Osmos Makes Triumphant Return to Google Play

Osmos, the acclaimed cell-absorbing puzzle game, is back on Android! Previously removed due to compatibility issues that hindered updates, it's now been relaunched by developer Hemisphere Games with a completely revamped port.

For years, Android users were unable to enjoy this award-winning puzzler, but now, a brand-new, modern Android port is available on Google Play.
