Description

Music of the Spheres is a puzzle game about bouncing bullets, Islamic art and sound. It is meant as a vision of heaven. Environments are constructed to express a variety of tactics with conciseness and elegance, and to encourage thoughtfulness and a certain kind of creativity.

The game is almost entirely the work of Hamish Todd, a game journalist and playwright whose work has appeared on Kotaku, Destructoid, and Insertcredit. He made it while studying maths and philosophy at the University of York. Its main influences are the games of Kim Swift and Jon Blow, the writings of anna anthropy, and the research of Peter Lu.
