Is the game outdated for this M4 iPad? Please reply. ### 3/5 — I really like this game but… *2024-09-30, version 2.6.1* I purchased this year’s ago and was wanting to revisit this great game to play it on a bigger screen M1 Mac. iOS apps should work negatively on M1 macs providing the developer hasn’t decided to specifically make it incompatible. This is exactly what this developer has decided to do presumably to try and get another app purchase for the Mac version. This app deserves five stars but because of this petty nickel and diming you only get 3. I’m getting tired of app developers disrespecting their customers by forcing incompatibility for what they’ve already paid for. ### 3/5 — Used to love it *2024-05-23, version 2.6.1* It’s a fun game, but unfortunately the sound no longer works. The music is a big part of this game so without it it’s kind of useless ### 4/5 — Schön, aber kann auch stressig sein *2024-05-21* Man mus manchmal ganz schön Tempo aufbauen, um ein Level zu gewinnen. ### 5/5 — 拔錯（不錯 *2023-07-16, version 2.5.0* 就是偶爾會跑過頭 不過沒有次數限制 ### 5/5 — My go-to chill game *2023-07-10, version 2.5.0* If you want a game to help you chill (while being a challenge), this is the one. And the soundtrack (top-notch ambient) is part of the reason. On ALL the other games I have, I turn off the music and sound after about 5 seconds. On this game, sometimes I start it up just so I can hear the music. ### 5/5 — One of the best multiplayer game on iOS *2023-07-06* The new update is awesome thanks so much! ### 5/5 — Hypnotic and addictive *2023-06-24, version 2.5.0* I can’t count the hours I’ve spent with Osmos! I have been wishing for years that they’d come out with a sequel. ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-05-09, version 2.5.0* Four stars when I bought it, now raised to five just for releasing updates. Ten years and no subscriptions in sight! ❤️ ### 5/5 — Still one of the best games of all time *2023-04-16, version 2.4.4* It’s old and largely the same as it was upon its creation but it’s still better than 99% of games out there. It’s beautiful and compelling. ### 5/5 — Satisfied *2023-03-21, version 2.4.4* Great game no adds fun strategy ### 5/5 — Subtle, clever and relaxing *2023-03-16, version 2.4.4* This is definitely the most enjoyable orbital mechanics game that I’ve seen. It’s beautiful, fast, stable and fun. I would thoroughly recommend it. ### 5/5 — I found this game years ago….it’s still fun! *2023-03-15, version 2.4.4* It’s very relaxed and also challenging. Lots of fun and I’m excited to try out multiplayer mode. ### 5/5 — Relajante y entretenido *2022-12-15, version 2.4.4* Muy entretenido y relajarte, una experiencia para el oído no le doy más estrellas por que no se puede 👌 ### 5/5 — Still loving Osmos after 10+ years *2022-12-06, version 2.4.4* This was one of the first games I ever had for my iPad. It is challenging and relaxing at the same time. Still have not finished all of the levels but it doesn’t matter. I keep going back to play it again. Osmos is still my favorite! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No sound *2024-11-10, version 2.6.1* For quite some time now, I have not had sound in the game. Headphones, no headphones, delete and reinstall and yet no sound. I used to enjoy this game too, sad to see the lack of support now. ### 1/5 — Sorry, für mich Schrott! *2023-12-12* Da hilft auch nicht das schöne Design, wenn ich kein Level durch die schwierige Steuerung auf dem i-Pad schaffe. Somit verabschiede ich mich!!! ### 1/5 — Multiplayer is pain *2023-10-05, version 2.5.0* Ranking system sucks. It matches inexperienced player with ultimate professionals. This game was fun in old times but not anymore. ### 1/5 — Disappeared from my purchased apps *2023-03-31, version 2.4.4* I’m more than a little disappointed that I had to repurchase this game after already paying for it once years ago. Bit dodgy if you ask me. ### 1/5 — I don’t understand. *2023-03-31, version 2.4.4* Not relaxing. Not working. Poor instructions! Ugh! ### 1/5 — No music *2022-03-25, version 2.4.4* No sound on iPad Pro with iOS 15.4 :( Something is broken with this game ### 1/5 — Pagar dos veces por lo mismo *2021-04-24, version 2.4.4* Increíble que pagues 6€ por una app que no puedas usar en el iPhone, y quieran que pagues dos veces. Muy ruin. ### 1/5 — So, so , so boring. *2020-12-28, version 2.4.4* Chasing orbs around a central orb. That’s it!!! ### 1/5 — Boring af! *2020-12-28, version 2.4.4* It makes me wanna pull my hair and jump out the window...ah so boring 🤯 ### 1/5 — Too hard. *2020-03-05, version 2.4.3* This is too hard, and a waste of money. I thought I was purchasing something like Art of Gravity. Not so. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — *title* *2026-02-08, version 2.6.3* I got this game in 2021 and still haven’t completed precision 4-8. Very hard game. ### 5/5 — Entspannung pur *2025-01-22* Gameplay toll, Soundtrack toll. Wer ein zugleich forderndes als auch entspannendes Game sucht, findet hier ein Spiel mit Suchtpotential. ### 5/5 — Timeless *2024-12-25, version 2.6.1* One of the first apps I downloaded for my iPad years ago….and one I keep coming back to. So well-designed, challenging but relaxing at same time. Hall of fame for me! ### 5/5 — Das ist, das Spiel! *2024-12-07* Ein Spiel für Jung & Alt, was nicht aufregend ist, sondern beruhigt! ### 5/5 — Good 5 stars must buy!! *2024-12-05, version 2.6.1* Add more levels or maybe a new mode named split where you split your cell or shoot out matter from the cell and tentacles too relaxing fun multiplayer too! ### 5/5 — Лучшая игра *2024-10-02* Игра для умных) ### 5/5 — 10-year replay, still amazing *2024-07-18* I’d basically recommend this to everyone ### 5/5 — Sandbox? *2024-06-20, version 2.6.1* I’ve been playing this game for some time and it has been amazing! Though I couldn’t help but wonder if it would be possible to introduce a sandbox option so players could create their own levels after the base game is completed or if there is no one online on multiplayer. Imagine if there was an option to import sentient motes in a solar level :0 Anyway I love the game and I hope for future updates! ### 5/5 — Playing for at least 8 years . *2024-05-06, version 2.6.1* I love this game , it’s relaxing .. where did all the good players go ? ### 5/5 — Красива и успокояваща *2023-09-11, version 2.5.0* Прекрасен начин за успокоение на сетивата --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
