Out now: Almost Impossible! is a more honest take on The Impossible Game

| Almost Impossible!

I like Almost Impossible! on the principal that its title isn't lying to me.

Compare it to The Impossible Game which, it turns out, isn't impossible after all. Lying buggers.

Almost Impossible! seems to have been knowingly made in the style of The Impossible Game. It is perhaps not quite as hard but is plenty challenging enough.

The idea is to bounce a ball of light through a geometric gauntlet. There's one rule to survival: don't touch anything that's red as it will instantly kill you.

But, yeah, that's easier said than done. Circles chase you like boulders, triangles spin like saws, and squares generally get in the way.

There are 50 levels to beat and you're almost guaranteed to get frustrated while trying to beat the harder ones. Some people like that - others don't.

If you do then make sure to check out Almost Impossible!, I suppose. It's available for £1.49 / $1.99 on the App Store. It'll also be coming to Apple TV and Mac.
