you for relaxing and staying calm under pressure. (See Company Line for specifics.) However, the game was universally frustrating at times, so this particular marketing angle was quite ironic. Of my own personal experience of working in a retail software store at the time this game was published, I can remember almost every single copy of Harmony being returned by frustrated gamers.
Harmony was originally published by U.S. Gold in Europe under the title "E-Motion". The American "Harmony" release contained updated code and support for more music devices.
