Just tried the demo on Steam. Ingenious. A definite purchase for only £6.99. Any others given it a whirl and loved it?

About the Game

Enter the ambient world of Osmos: elegant, physics-based gameplay, dreamlike visuals, and a minimalist, electronic 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.

Key features:

*Independent Games Festival finalist in three categories: Seumas McNally Grand Prize, Excellence in Design and Technical Excellence
*Progress from serenely ambient levels into varied and more challenging worlds. (47 levels, plus bonus content)
*Confront attractors, repulsors and intelligent motes with similar abilities and goals as you
*Selected as one of the 2009 PAX 10
*Procedural content: play random versions of any level
*Sublime electronic soundtrack by Loscil, Gas/High Skies, Julien Neto, Biosphere, and more
*Dynamic time-warping: slow down the flow of time to outmaneuver agile opponents; speed it up to raise the challenge

From your description it sounds like fl0w, but I assume that it's a little more in depth for £6.99?

Downloading the demo.
 
I played the demo, and the alphas before the launch and loved them, so now I have the full version.

It's a very flOw-esque game, and is pretty relaxing. The music is pretty good too.
 
The game seems pretty good. I'm not sure how much different all of the levels can get, though.

It's the sort of game that once you've played one level you've played them all
 
Got the whole thing. Worth getting if you appreciate originality -- and are of the more -- ahem -- advanced years to quite appreciate more of a relaxing gaming experience once in a while ..

It's so relaxing. No crazy time limits. No flashing lights. Just chill out and click around at it! Anyone under the age of 18 -- you will hate this game completely -- move on!
 
£2.00 on steam now, purchased this last night.... For £6.99 i'm not sure but for £2 you have to have it really!
