Osmos

Official Website

Description:
"Enter the ambient world of Osmos. Experience elegant, physics-based gameplay, dreamlike visuals, and a minimalist, electro-acoustic soundtrack.Your objective is to grow by absorbing other motes. Propel yourself by ejecting matter behind you. But be wise: ejecting matter also shrinks you. Relax... good things come to those who wait."

What we say:
It's an intentionally slow game that really rewards players that continue playing. You play a star, and your job is to eat other smaller stars. As celestial bodies bounce around, other stars also collide into each other -- becoming threats to your existence. It's incredibly satisfying to become the largest object in the galaxy, and it's terrifying when you see a small cluster of stars grow into a massive behemoth that can easily swallow you whole. You should definitely download the demo (PC only).
