buy direct 3 for 1 offer

I appreciate the offer of buying direct and getting the Windows/Mac/Linux versions all for the same price. However, the reality is that most people are only using one OS. The real motivator would be if you could pay you $10 directly and get one computer and one mobile version (e.g. Windows + Android) so you can play it at home and on-the-go. Any chance of this?

Hi bmn,

Well, Apple's mobile security is tight, and there's no (legal) way for us to directly distribute Osmos on iOS. The only route there is the App Store.

Android is more open, but most people still prefer to get their apps via Google Play (or via Amazon on Kindles, etc.) since they get auto-updates, a little extra "security", etc.

All that said, there were additional people involved in the iOS and Android ports. They get a cut of sales on those stores whereas they don't get a cut for sales of the PC version; so to keep things clean and fair we're sticking with what most developers do, and have kept mobile versions off our site.

Thanks for understanding!
