Meaningful Name trope is when the name of characters are meaningful, so it's not the case.

* MeaningfulName: Well, kind of. The name Osmos is meant to be short for Osmosis, the natural flow of water from the areas of high liquid concentration to areas of low liquid concentration. However, the gameplay is the opposite, as larger cells fully absorb smaller ones. The only way [[GeniusBonus it makes sense]] is if the largest cells are also areas of high ''solute'' concentration, which would then make water flow towards them. Even then, though, the cells shouldn't be drained completely.

''Osmos'' is a PC/Mac/iOS/Android game released in 2009, a debut project of the Canadian developer [[http://www.hemispheregames.com/osmos/ Hemisphere Games]]. The gameplay somewhat resembles the VideoGame/KatamariDamacy games, with the player controlling a primordial cell amongst a group of similar beings, which will absorb everything smaller than them and be absorbed by larger motes in return. The player is not immune to being absorbed, but whereas the rest of the cells drift aimlessly, the player cell is allowed to propel itself through ejecting pieces of itself, though this makes the cell itself smaller. The goal is usually to absorb the largest or the most unique cell on the given level.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: It's possible to do this to yourself due to the way movement works. The only way to propel oneself is to eject small spheres of your cell in the direction opposite to where you’re intending to go. Thus, it’s possible to move too much and lose most of your mass, or even make a similar-sized cell nearby just large enough to be bigger than you.

!! This game provides examples of the following tropes:
* AssimilationBackfire: What happens if the target cell is larger than you are.
* DeadlyWalls: Usually touching the border is perfectly safe and you’ll just bounce off, but on some levels it’s lethal.
*DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: If you die, you restart the level almost instantly and since all levels are very short, it matters little.
* GravitySucks: Averted; there is a gradual, realistic rendition of how gravity works. Some levels have all cells including your own going in orbits around a central object, although you’re allowed to change orbits by expending mass. On certain levels, there is a very large attractor which you need to avoid until you’re big enough to deal with it. Some levels have the repulsor instead: you have to expend mass to counteract its push, yet expend too much and you’ll get too small and end up absorbed instead.
