Our “official” minimum requirements for the port are:
Mac OS X 10.4 or newer, Intel and [...]

Dear Motes,
It has been an unbelievable year. The amount of recognition Osmos has received over the past six months is blowing our minds. Here’s the latest: Osmos has been nominated for “best independent game” in Spike’s annual video game awards, alongside ThatGameCompany’s Flower, Twisted Pixel’s ‘Splosion Man, and RedLynx’s Trials HD. Incredible. It is truly [...]

The wait is nearly over for all you Mac users. (And there are a lot of you…) Aaron just handed us the first version of Osmos for Mac, and it is sweet, buttery smooth, and oh so tasty.
We still need to beta test of course, but that shouldn’t take more than a couple of weeks. [...]

In previous years it piggybacked on top of a few other shows, including Siggraph and E3; but this was IndieCade’s first ever standalone festival. And what an amazing time it was. The location, a beautiful pocket around a hotel in Culver City, was warm and [...]

We just want to take a moment to thank everyone who’s gotten (and hopefully enjoyed!) the game, and in particular those who have helped spread the word — by mouth, email and blogs. We really appreciate [...]

4.8/5 - “I believe I’ve run out of adjectives to describe this game. From start to end, it is a fluid mass of gaming goodness… I can say nothing better than go, go now and purchase this game. I think you’ll find [...]

We just watched the latest episode of Bytejacker and are stoked.
These guys have been producing top-notch coverage and reviews on independant games for some time now, and they just gave Osmos the full treatment. Awesome. With their combination of video footage and voice-over, they’ve captured and presented the essence of Osmos amazingly well.
Head on over [...]
