Almost Nothing is a short'n'sweet action-puzzler that will force you to be very timely and restart a lot. Don't underestimate the difficulty of this little game!

The Minimalism theme comes into play in the control scheme, graphics, and interface.

There are a few bugs and performance is terrible for a game so simple, but it's working... mostly!

I'm planning on adding more levels, but in the meantime, I have a submission I'm quite happy with.

Interesting puzzle game, but it's kinda confusing, esp when the colours don't mean anything particular on their own.

This is a great puzzle game. Music was nice too. All around good game. I didn't beat it but I did play through a bunch of levels. The timing ones were difficult.

Nice concept. Hard to grasp the swap block and using the fizzle with timing can be either tedious or frustrating. I wish puzzles didn't depend on it so much.

Good puzzle game overall and time passed by without me knowing it. Hahaha!

A couple of the puzzles near the end seemed to require luck for the spark to go down the right path unless I missed something, otherwise a really solid puzzler.

I couldn't beat it, but I gave it my best shot! Very cool puzzle game. I'm not usually a fan of puzzle games, but I really enjoyed your game. Nice upbeat music and good, polished gameplay.
