Enter the ambient world of Osmos: elegant, physics-based gameplay, dreamlike visuals, and a minimalist, electronic soundtrack.
Your objective is to grow by absorbing other motes. Propel yourself by ejecting matter behind you. But be wise: ejecting matter also shrinks you. Relax - good things come to those who wait.
Key features:
- Independent Games Festival finalist in three categories: Seumas McNally Grand Prize, Excellence in Design and Technical Excellence
- Progress from serenely ambient levels into varied and more challenging worlds. (47 levels, plus bonus content)
- Confront attractors, repulsors and intelligent motes with similar abilities and goals as you
- Selected as one of the 2009 PAX 10
- Procedural content: play random versions of any level
- Sublime electronic soundtrack by Loscil, Gas/High Skies, Julien Neto, Biosphere, and more
- Dynamic time-warping: slow down the flow of time to outmaneuver agile opponents; speed it up to raise the challenge
Dear Motes,
We're running a video contest, along with Andrew Vanden Heuvel (an online physics & astronomy teacher with the Michigan Virtual School), calling for students and gamers alike to create videos demonstrating physics principles via Osmos.
First prize is a $500 Amazon gift certificate, and there will be a few runner-up prizes as well. We're pretty excited about helping to encourage education via gaming, and hope you'll participate!

More info on "the story" behind the contest here: http://www.hemispheregames.com/2011/11/18/physics-of-osmos-video-contest/
Cheers and good luck to all! :)
