Osmos Priced at $10
Along with the above trailer, Hemisphere Games today announced that their IGF-award winning Osmos will cost you $10.
Coming on August 18th, there are also some very interesting deals going for those who pre-order the title. Steam will be doing their customary discount for those who pre-order (expect 10-20% off), but Direct2Drive's deal is the one to check out - everyone who pre-orders the game through their site 'will receive a coupon to gift Osmos to a friend for $1'. That's two copies for $11! Pretty fantastic deal, if you ask me.
Pre-order the game via D2D right now - expect it to appear on Steam sometime very soon. IGN also have an interview with Hemisphere Games regarding their game.

I guess I'm out of the loop, I hadn't heard a thing about this. Looks really, really fun though!

inspired from jenova chen's flow...

so what's the difference between this and Flow apart from the 10 dollars?

So is this a Flow rip-off? Looks identical, though I doubt something so blatant would win a bunch of awards. I second the above in asking how is this different?

From what I've played it's quite a bit different. In my time playing Osmos I found that it's a much more strategic game. When playing flow I grew bored of it very fast. However Osmos offers quite a nice challenge while keeping that same ambient feeling as flow. I think that it's well worth the $10 for the full package.
