Getting there is easy. Getting there with exactly zero steps to spare is another matter. EXACTLY ZERO takes a familiar grid-based puzzle and gives it a sharp little twist: reaching the goal only counts if your move counter lands precisely on nothing.
One rule, no moves left
This offline Android logic game from independent studio Barebyte asks you to plan each route carefully. Every move consumes one step and you cannot simply wander back over an old square to waste the excess. Sometimes the direct route is exactly the wrong one, which makes the shape of each level part of the solution.
We like puzzle ideas that can be explained quickly but still give players something to work out. Here, the challenge isn’t how fast you can reach the end: it’s whether you’ve understood the route well enough to arrive with the counter at zero.
Released on 31 October 2026 according to the developer, the game features 12 handcrafted levels, a short tutorial, undo and restart. Barebyte says it runs fully offline without adverts, in-app purchases or account requirements.
