    I'm not entirely sure why Thomas Was Alone has such a low user rating. Considering it's characters are essentially geometric shapes, the 'shapes' ooze character & charm. Much like it's characters the gameplay is simple yet effective but it's the writing that really sets it apart.

    Thomas Was Alone is a lovely game all about working together to solve puzzles. It’s perfect for kids and adults alike and is even narrated by Danny Wallace, which is pretty cool.

    This is an amazing story driven platformer with well rounded (albeit 2-D) characters. If you're looking for an action packed game look elsewhere, but this game has heart. You somehow fall in love with these "characters" and when you finish you will want to play it again if only to see the characters again.

    Plays as if it were made for iOS. More fluid than both the PS3 and PC versions. Funny, enjoyable, and emotionally compelling, in an odd sort of way. Excellent port of an excellent game.

    When I had finished with Thomas was Alone, I wanted more. I wanted the story to go on forever. I’m sure, even as a baby, I have never cared as much for a set of blocks as I did here. It’s a case study on how grand ideas and important themes can be carried by even the simplest of designs when its heart is in the right place.

    Mike Bithell's creative platformer is a fantastic experience because of its writing.
