Osmos Returns to Google Play

Osmos, the acclaimed cell-absorbing puzzle game, returns to Android! Previously removed due to playability issues stemming from outdated porting technology, it's back with a completely rebuilt version.

Remember the unique physics-based gameplay of Osmos? Absorb other microorganisms, but avoid becoming someone else's meal! This simple yet captivating puzzle game was unavailable on Android for years, but now it's back on Google Play.

Developer Hemisphere Games explains in a blog post that the original Android version, developed with Apportable, became unplayable after Apportable's closure. The game was subsequently removed from the store due to its incompatibility with current 64-bit Android devices. This new release rectifies that.
