The 1994 rerelease of Osmo added a Spelunx-like science complex, making both games each other's Spiritual Successor.ĭespite Osmo's fanbase on the Apple Macintosh, where it remained an exclusive until 2008, it can now be found on Steam. The Millers' next open-ended HyperCard game, 1991's Spelunx, took a far more educational tone. No matter where you end up, the Osmobile's autopilot will have it waiting for you in orbit. Your conveyance is a cozy two-room spaceship called the Osmobile, but you can also slip between worlds through a vast network of shortcuts.

The setting is the Osmoian system, home of the quirky, amiable Osmos: aliens with huge feet and round, honkable noses. There is no ending and no score, and only the mildest of optional puzzles. Like its Spiritual Predecessor The Manhole, where Osmo had a brief cameo, Osmo lets you traipse undirected through a quirky universe packed with Easter Eggs, but this time IN SPACE. Cosmic Osmo is a 1989 Pop Up Video Game created by Rand and Robyn Miller of Cyan, Inc.
