Cosmic Osmo (floppy version)

Cosmic Osmo was created by brothers Rand and Robyn Miller, who went on to form the company Cyan and develop the best-selling adventure game Myst. It was published in 1989 and won the 1990 Mac User award.

Cosmic Osmo has a style of gameplay similar to Cyan's previous game, The Manhole. There is no goal, no system of scoring points, and nothing that the player can keep in an inventory. A player can be said to have "finished" the game if they've explored every area and found every secret, but the game gives no feedback to indicate whether this has happened. Although this is unconventional, it allows finding new secrets to be a genuine surprise, while avoiding the frustration of endlessly searching the game for the last secret to achieve 100% completion.

In 2007, a new Cosmic Osmo game titled Cosmic Osmo's Hex Isle was released, based loosely on the original's setting but with a more traditional platform game style of gameplay.

This game is also available in CD version. See also Spelunx and the Caves of Mr. Seudo, available in black & white and in color, and The Manhole, also available in black & white and in color.
