Osmos
Osmos is a puzzle video game developed by Canadian developer
Hemisphere Games.
Enter the ambient world of Osmos: elegant, physics-based
gameplay, dreamlike visuals, and a minimalist, electronic soundtrack.
Your
objective is to grow by absorbing other motes. Propel yourself by
ejecting matter behind you. But be wise: ejecting matter also shrinks
you. Relax... good things come to those who wait.
Progress
from serenely ambient levels into varied and challenging worlds.
Confront attractors, repulsors and intelligent motes with similar
abilities and goals as you.
