Osmos Returns to Google Play with Enhanced Experience

Osmos, the acclaimed cell-absorbing puzzle game, is back on Android! Previously removed due to playability issues stemming from outdated porting technology, it's been resurrected by developer Hemisphere Games with a completely revamped port.

Remember Osmos? This unique, award-winning puzzle challenges you to absorb other microorganisms while avoiding the same fate. Simple yet captivating, its Android availability was unfortunately limited—until now.

Years after its 2010 debut, Osmos returns to Google Play, fully optimized for modern Android devices. Experience this micro-organic battle royale like never before.

Hemisphere Games explains in a blog post that initial Android development, aided by Apportable, was hampered by the studio's subsequent closure, rendering updates impossible.
