Hi danw13335 -- our beta testers also found that Osmos runs on Macs under VMware Fusion or Parallels; perhaps you can try one of these?

Great list jojo, and thanks for your support! Yeah, we've definitely thought about the best places to see Osmos, and now that Osmos has released and is breaking out into the world, we're definitely looking forward to see what the future of Osmos will look like for other platforms. Stay tuned... ;) H...

Happy Osmoting,

These motes would tend to encounter one another and absorb each other, resulting in a small number of larger motes that ...

Thing is, having walls adds interesting gameplay to the game; for example, chasing AI opponents is more fun when you can ...

Thanks for the glowing feedback Renboy -- really glad to hear you've been enjoying the game :D A level editor, Importing levels, and scoring/stats/leaderboards... we've thought about 'em all in great length, but given coding manpower available (ie two dudes), we just didn't have the time to get ever...
