This is mainly due to processor and GPU limitations some of those late levels (dozens of Feraxes for instance!) demand lots of resources, and we wanted to make sure Osmos ran smoothly on all iOS devices.

Unlike the PC game, the iOS versions don’t have an infinite amount of progressively-harder bonus content. This allowed us to smooth out the difficulty curve, and even throw in a few new level layouts. (8 level types, with 9 difficulties for each.) In addition, every level has been meticulously re-tweaked. There are 47 levels in the “main campaign” on PC, whereas there are 72 on iOS. (Levels are always randomized in Arcade mode, while they’re always the same in Odyssey.)
(So 72 levels total.) This allowed us to simplify the menus, give a more controlled and clean difficulty curve for new players in Odyssey mode, and provide lots of replayability in Arcade mode. Odyssey is a 27-level (linear) guided tour through the Osmos Blobiverse, while Arcade mode allows you to play any of the eight level types at your choice of nine difficulties. So, we split the game into two modes: Odyssey and Arcade. We also found people often missed out on the random level feature on PC, which is what makes the game so replayable. We loved the organic menu system on PC, but it just didn’t work on iPad: no mouse hover-over tips, less screen real-estate, etc. We weren’t 100% sure about this going into development, as Osmos seemed so perfectly suited to mouse, but the multitouch controls are really tight, and fun to use. That said, there are many differences and improvements in the iOS versions. The core Osmos concepts and gameplay are present in all verisons. Osmos for iPad is available on the App Store here, and Osmos for iPhone/iPod is available here. How do I pause the game, or escape from a level to the menu What kind of “Anonymous Stats” are you gathering? The three-finger tap to pause/exit isn’t working for me. I can hear the sound effects in Osmos (absorbing, death, etc.) but not the music. The music in Osmos is great and all, but how can I play my own music? I completed all the Arcade levels, but the yellow completion star isn’t appearing, and I didn’t get the achievement I tried to access the menu in Osmos, and then everything zoomed, even after exiting Osmos! I can’t play Game Center Multiplayer games because the view slides in and out.
#Osmos ipad update#
How can I tell which version of Osmos I’m running? Technical and PreferencesĪfter installing the 2.0/multiplayer update on my iPad, Osmos launches to a black screen.
I lost Osmos! (Reset device, etc.) How can I get it again without having to buy another copy? What are the differences between the iPad and the iPhone versions of Osmos? What are the differences between the PC and iOS versions of Osmos? Where can I buy the iOS versions of Osmos?
