I wish I could download a version from 5years ago haha ### 2/5 — Used to be great before the update. *2019-07-13, version 2.0* I played this game several years ago and recently returned to find the have completely changed it.. unfortunately for the worse. ### 2/5 — Timer sucks *2018-12-19, version 2.0* Read the title ### 3/5 — Was Good... *2018-04-06, version 2.0* Crashes on Launch with iPhone X ### 3/5 — This was so great... *2017-12-28, version 2.0* I used to be addicted to this game but then this strange update game and it doesn’t make any sense. There’s now credits and ads and...what? Now it’s not all bad. I like that there’s an editor though that needs work. Basically, it’s just too glitchy now. ### 4/5 — Good app *2017-12-13, version 2.0* I saw you just updated it 3 minutes ago even though I haven’t played this in years how weird. The OG germs was the best btw ### 4/5 — Takes A Little Getting Used To But ... *2017-09-21, version 2.0* Once this gets you? It’s got you by the balls ... of your feet! You’ll get used to it quickly if you try it because while it’s a highly complex game underneath it all, gameplay itself is super simple. Example - You’re a little blue blob (think germs) and while you can attach to other blobs blue blobs and grow, if you touch the red blobs they’ll swallow you up. I gave it 4 out of 5 because ... a). sometimes when I’d eat another blob it seemed to favor the game rather than me. At least that’s what ‘me’ told ‘myself’ but they might’ve been biased AND b). definitely needs to have a Zen Mode so people can rip a few, put on their tunes and eat other blobs. how chill would that be? icy! I know you need to make some $$, but as I told the guys at Snowman (they made a little game named Altos Adventure?) ‘if you Zen it, the big dough will still flow’! And did it $$ ever! You wanna know how I knew?? Because I've been an iPhone owner since Day One of iPhone One and I own over 4000 Apps! AND c). where the heck is GLOOP? I know if you updated this you’re gonna update GLOOP. Oh boy, but if you make GLOOP without a Zen Mode?? Oh we’re gonna have problems. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (IF YOUR SMARTER THAN A SPOONFUL OF PEANUT BUTTER)!! ### 3/5 — Impressed *2014-09-20, version 1.6* I am berry impressed city Thierry variety of difficulties or else I would rate it a 2 ⭐️ The higher levels are too hard and the easy levels are to easy so it is great that they gave such a range. ### 4/5 — Fun *2013-08-03, version 1.6* Easy to use and hard to master great for small amounts of intertainment! ### 4/5 — Not that hard people *2013-01-15, version 1.6* It's not that hard to beat, however the sensitivity while be adjustable so it doesn't go flying when you touch the screen, however, I've beaten this game countless of times. ### 1/5 — Stupidest app ever *2012-11-08, version 1.6* Pointless game with no probable chance to win, the game just happens and you have little effect on it... ### 1/5 — Fixed *2012-11-05, version 1.6* Load of rubbish ### 2/5 — Not worth the time *2012-10-20, version 1.6* Stupid cant play it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Agree with other review - Old game >> New *2022-10-20, version 2.0* Bring back the old one please. ### 1/5 — Such a shame *2020-04-26, version 2.0* Used to be such a simple, enjoyable game. Now it’s a mish mash of dodgy textures and annoying gameplay. ### 1/5 — Way worse than it used to be *2019-12-23, version 2.0* My complaints are exactly the same as everyone else’s. This game was so much better before the updates. With all the reviews saying they miss the old version, why not bring it back? ### 1/5 — 2.0- no thank you *2018-03-04, version 2.0* This was one of my go to games until the new update- it was such a simple and elegant game... Please bring back v1 ### 1/5 — Bring back the old version *2017-10-04, version 2.0* Since the update, it is an entirely different game ### 1/5 — What is this *2017-09-01, version 2.0* I really hate this new layout and everything, some points I can't even move my cell. Don't know why he just won't move. ### 1/5 — Don't like at all *2017-08-31, version 2.0* I really don't like how the game is now I used to play it all the time until this update changed everything ### 1/5 — Terrible rubbish stupid! *2013-04-18, version 1.6* Don't get the full version please it is just like this: You get the menu up in your face and you press start or it shows you how to do it I wanted to just read the instructions and I just started the game and I only went past a red one and I didn't touch it at all and it took me out of the game! SORT IT OUT! =-( ### 1/5 — Doesn't work properly *2013-02-16, version 1.6* I haven't played it in a couple years. I remember it use to work but now its glitchy and doesn't function properly. ### 1/5 — Boring *2012-11-17, version 1.6* This game is rubbish and strange and boring I hate it! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love This *2020-04-22, version 2.0* This app is extremely fun why? Because it’s simple no unicorn world, no Kim kardashian paradise resort whatever it is. The only minor thing that I think you can improve on is your game because it is pretty minor. Overall great fun. ### 5/5 — HEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!! *2015-10-09, version 1.6* HELP! I CANT STOPPPPPPP PLAUING THID GAME! ### 5/5 — Quick addicting game *2015-08-15, version 1.6* Great game, fast and addicting.

It's worth the download! ### 5/5 — Very good game :) *2013-02-23, version 1.6* This game is easy, fun, and addicting to me. When I get bored I play this game.

And by the way, all those people talking about the Osmos thing, it's not copying that game, because YOU CAN'T COPY A GENRE. One question: Why havn't they implemented this gloppy physics into bloody online shooters? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
