Osmos, the acclaimed cell-absorbing puzzle game, returns to Android! Previously removed due to playability issues stemming from outdated technology, developer Hemisphere Games has resurrected it with a completely revamped port.
Remember the unique physics-based gameplay? Absorb other microorganisms, but avoid becoming prey yourself! This simple yet captivating premise made Osmos a hit, but Android users faced a long wait for its return.
Now, years after its 2010 debut, Osmos is available on Google Play with a brand-new port optimized for modern Android operating systems. Experience this micro-organic battle royale like never before.
Hemisphere Games explains in a blog post that initial Android development, done with Apportable, was hampered when that porting studio closed. The game's subsequent removal from app stores, due to incompatibility with current Android versions (it only ran on obsolete 32-bit systems), led to this much-anticipated rebuild.
A Cellular Masterpiece
Need more convincing? Our rave reviews of Osmos (for both iOS and Android), and its numerous awards, speak for themselves. The gameplay trailer above showcases its innovative mechanics, which have, ironically through a process of osmosis, influenced numerous subsequent games. Its pre-social media release is almost a missed opportunity; it would undoubtedly be a TikTok sensation today.
Osmos is a nostalgic gem well worth revisiting. It evokes a time of boundless mobile gaming potential, a golden age many hope to see again.
While Osmos stands out for its beauty, there's no shortage of brain-teasing mobile games. Explore our list of the top 25 best puzzle games for iOS and Android if you need more options!
