    ** Apple Design Award winner and iPad Game of the Year! ** Enter the Darwinian world of a galactic mote. To survive, absorb smaller organisms and grow—but beware of larger predators. Osmos features unique physics-based play, stellar graphics, and a hypnotic ambient soundtrack. Absorb or be absorbed! “The ultimate ambient experience” — Gizmodo “Beyond doubt, a work of genius" — GameAndPlayer.net THE CRUX: you must grow by absorbing smaller motes, but to propel yourself you must eject matter behind you, causing you to shrink. From this delicate balance, Osmos leads the player through floating playgrounds, competitive petri dishes, deep solar systems, and more. “Named as iPad Game of the Year for a reason, Osmos is a fantastic game.

    Awesome. I've never taken the iPhone version off my device...time to get the iPad version.
     
  11. The ipad retina version is so much better with added real estate and much better controlling. Graphics are also much better.

    Also can play multiplayer bluetooth ipad to iphone. Coolness. Very highly recommended!

    I just played 50 games with the same person, and even though he won mostly it was awesome! I loved this game on PC, even better in ipad with multiplayer.

    Has anyone gotten voice chat to work? It wouldn't connect for me for some reason.

    fun game!

    Man. I played this a long while back. I burned through most of the levels and jumped into multiplayer. I find that most of my opponents must have been on the go (go figure, playing on their phones...) and they wouldn't stick around very long. Usually only a round or two. I find that with most multiplayer games on mobile devices though.

    Still very fun game.
