Osmos App Reviews

63 Customer Reviews:

I bought Osmos for my iPhone and really loved it, but wasnt sure how it would be for the Mac. It is so beautiful on the larger screen and is easy to use with my Macbook Pros trackpad! This is ONE OF THE BEST LOOKING AND SOUNDING GAMES!!! It is so immersive and the graphics look fantastic. The physics of the game is interesting it the sounds make it both relaxing and captivating. Buy it, especially if you liked the iPhone or iPad version.

Good

Could you please add iCloud syncing progress for my Macs and iOS?

Osmos can be a lot of fun at first, but at some point, it gets repetitive and loses depth. I did enjoy it the first several days, but I guess Im not feeling it as a hardcore devotee of the game. I stopped caring about the higher levels, but I may give it a go again sometime.

I dont know who described this game as a puzzle. It is just an arcade like asteroids with nice graphics and soothing music. A big waste of money. If you are looking for a puzzle game dont buy this.

The level instructions reappear every time you die and there is no way to quickly dismiss them. Also requires hitting the space-bar to start, which means you cant lean back and only use the mouse.

This is real eye-candy and it is very engaging. I find that the music (very nice) is distorted by changing the time speed, so usually I mute the game. Unfortunately, after a week or two of addictive play, there are no more challenges. I have played all but two scenarios to completion - perhaps after completing those two (which I did not especially like), new scenarios will open up? (I really dont think so …) I like the game very well, but think that I could have used the $10 to buy ice cream and been just as happy.

simple premise leading to a very deep and fun play experience.

The game is fun, a nice way to waste time. Its a total battery hog. My brand new MacBook Air was depleted by 30% for less than 20 minutes of game time. No other programs running either.

I feel terrible giving this four stars because it really deserves six. Its the best game Ive ever played on any apple device, hands down. I gave it four stars because I have the iPhone version, which includes multiplayer over Game Center. FUNNEST - THING - EVER. But theres no multiplayer for the Mac version! Im really upset about this. And honestly Id have to be to remove a star from this rating, its the best game ever. Get it now.

Bought this game on my iPad when it was first released, and I was blown away. I hesitated at the price, but bought it again for my MacBook Pro (late 2011), and Im glad I did. Its a game that seems made for a touchscreen, but the controls for the MBP are better than I expected. The game itself loses none of its immersiveness and challenge between platforms. I agree with the reviewer who said that more command controls should be suported. But its still a 5-star game. Its intelligent and fun, and the one and ONLY physics-based game that didnt bore/frustrate the bejebus out of me. Highly recommended!

This game is simple and beautifully designed. Its fun for awhile but not something you could spend hours playing. Overall Osmos is a fun game but just a little over priced.

I loved playing this game on my friends iPad and was excited to play in on my computer. It downloaded really quickly but everytime I try to play Gamecenter pops up and wont sign in or when exited will pop right back up. What a waste of 10 bucks. I would like my money back or this bug fixed ASAP!

My girlfriend and I have been obsessively playing the multiplayer version of Osmos on our iPhones since that feature was released. When we saw it was available for our Macs and it included Game Center, we bought it right away. We were SO disappointed to realize that it merely reports achievements to Game Center and is NOT multiplayer. I love playing Osmos and feel its one of the best games in the app store. Sadly, Ive got to give it only 4 stars until it actually allows multiplayer play through the Game Center.

needs more levels

Great concept. Could use more levels, more features, more everything.

Doesnt have 10.8.2 support

I love this game, but after upgrading to Lion 10.8.2 and having the retina display, it doesnt work.

Work of Art!

This was the first game I played on our new iMac, and I was not disappointed. Splendid and beautiful game!

ChildrensWriter · 13 years ago

This is a great game and so unique in what it is about. I will say that some of the levels halfway in are kind of boring and too hard, so ive never gotten to a lot of probably interesting territory. The main point of this review is that the latest update diminished the graphics on my newish iMac - it is no longer entirely compatible. The game runs but a lot of the subtle details of the graphics are gone. The AMD Radeon HD 6970M video card has been checked as good, and I uninstalled and reinstalled the game. Too bad. It works fine on my laptop, and on my wifes iPad of course, but not on my big gorgeous 27 inch monitor.
