So very stubbly.
This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Osmos is the award winning 47-level quest of a cell trying to outlast its comrades, featuring a soothing soundtrack. It's also been ported to almost everything that is click- or touch-based.

Unused Graphics

OsmosiOS lock.png

Inside the Textures folder of the game is lock.tga; a grey lock, unsurprisingly. The game uses this exact sprite albeit embedded in a round space background for displaying the locked stages.

Development Text

Keyboard Bindings

On the root of the iOS app is bindings.cfg, which has hotkeys for playing the game on a computer. It's included in the PC versions and its contents are slightly different, but it's still not used either way.

Readme

README.txt, also on the root of the app, are the release notes/changelog for version 2.7.5 of the OpenFeint scoring system.

Revisional Differences

The game was given a few cosmetic changes when ported to touchscreen devices.

Startup Screens

The game boots up with an ESRB logo with a rating of E for Everyone on the PC version; this is missing in the iOS port.

Additionally, Hemisphere Games' logo is rendered in-game in the PC version, whereas the iOS one displays it as a static, standalone picture after selecting the app.
