4 Player Multiplayer?

I think 4 player multiplayer would be absolutely fantastic for Osmos on iOS. So many times I am sitting with friends and am only able to play one of them at a time!

The Impasse arena would be incredibly fun with 4 players all racing to absorb the other, and maybe even bigger maps to accommodate more players.

Was this ever a discussion among the developers or have they abandoned this game?

Agreed, kenarab! I think it would be a lot of fun as well.

We considered it, but given the popularity of multiplayer Osmos (a great core following, but often there are long waits to get matches) it seems "ambitious" to be shooting for 4-player games. It would also require significant tech work on our part (I should write several blog posts about the tech required to get Osmos to work in network play!), which we aren't keen to take on given the limited use it'd see.

Thanks for the suggestion though! Always nice to hear feedback from folks enjoying multiplayer. :)
