sfäre

Like all the best toys there's no wrong way to play with sfäre. Its simple controls allow for an endless stream of entrancing new patterns that gently twist and pulse in a relaxing yet fascinating display. A series of lines emanates from the center of the screen. Four crystal orbs sit in the corners. Each one controls an aspect of the pattern. Playing with them reveals the lines are made of small dots that can be twisted into new and complex arrangements. sfäre isn't so much a creation tool as it is a voyage of discovery, seeing what beautiful new imagery can appear. Off-center patterns become lovely, simply by tapping either the horizontal or vertical mirror buttons. The entrancing visuals are backed up by a chill soundtrack, with different tunes available. While sfäre is not a music visualizer the sounds and patterns fit together perfectly. When the real world calls again you can rise up refreshed from peaceful play of sfäre, making everything a little better and more manageable than it had been before.
