Dear Motes,

As the subject says, we're putting Osmos on sale (on all App Stores: Mac, iPad and iPhone) for 99 cents for one day: Thursday, March 17th. FYI, This is definitely the lowest we’ve ever priced Osmos on iPad (Apple's pick for GotY) or Mac!

That's it! For some extra flavour - and for those who love axes and orbits - check out our blog and this <ahem> lovely accompanying Osmos-style, seasonal diagram: http://www.hemispheregames.com/2011/03/15/one-day-99¢-equinox-sale/

Thanks, and as always feel free to get in touch if you have any questions... - Eddy on behalf of the Hemi-team

Hemisphere Games Announcements -- Osmos for Linux is ready, iPhone/iPad versions hot on its heels...

2010-04-28T00:10:08Z

Dear Motes,

If you had asked us two months ago - or even one month ago - if the Linux port of Osmos would come out before the sexy new iPhone or iPad versions (more info on that soon, promise!), we would have said "Not a chance."

We would have been wrong. ;-)

So... we're excited to announce that the Linux version of Osmos is now available!

For all the details, including the demo, upcoming sales statistics and post-mortem, read our blog post: http://www.hemispheregames.com/2010/04/28/linux-osmos-release/

Thanks for your support.

Sincerely,
The Hemi-Team

[press release:

Indie award winner, Osmos, now available on Mac

Canada (December 11, 2009) - Hemisphere Games today announced the release of the Mac version of their award-winning indie hit - Osmos. A Seumus McNally Grand Prize Nominee at the 2009 GDC Indepedent Games Festival, selected as a PAX 10 finalist, winner of two IndieCade awards including "Best in Show", and winner of the D2D Vision Award, OSMOS for Mac is now available from Hemisphere Games' website ( http://www.hemispheregames.com/osmos/), Direct2Drive, and Macgamestore for only $10.

Enter the elegant, dream-like world that IGN called, �a beautiful, absorbing experience� brilliant to look at� the best videogame music I�ve heard� will make you forget your cares and immerse you in the game� you�ll find yourself returning for the experience.�

OSMOS features unique, physics-based gameplay. Propel yourself by releasing matter to move; grow by absorbing other motes that are smaller than yours. But be careful! Your own mote shrinks as you propel yourself. Confront attractors, repulsors and intelligent motes that have similar abilities and goals as you.

Progress from serenely ambient levels into varied and more challenging worlds. Enjoy the beautiful visuals and a minimalist, electronic soundtrack featuring the sounds of Loscil, Gas/High Skies, Julien Neto, Biosphere and more.

Additional Information:

47 levels, plus unlockable bonus content: New challenges await with level types, mote types, achievements, puzzles and more.
Procedural generation: play random versions of any level.
Osmos is 100-percent DRM and region free.
Buying directly from Hemisphere Games entitles you to both the PC and Mac versions of the game, as well as Linux when it becomes available.

Osmos "Alpha" Demo

2009-04-02T21:40:43Z

The first publicly available version of Osmos has been released!

It's an "alpha" demo; and you can download it from http://www.hemispheregames.com/osmos

Enjoy, and let us know if you have any comments. We'd love to hear from you.

Cheers,
the Hemi-folk

ps. Ok, so the alpha demo has been available for months now. But we did just create this shmancy new mailing list, and this is the kind of thing we'd be announcing with it. Just so ya know. Besides, the mailing list archive was looking so lonely without at least one message resting there.
