Osmos, the acclaimed cell-absorbing puzzle game, returns to Android! Previously removed due to compatibility issues that hindered updates, it's back thanks to developer Hemisphere Games with a completely revamped port.
Remember the unique physics-based gameplay? Absorb microorganisms, avoid being absorbed—a simple yet captivating challenge. Now, for the first time in years, this award-winning puzzler is available on modern Android devices.
Hemisphere Games explains in a blog post that initial Android development, aided by Apportable, stalled after Apportable closed, rendering the game unplayable on current systems (it only supported outdated 32-bit Android). The game's return marks a complete rebuild and a fresh port for a new generation of players.
