"Physics of Osmos" Video Contest!
I should start by saying that Osmos is the most rewarding project I’ve ever worked on: it’s received tons of love and wonderful feedback from fans and reviewers alike, has won a bunch of amazing awards, over a million people have played it, and it’s been a pleasure in and of itself to create. But, […]
One-day 99¢ Equinox Sale!
Spring equinox is in the air, dear motes, and you know what that means! Well… technically, it means the center of the Sun will lie in the same plane as the Earth’s equator. But to put it in context with our daily lives: night and day will be nearly the same length everywhere on the […]
Reviews from the Far Side
We recently posted about a bunch of year-end accolades Osmos has received. (Sometimes you just have to toot your own horn I guess. Toot toot!) But some of the articles we’ve come across are… different: philosophical, scientific, amusing… Here’s a selection of a few of our recent favorites: “Think Like a Bacterium: Osmos, Naïve Quorum […]
iOS Wallpapers + Ringtone
For those of you that missed it, we “bundled” the iPhone version of Osmos with 5 other indie devs’ games during the holidays to raise money for charity. The result: together we raised $35,134.78 for Child’s Play! Needless to say we’re really pleased with this. During the sale, we put together some free shwag to […]
End-of-Year Awards & Voting
A year ago, if someone had told us 2010 would be a “bigger” year for us and Osmos than 2009, we wouldn’t have believed them. Little did we know that the iOS version of Osmos would be such a success! Sure, we felt we had an amazing version of the game in our hands prior […]

Here’s the scoop: There are six games in the “bundle”, although each are sold separately on the App Store: Osmos, Canabalt, Eliss, Drop7, Solipskier and Spider. […]
The Russian
Release day. A certain jubilant excitement was in the room. After months of work, we were finally submitting the iPad version of Osmos to the App Store! After a few short simple steps, the room would be filled with high-fives and the sound of caps being removed from bottles. We filled in the App Store […]
Why we haven’t ported Osmos to Android
[edit: Osmos has finally been ported to Android! You can get it here.] A lot of people have been asking us if and when we’ll bring Osmos to Android. After all, we’ve already ported it to iOS and Linux, so it should be a no-brainer, right? Well… unfortunately not. We’d like to, but after having […]
