Description
A cosmic game of survival
** 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
“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

I am so attracted to this game

This is the best game ever created

My go-to chill game

If you want a game to help you chill (while being a challenge), this is the one. And the soundtrack (top-notch ambient) is part of the reason. On ALL the other games I have, I turn off the music and sound after about 5 seconds. On this game, sometimes I start it up just so I can hear the music.

Hypnotic and addictive

I can’t count the hours I’ve spent with Osmos! I have been wishing for years that they’d come out with a sequel.

Great game

Four stars when I bought it, now raised to five just for releasing updates. Ten years and no subscriptions in sight! ❤️

Still one of the best games of all time

It’s old and largely the same as it was upon its creation but it’s still better than 99% of games out there. It’s beautiful and compelling.
