Critic Reviews
While Almost There: The Platformer is definitely not on par with some other immensely popular games of the genre (like Super Meat Boy for example), it surely has its own charm, and there is no doubt that there are a lot of people out there who will appreciate its simple, minimalistic design. Gameplay-wise, the game will provide you with countless hours of entertainment, and despite some of its flaws, it’s still definitely worth checking out, especially if you are a platformer fan.
Miserable Scribe · Jun 18, 2019 Reviewed onRead full reviewAlmost There: The Platformer takes a stripped-down approach to enemies and level design and adds a twist: while gravity can kill you, it only has limited power over your movement. It subverts the jumping puzzle game and manages to meld it with a fun brainteaser because the designers realize that a real-world motion (the joystick) doesn’t have to play by real world rules.
Bill Stiteler · Mar 21, 2019 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewYou won’t care that you’re just controlling a block, and you’ll be concentrating that much that the ho-hum sound design won’t even be on your mind. You’ll just be obsessed with beating its micro-levels one after the other. And if you’re a real glutton for punishment, maybe going back and three star-ing them all afterwards.
Richard Seagrave · Feb 25, 2019 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewIt’s competent and well-made but ultimately uninspired. This is a game you will have fun with and then completely forget about. There are better platformers on Switch, but this one is worth a look if you feel the need to test yourself every time you see a gap or spikes that beg to be jumped over.
Jordan Rudek · Feb 18, 2019 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewIf you are looking for an additional platformer to add to your collection or a game you can play with one hand while standing in line, Almost There will fit that role nicely.
Maciej (Mike) Duraj (Lata) · May 16, 2018 Reviewed on iOSRead full reviewAlmost There: The Platformer is bare-bones platforming, with simplistic visuals and sound, but the platforming shines. If you fancy a challenge and have a few quid spare, it’s worth a spin. Be there and be square.

About the game
Sprint between saw blades while dodging homing missiles. Duck under lasers while the floor crumbles beneath you. Almost There was designed specifically for fans of the hardcore platforming genre - you've been warned.
