Mark your calendar. I can confirm that Hemisphere Games are hard at work on bringing Osmos to the iPhone, and should be with us in around eight weeks or so.
It almost seems like the perfect game for the iPhone/ iPad.

The ideas was to write something that was a continuation from where Woob1194 left off, conveying a strong narrative throughout the piece was also important. Its probably worth saying that if you see the track through to the end you will be rewarded and is best enjoyed falling in and out of consciousness.
Blade Runner meets Voyager, Deckard meets Sagan; an interstellar soundtrack to NASA’s Voyager spacecraft. Subtle, deep, swirling electronics are entwined with narratives, sounds and recordings taken from Voyager’s golden record, building to the huge electronics of the title track. Six tracks of deep phased, electronic sounds of Earth.
Osmos has been updated with full multitouch for Windows 7.
Out now on Games for Windows Live.
Osmos looks great on a large plasma screen and will look even better on a large multitouch table.
