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 Previously removed due to playability issues stemming from outdated porting technology, it's back with a completely revamped version.
Remember the unique physics-based gameplay of Osmos? Absorb microorganisms, avoid becoming 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, the developer, explains in a blog post that initial Android development relied on Apportable, a now-defunct porting studio. This prevented further updates, ultimately leading to the game's removal from Google Play due to incompatibility with current Android systems (32-bit only). The new release features a completely rebuilt port, ensuring a smooth and playable experience.
