These levels are my favorite as the “enemy mote" (if you’d even call it that) is also trying to absorb anything smaller than it to get bigger than you to munch your mote up.
Initially levels simply ask you to be the biggest, but it doesn’t take long until Osmos throws other level types at you such as levels where everything is orbiting around a central mass and you must carefully expel your own mass to change your orbit to absorb other motes as well as levels that require you to capture a specific mote. This gameplay mechanic works extremely well on the iPad, and is expertly paired with some fantastic mellow electronica that does a great job of setting the mood of the game. You can also zoom in or out using a pinching gesture. Your mote can absorb any mote that it smaller than it, but it also can be absorbed by any mote that is larger than it. With each tap you lose a little bit of your mass, so it doesn’t take long before you’re making extremely calculated taps to get exactly where you want to go with minimal loss of size. By tapping in a direction, you expel mass towards where you tapped, and your mote goes zooming off the other direction. You control a tiny organism called a “mote". Osmos has a wide variety of different level types, which all revolve around one common theme: Be the biggest.
To get players up to speed on the iPad, Osmos includes “Odyssey mode" which is a 27 level tutorial of sorts which will walk you through everything there is to know about the game. I’m happy to report that my suspicions were correct, and Osmos for iPad is a fantastic fit for the device. In fact, if you want to see just how much the gaming media loves Osmos, take a peek at their web site where they’ve got links to a ridiculous amount of reviews with all of them near the top of the scale each media outlet used.Īs I mentioned when we first heard about the game coming to the iPad, it didn’t take much more than a few seconds of playing the game on my computer to realize just how well it could work on the iPad.

Osmos was originally released in late August of 2009 for the PC, and went on to win numerous Editor’s Choice awards as it was initially reviewed, then was awarded further at both the Independent Games Festival, PAX, and even the Spike TV 2009 Video Game Awards.
