Osmos overview

Osmos is part ambient, cosmic simulator, and part Darwinistic game of survival. This multi-award-winning game features beautiful, physics-based gameplay, dreamlike visuals, and an atmospheric electronic soundtrack.

Your goal is to grow by absorbing smaller motes, but to propel yourself you must eject matter behind you, causing you to shrink. From this fundamental balance, Osmos leads the player through ambient playgrounds, deep solar systems, competitive petri dishes, dense mote-fields, and more.

Features
  • Progress from serenely ambient levels into varied and challenging worlds. (47 levels plus bonus content.)
  • Confront attractors, repulsors and intelligent motes with similar abilities and goals as you.
  • Procedural content: play random versions of any level.
  • Sublime electronic soundtrack by Loscil, Gas/High Skies, Julien Neto, Biosphere, and more.
  • 11 glorious achievements.
  • Dynamic time-warping: slow down the flow of time to outmaneuver agile opponents; speed it up to raise the challenge.
  • Retina display support.
  • 5 languages: English, French, German, Spanish and Italian.

Nice game, pity about the obscure and time wasting update method.

Excellent non-violent (what a change) game! Worth more than the asking price.

Lots of fun to play. I feel I've kind of exhausted it for now (not finished it, though) but it was incredible value. I'll return to it occasionally as it's nice and relaxing and ambient.

Osmos does look quite intriguing. Let's see now, requirements are for at least OS10.4.4....yeah, that's for the Osmos demo but one must purchase Osmos through the MacCrappStore which is for 10.6 software only. Wow, that makes a whole lotta sense. OK, MacCrapStore doesn't permit demo downloads, right? Seems like Osmos was originally coded for OS 10.4.4 or better. So If I'm running OS 10.5 I guess that I can't buy Osmos. So why couldn't Osmos's developer make Osmos available for pre CrapStore operating systems? This convoluted bullshit makes me say "Fuck the MacCrappStore.... Die MacCrapStore die!"
