Oh, very nice :) Even higher-res than what I found. Thanks! Didn't expect someone at ETH Zurich to host these wallpapers. I like this version without the spaceship a bit more.

It’s a screenshot from Cosmic Osmo and the Worlds Beyond the Mackerel.

Yeah, thanks! Found the name of the game at around the same time you answered me, and was able to access the actual screenshot with Web Archive. The original includes a small spaceship which is missing on the KolibriOS version.

If you like the art you should try and play Cosmic Osmo! It was my favorite game to play on the Performa PowerPC macs my elementary school had. It’s a very short and silly game made with hypercard. The creators later made Myst using the same technology.

I should, yeah, just saw that it's available on Steam :) Would probably be the oldest game I've ever played. Well, except Pong, Tetris etc.

Tried to play Myst as a 10 year old, but wasn't smart enough to figure it out. Maybe Cosmic Osmo is more on my level ;) Really want to try it out this weekend, according to Wikipedia it was a pretty revolutionary game. Also never heard of Hypercards before today (the last Hypercard update was released the year I was born).

Is it inspired by the baobab trees in Antoine de Saint Exupéry‘s _The Little Prince_? See page 15 of https://blogs.ubc.ca/edcp508/files/2016/02/TheLittlePrince.p...

EDIT1: Seems to be from an old video game called Cosmic Osmo? https://www.flickr.com/photos/dot_tiff/3402910182/in/photost...
