Osmos, the acclaimed cell-absorbing puzzle game, returns to Android! Previously removed due to playability issues stemming from outdated porting technology, it's back with a completely revamped port from developer Hemisphere Games.
Remember the unique physics-based gameplay of Osmos? Absorb other microorganisms, but avoid becoming absorbed yourself! This simple yet captivating puzzle was a hit, but Android users faced a long wait – until now.
Years after its 2010 debut, Osmos is available on Google Play with a brand-new, modern Android port. Experience the micro-organic battle royale at its finest.
Hemisphere Games explains in a blog post that initial Android development, assisted by Apportable, was hampered when the porting studio closed. The game's subsequent removal from the Play Store, due to incompatibility with current Android systems (only running on obsolete 32-bit systems), paved the way for this rebuilt version.
