You're an Osmo, a strange creature indeed. You explore the galaxy in your spaceship, and the planets you encounter are almost as bizarre as the Osmos themselves. There are seven worlds presented for your consideration, each more goofy and peculiar than the last. Cosmic Osmo is a game about exploration and discovery, not winning or challenges.

Children and adults will both find something to enjoy in this early gem from the creators of Myst.

Really cool kids game focused entirely on exploration of strange worlds. As a fan of the B&W Mac look, I think the graphics have aged very well too

I LOVED this game when I was a child in the early 90s. We spent hours playing Cosmic Osmo and I was overjoyed when I saw I could re-live those moments and share them with my daughter. The game is a 90s-style exploration game with no real goal or ending. Just enjoy clicking around and watch crazy stuff happen. Cosmic Osmo puts real thought and effort into making a world that is as complete as it is devoid of all context. Everything seems to connect together in a way that can only make sense in whatever universe this game takes place in.

Cool game, I enjoyed looking for secrets. I just played The Manhole: Masterpiece Edition and now this game, both are awesome games to check out. I'm sure I'll be checking out Spelunx next.

Still entertains children so many years later. I remember fondly watching my late younger brother playing this game, and it does my heart good to watch my daughter do the same. Hearing her run to me begging me come to see what she found found (an ant tunnel full of ant babiesl) is priceless.

It's a non-story point and click adventure by Cyan Studios, who also made Manhole, Spelunx and later the Myst games. The art is simple, but effective, the gameplay is amusing, and it's very good for teaching young children (~3) mouse control. The absurdist comedy really hits home for the young folk, and the focus on cause and effect makes a lasting impression.

I'm definitely out of the target age bracket for this, but I can still appreciate it for what it is. The graphics were definitely a good idea as, even though they look dated, the black and white simplified style makes sure they still work perfectly and look decent on modern systems. Therefore, this is a great game for kids. It is a point-and-click adventure, but without the puzzles, inventory, or other higher-level things you are likely used to in such games. Rather, it's all about just clicking things to see what they do, with fun things like typewriters, painting easels, telephones, and other things included that you can click on and play with. For myself, the initial amusement faded rather quickly, as I want more out of a game, but I still recommend it for those that don't need more than that, because it is well made and would no doubt be entertaining for a long while for the right players. Really, it's more than worth it as a bonus game in the bundle.

Have this game on hand to entertain young relatives. Kids still love it in 2014. The creators went on after this to create MYST and Riven, and it's a sedate and calming wacky little exploration gem. I could be wrong about this but I believe this is one of the first games to ever ship on a CD-ROM, weighing in at something like 80mb of 1-bit content, plus the soundtrack.

Side note, it's baffling that it's been removed from the OSX offerings. It is clearly a port and not a bundled emulator pack. This should have the upside of eliminating legal issues with distributing apple macintosh ROM images, with the unpleasant side effect of creating an inauthentic experience to the original game. (Source for this is based on some of the crossfades having grayscale, which obv didn't exist on 68k macs from 1990 or whenever this came out.) No idea why it isn't available aside from windows.

To thoroughly enjoy this game you either need to be a child or maintain a sense of childlike discovery. There is no objective, no score, no gameover, no win conditions, no time limits. This isn't even really a game. Cosmic Osmo is a discovery experience that appeals to the humorous light hearted surreal nature of kids and those of us lucky enough to still be kids at heart.

It plays much like a point and click adventure game, but without inventory or really plotline, your only driving motivation is to see what you can find next. You are essentially an alien visitor to a very strange and exotic solar system, the home of the titular Cosmic Osmo. You can use a spacecraft to navigate between multiple planets or use a very complex series of tunnels, teleporters, and other surreal means of navigation to traverse around this highly entertaining landscape.

While the game certainly looks dated, the black and white cartoony style still maintains a lot of charm and is just as enjoyable today as it was in the early 90s when it was first released. A really fun game to play with your kids or by yourself, you'll be amazed that despite it's age this game contains a huge wealth of interesting and entertaining things to explore, ensuring that you'll discover something new each time you play.

More of a nostalgic memento of the multimedia wonders of the early cd-rom age than any kind of game, adventure or otherwise. Annoyingly slow boring and unresponsive.

As an extra included in the Cyan pack amogn far better games it at least is just that, just don't waste your time playing it unless you want to see waht was considered MULTIMEDIA MAGIC back in 1991.
