Hi Vieve!

Glad to hear folks would be interested in this kind of thing. If only it were possible...
We've been experimenting with internet video streaming for Osmos, although no firm timeframe yet.

Will keep you posted! :D

Ask and you shall receive!

Unfortunately I was playing someone of a lower skill level so it's not very exciting to watch. Plus as a result I was being pretty lazy and therefore not very cautious. Overall though my forward planning isn't that good in the Impasse levels.

I will try to find someone of a similar skill level and post up some more vids. Hopefully Solar because it's fantastic to play and watch.

Anti-impasse is a lot more fun to play than regular Impasse too. It's possible to come back from behind and win even if you're much smaller than your opponent.

Sadly it's only about 1-in-30 connections I find someone of the same skill level as me. I would by no means would consider myself an expert. There is one player (can't remember the name) I played recently who absolutely destroyed me. Just deadly accurate, extremely fast, and really amazing pre-planning. Easily the best I've seen.

I do wonder if I'm missing out on a lot of competition living in Australia. I guess the server will only naturally pair people up if the latency is low enough. Maybe the Hemisphere guys could chime in on this? Although I do remember playing them no problems at one point or another.

Hey everyone, here is another video.
http://youtu.be/fylzC4NbJCA

Solar this time. I got my butt absolutely kicked by Kuiper Belch. Hilarious name! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuiper_belt

Unfortunately it's difficult to see the strategy his/her gameplay as the screen is of course centered on my mote. So a lot of the video is of few games where I was triumphant.

Of all the levels, Solar is the trickiest on the small iPhone screen as you have to instantly pre-plan your route. Doing that can be really hard when you're zoomed in and very tiny at the start.

There's a cool bit at the end too (playing a different opponent) where I accidentally got absorbed by a red mote, which then went on to absorb the attractor.

I hope we can see how many players are currently playing, join in to see their games and start playing if one of the player leaves. Just like Yahoo games.

Thanks everyone that posted videos. I've commented and liked them. Also curious to know what tablet mode looks like as even though the nexus 7 (2013) has full HD it doesn't get tablet mode support.

This isn't expert play by any means (seems I've rusted quite a bit) but it is a record of it. See https://youtu.be/uYRvUm7ErP8

I'm keen to get my practice up again. Whose in?
