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.

The value story
It has been discounted 80 times in the 8 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 90 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $1.99 at 80 percent off still sits 101 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
It is pricier than 72 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 88 percent. On the same math Kaze and the Wild Masks ($9.99, scores 74) and Will You Snail? ($10.99, scores 99) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
