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 “The best iPad game yet.” — IGN 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 AWARDS / recognition: * "iPad Game of the Year" and "App of the Week" — Apple * Apple Design Award winner * #1 Top iPhone Game — IGN * iPad Game of the Year — TUAW * Game of the Year — Create Digital Music * Editor's Choice — Wired, Macworld, IGN, GameTunnel, and more... * Best in Show — IndieCade * Vision Award — Independent Games Festival * Coolest Atmosphere — IGN * Best Soundtrack — IGN * Most Innovative Game — Best App Ever Awards, Pocket Gamer * Many top lists including Kotaku, PAX, TouchArcade, iLounge, APPera, IFC, and more...

You just won’t find another experience quite like it.” — Slide To Play “Osmos HD is THE game for the iPad.” — Pocket Lint “It’s the best iPad game on the App Store” — MTV Multiplayer “The first proper breakout hit for the iPad.

This is the kind of game that gains tremendously from a large scale playing field. tops2 Well-Known Member Jan 21, 2011 2,083 56 48 #13 tops2, Sep 23, 2011 How representative is the demo compared to the full game? The demo doesn't feel like its gonna be my sort of game.. =/ DelBoy2181 Well-Known Member Mar 14, 2011 857 0 0 London, England #14 DelBoy2181, Sep 23, 2011 The demo is crap as it doesn't give you a good feel of the game. I tried the demo on the PC and based on that experience I'd never have bought Osmos. Luckily I decide to buy the iPhone version after reading all the positive reviews and have never looked back since. goiMot Well-Known Member Oct 21, 2009 5,079 0 0 Physician #15 goiMot, Mar 21, 2012 Last edited: Mar 21, 2012 Spring Equinox SALE: iPad & iPhone versions are 99c. nesio718 Well-Known Member Jun 16, 2010 914 0 0 getting paid....
