Description
** Apple Design Award winner and iPad Game of the Year! **
Enter the Darwinian world of a galactic mote. To survive, absorb smaller organisms and grow—but beware of larger predators. Osmos features unique physics-based play, stellar graphics, and a hypnotic ambient soundtrack. Absorb or be absorbed!
“The ultimate ambient experience” — Gizmodo
“Beyond doubt, a work of genius" — GameAndPlayer.net
THE CRUX:
you must grow by absorbing smaller motes, but to propel yourself you must eject matter behind you, causing you to shrink. From this delicate balance, Osmos leads the player through floating playgrounds, competitive petri dishes, deep solar systems, and more.
“Named as iPad Game of the Year for a reason, Osmos is a fantastic game. A combination of physics, survival and classic eat em up” — WeDoCode
“Whether you're a child at heart who likes mucking about with single-cell organisms, or a strategist with a physics degree, this game will appeal to everyone.” — App Store review

Ratings and Reviews
Art meets science! (Well, sort of...)
Sure this game isn't for everyone. If you have the attention span of a housefly and aren't really into games that require more than 2 free minutes, Osmos would be the worse game you'd have ever played. If you can spare more than 2 mins and can immerse yourself in a game, with headphones and all, this game will enthral you.
If you've played Spore Origins, this is like that only more grown up. Sedate and outer spacey colour palettes abound in Osmos and the soundtrack is something any fan of electronic ambient music will appreciate. While the premise of the game (absorb other 'motes' by merging with them while squirting bits of yourself as propulsion fluid) does sound a little gross when put into words like this, the game isn't gross in any way, I promise. It's maybe creepy at bits but definitely not gross.
Overall, a game that gives iDevices a good name as a gaming platform.
Definitely worth buying
In Osmos, you have to absorb stuff smaller than you to keep growing and eventually take over the whole screen. If you're a fan of Katamari, you should consider purchasing Osmos. Although they're two separate game in terms of gameplay, but the game focuses on growing and growing and growing until the majority of your screen is filled with what you initially started out as. Great controls, complicated physics and fun gameplay. Definitely worth getting!
Awesome gameplay and sound couple
Really enjoyed the soundtrack and the zen-like gameplay, hope to see more updates. Maybe game modes and backdrops like those in a petri dish?
