Osmos, the acclaimed cell-absorbing puzzle game, returns to Android! Previously removed due to compatibility issues that hindered updates, it's back with a completely revamped port from developer Hemisphere Games.

Remember the unique physics-based gameplay? Absorb microorganisms, but avoid becoming absorbed yourself! This award-winning puzzler, initially released in 2010, is now optimized for modern Android devices.

Hemisphere Games explained in a blog post that initial Android development relied on Apportable, a now-defunct porting studio.
