Also store all my data back. Back then I was an ace and completed epicycles 1 and I got a tie all the 20 matches in multiplayer 6 zones ### 4/5 — Not asking for local network devices *2025-06-05* Some time ago I played with my friend via local network. After reinstalling the game to new ipad, i can’t do it anymore. No questions - no game :( ### 3/5 — The app has no access to local network in iOS. *2025-05-08, version 2.6.2* The app has no access to local network on iPhones. Therefore multiplayer works only on iPads. ### 5/5 — Fanstastisch *2025-03-24* Absolut tolles Spiel und das der Support nach weit über 10 Jahren nicht endet ist erstaunlich! Danke dafür! ### 5/5 — good physics *2025-02-01* I am going to make the canadian physics team. this has been a good confirmation that my work is not for nothing. ### 5/5 — Osmos *2025-01-11* Love it ! ### 5/5 — Beautiful and fun *2024-12-18* Physics are really realistic, problems are fun to solve. Definitely recommend, should be more popular ### 5/5 — Ich liebe dieses Spiel *2024-12-09* Damals schon geil & Heute immer noch geil! ### 5/5 — Einfach toll *2024-10-12* Jahre später das Spiel ist einfach beeindruckend ist einem fantastischen Soundtrack. Ich kann es immer noch Stunden lang spielen. ### 5/5 — Tolles Spiel *2024-09-21* Ich kenne das Spiel seit über 10 Jahren und es hat bisher immer Spaß gemacht und ist nebenbei auch ziemlich entspannend. :) ### 5/5 — All time favourite *2024-09-10* I played this years ago but can’t help but keep coming back to it. It’s just so perfect. ### 5/5 — 模拟星球引力的玩法很有意思 *2024-09-06, version 2.6.1* 初中玩过的游戏 这两天想起来了 下来补票 ### 5/5 — Super Relaxing *2024-06-03, version 2.6.1* Fun and relaxing, with a bit of challenge. Game sounds and looks amazing. Great ambient music ### 5/5 — I keep coming back to this game. *2024-06-02* Hands down one of the simplest yet complex games I’ve played. It’s my favorite for a flight and now that my sons are older I’m getting them into it. I find it educational, calming, and engaging. The game hides how cerebral it is with calming music and beautiful animations. Definitely in my top 5 mobile games of all time. ### 5/5 — Good one *2024-05-23, version 2.6.1* Just classic ### 5/5 — Beeindruckend *2024-05-20* Ich habe bisher nur wenige Level auf dem iPhone gespielt. Bin bereits begeistert von der Einfachheit der Idee und dem Reichtum an Spielvarianten die sich daraus ergeben. Die Grafik auf dem iPhone ist bestechend gut, die Steuerung einfach, so wie es sein soll. Ich bin überzeugt, das wird eines meiner Lieblingsspiele. ### 3/5 — Crashing *2024-04-16, version 2.6.1* Crashes on iPad Pro with the latest OS ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hard to play *2025-05-18, version 2.6.2* Too hard to control your Odmos. ### 1/5 — Pure Bloss *2025-01-19* float free of stress and just unwind remarkable and hypnotic ### 1/5 — No sound *2024-11-06, version 2.6.1* No sound or music? ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2023-07-25, version 2.5.0* Game just isn’t fun ### 1/5 — Impossibly boring and frustrating. *2022-04-13, version 2.4.4* Would literally rather not play anything than this. ### 1/5 — Needs to be bigger *2021-08-12, version 2.4.4* Not big enough for iPad as game does not full screen, only in a small box. ### 1/5 — Ngl *2021-05-12, version 2.4.4* terrible game ### 1/5 — Iphone 12 pro doesn‘t appear a menu after the round *2021-01-13* After finishing the round there is a text that you completed the level, but after that nothing happens. The text disappears and game keep on going. There has to be a menu appear to continue the game. Pls fix it **Developer response:** Apologies if it's confusing. Once you've completed a level, you can proceed to the next level via a two-finger tap. This is explained in the first few levels, but after that we leave the instructions out in an attempt to have a truly minimal UI / immersive game. Also fyi doing a three-finger tap brings up the pause menu. Does that help? ### 1/5 — Asks to much $ for what used to be included for free *2020-09-24, version 2.4.4* Music you now have to buy. Why sell a game promoting the music and then have the customer buy the music if they want to listen to feature that’s advertised in the game. ### 1/5 — Сняло деньги игра не загрузилась *2020-06-17, version 2.4.3* ! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Other Worldly *2026-04-18* Feels like I’m playing the physics of the universe. Both calming yet can be fast paced, all while keeping intuitive and interesting. This is the first game I played on my iPad -almost 15 years ago now. Still just as timeless. If you have an iPad I highly recommend you play this in a dark room on it. It takes you to another universe. ### 5/5 — Ну *2025-12-29* Где вторая часть? столько лет прошло. Вообще игра спасла меня от серьезных панических атак, когда абсолютно ничего не помогало. За это только купил бы игру три раза еще ### 5/5 — Odyssey Complete *2025-09-15* Many years ago I played this game on iPhone 4 and enjoyed it thoroughly. For its physics and its mesmerizing aesthetics. It was enjoyable to return to it perhaps 15 years later to discover that it is still an interesting mix between meditation, physics, biology, and musical periodicity. Odyssey now complete. ### 5/5 — Innovative *2025-08-31* The visuals in Osmos have a unique and special style. Everything about the gameplay design is perfect. It is a very fine-tuned type of experience in the world of games. If you intend to purchase Osmos for kids there is a chance that they might find it too slow (it is a slow-paced action/adventure game but not too slow). The music appears to be standalone electronic songs that were not created with the intention of being used in Osmos but the developers have somehow managed to choose music that does not feel out of place when compared to music that was composed specifically for a game. Very impressive ✅. ### 5/5 — Still a fantastic game after 15 years *2025-08-21, version 2.6.2* One of the oldest games I own, still phenomenal and still being updated ### 5/5 — Its backkkkk *2025-07-05* More than 10yrs since first play this game and now its back with new updates… This game is amazing and super immersive ### 5/5 — El mejor juego de relax *2025-05-13, version 2.6.2* Llevo años con el ### 5/5 — Osmos lover *2025-04-18* I love how nice the game looks and the music ### 5/5 — Phänomenal *2025-04-17* Ein Spiel ohne Haken. Es ist nach so langer Zeit immer noch ohne Zuzahlungen und Lootboxen spielbar. Der Support arbeitet auch noch! Einen außerordentlich, herzlichen Dank dafür. Besser geht es nicht. ### 5/5 — Best game made for iPhone / iPad *2025-03-26* This is the only game I come back to again and again, and have done since it was released. Superb. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
