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.

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
“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

“What iPad Gaming Should Be All About” — Gizmodo
5/5 - Macworld Editor’s Choice - “One of the best games we’ve played so far this year. An utterly serene, yet fiendishly complicated game that deserves a place in every iPad owners collection.” — MacWorld
4/4, Must Have - “We are more than overwhelmed by Osmos for iPad… The game design is thoughtful and intuitive, new level structures are flawless, and the visuals are stunning yet simplistic… every iPad owner should have Osmos on their device. 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

5/5 - “Osmos is an absolute must that will change the way you think of games, and what you expect from them.” — AppAdvice
“Beyond doubt, a work of genius... a relaxing, meditative experience about going with the flow... It all adds up to something otherworldly and just . . . incredible.” — GameAndPlayer.net

I don’t understand.
Not relaxing. Not working. Poor instructions! Ugh!
Satisfied
Great game no adds fun strategy
Subtle, clever and relaxing
This is definitely the most enjoyable orbital mechanics game that I’ve seen. It’s beautiful, fast, stable and fun. I would thoroughly recommend it.
I found this game years ago….it’s still fun!
It’s very relaxed and also challenging. Lots of fun and I’m excited to try out multiplayer mode.
Still loving Osmos after 10+ years
This was one of the first games I ever had for my iPad. It is challenging and relaxing at the same time. Still have not finished all of the levels but it doesn’t matter. I keep going back to play it again. Osmos is still my favorite!
Still great
Perfect for relaxation and quiet time. Definitely a great and unique game. If my kids were young, this would be a game that I would allow them before bedtime.
Engrossing & Relaxing
You will pass enjoyable time in this physics based game. No matter how good you get at it, you’ll enjoy playing it again. Very relaxing, while also entertaining. Thanks for a good game!
Addictive
I have had this game for several years and I love it! It is entertaining, challenging, and instructive. And kudos to the developers for not abandoning it as iOS updates have been introduced.
All time favorite
I’ve been playing this for many years. I always come back to it. It’s a classic, very well done, and fun.
