Description
"Why tell, when you can show? Why show, when they can do? Why just do, when they can play?"
Osy Osmosis is a fun game for all ages where you must help Osy stay safe as she navigates through her world collecting stars. Using your finger, tap in the direction you want Osy to move, but be careful, as you progress, more dangers will present themselves. To help Osy, you will use osmosis to keep her in balance with the world around her.
Osy was developed by a group of researchers, educators, and developers at the University of Georgia (UGA), with support from the National Institute of Health (NIH) Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA), The Georgia Research Alliance VentureLab, and UGA. IS3D LLC was formed by members of this group to design and develop future education simulations and games. All profits from Osy will go towards the creation of other educational games and interactive software.

Customer Reviews
nothing like Osmos, people be crazy
Don't know what the other reviewer's problem is. I've played Osmos, it's nothing like this game. Sure they both share the letters "osmos," in the title, but can you fault this game for being about the biological concept Osmosis? If anything, the developers are just being honest about the game's educational roots.
I think it's a great game. Simple, yet interesting in how it uses osmosis as a mechanic.
Imposter app
Marketed to look a lot like the well-known Osomos app. Terrible graphics in this game. Don't waste the money.
Cool Educational Game
This is a great game for introducing students to the process of osmosis. The game allows students to explore the idea without quizzing them over the concept. I found it very helpful as a precursor to discussing the process in class. I don't think I've ever seen my students care about osmosis until now.
