Osmos, the acclaimed cell-absorbing puzzle game, returns to Android! Previously removed due to playability issues stemming from outdated porting technology, it's back with a completely revamped version.

Remember the unique physics-based gameplay? Absorb microorganisms, avoid being absorbed – simple yet captivating. This award-winning puzzler, originally released in 2010, is now available on Google Play with a brand-new, modern Android port. Experience the micro-organic battle royale like never before.

Developer Hemisphere Games explains that initial Android development relied on Apportable, a now-defunct porting studio, hindering further updates. The game's removal was necessary due to incompatibility with current Android systems (it only ran on obsolete 32-bit systems). This new release features a completely rebuilt port, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience.

A Cellular Masterpiece
