Mac Osmos Release

Posted by on Dec 10, 2009 in Osmos | 9 Comments

We’re excited to announce that the Mac version of Osmos is now available! Our Mac-guru (and fine backcountry skiier), Mr Aaron Barsky has done a bang-up job on the port, and it’s been running smoothly on a wide variety of machines.

Osmos on Mac

Our “official” minimum requirements for the port are:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 or newer, Intel and PowerPC
  • Processor: 1.0 GHz
  • Memory: 512 MB RAM

As always, the best Osmos experience is to play with a 3-button mouse, but we’ve made sure it plays well with just a trackpad and keyboard for all the Macbook users out there. (Check the in-game control menu for details.) So, head on over to the Osmos page and get your Mac Osmos on.

Oh, and remember, for those of you who have purchased the PC version from Hemisphere, the Mac version is already yours — just follow the link in your original purchase email. (We’ll send you all a new one in the next day or two in case you’ve lost it.) And for new players, we’re still offering our $10-deal for both the PC and Mac versions together. Enjoy! :)

    Great news, but what if we bought Osmos from steam and didn’t get the email download link?

    Hey Paul,

    Sorry, but that deal only applies to people who purchased from Hemisphere. (http://www.hemispheregames.com/faq/#buy_distrib)

    Of course… it’s still only $10. ;-)

    Cheers,
    Eddy

    Wow that’s really a bummer. I’ve been waiting for the Mac port and the only reason I discovered Osmos was because of Steam.

    Good performance on sub-500 MHz Macs, even in 1920*1200 resolution, if the config has a decent GPU rather than the ancient crappola those Macs originally came with.

    A Big Thanks to everyone involved in the game and its Mac port, a must buy it is! Looking for the screensaver version as well.

    I fall asleep waiting for it to get to the game start up page. At the instant it starts up it uses 99% CPU and, after 30 seconds or so, the fans are already up at 6000 RPM and that’s before I’ve even started playing it!

    A lovely game but those three things make it unusable for me. Macbook pro. 2.6 GHx Intel Core 2 Duo. 4 GB SDRAM.

    So…i installed it….but it keeps starting up from the very beginning every time i start it? That sucks. Not a very friendly app. I don’t have the patience for this. I’ve only the time for one or two levels…and so I’ll never see more than that unless I take a day off! I’ve reinstalled it twice…and it’s still starting from the very beginning. You’d think you could maneuver around a bit better….
