Oct. 2025

I've been playing this game every couple of years for ... decades, it seems? Short but lots of fun.

Sept. 2025

One of the all time greats. Relaxing music but gameplay can be challenging.

Sept. 2025

Aside from being a serene, (mostly) calming, and unique game, my main fascinations with Osmos is how much it can teach you about physics. You get an intuitive understanding of Newton's laws of motion, momentum, the first law of thermodynamics, gravity (to some extent) and orbital mechanics. All this (and probably more), despite its beautiful simplicity.

July 2025

Amazing game! Simple but smart. F4C3 is extremely brutal yet super rewarding.

July 2025

It's beautiful. Early levels are relaxing and then it becomes a fun but difficult puzzle.
