Osmos – physics-based gameplay

Last Updated on July 12, 2021

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.

Features include:

• Addictive, physics-based gameplay.
• Fluid multitouch controls.
• Lush visuals with full retina display support.
• 47 levels, plus unlockable bonus content.
• 3 different “zones” of levels:
  • Sentient levels – the goal is to prevail over active motes of various types that hunt and absorb other motes, including the player.
  • Ambient levels the player’s mote typically floats in a large area surrounded by inactive motes, and must become the largest or simply very large.
  • Force levels – special motes (Attractors) influence other motes with a force similar to gravitation. The player has to take into account orbital physics when planning movement in order to save mass when changing course.
• Sublime award winning electronic soundtrack by Loscil, Gas/High Skies, Julien Neto, Biosphere, Lucy Lub, Sickbay, Vincent et Tristan and more.
• Time-warping.
• Procedural generation: play random versions of any level.
