“Across the game’s gaps and hazards, there’s a real emotional journey filled with narcissism and jealousy.”
New York Times

"Sumptuous visuals and an engaging story."
The Guardian

“It proves that you dont need tens of millions of dollars and hundreds of staff to make a game story worth telling, just a good hook, an engaging vision, and a whole lot of heart.”

Pros and cons of Thomas Was Alone app for iPhone and iPad

Thomas Was Alone app good for

Made me cry about a red rectangle, absolutely 10/10 storytelling and characters.
Excellent narration, brilliant puzzles and extraordinary music.
I 1st played on consoles and finally noticed it was available for iPhones. As fun and relaxing to play as ever!
A great platformer and an amazing narrative. Who would have thought it was possible to become attached to squares and rectangles?
This is not one of the common puzzle games where developers have made many efforts to create superduper grafics and effects but forgot to develop a real good puzzle. this game has many levels which are sometimes difficult, sometimes pretty intuitative, but every single level makes real fun. I really enjoyed that game and it really fascinated me so couldnt stop playing it until I got through all levels. great job!
Wow, its downloading now. I saw a video on utube of this and i cant wait to play!

Some bad moments

Its cute at first, but once I realized the narration doesnt relate to gameplay, Ive been playing with the sound off and not reading the text boxes. I was enjoying the puzzles, despite the poor controls, up until level 5.0 or so, when the game became more arcade style with time constraints. At that point the bad controls went from being a nuisance to a major flaw and I gave up.
I really want my money back. Felt bad on how this was a cheap copy/collage of other more talented older games.
Stage 11.5 is to laggy to finish so the 100 stage thing is a no go
A game of skill and adress, but the change characters controls touch areas are too small and trigger digital controls every time; very frustrating. Bit overpriced too, but it looks good.
Do not be fooled, this is not a game. Its some sort of prank. I looked in all 4 corners of this mess and no fun was found.
Just a platformer for two personages, low levels are boring, high ones locked. Why the game is so expansive, I dont have any ideas.
