"Alongside every gamer with time on their hands, I've tried my hand at game development in various guises. Most aspiring developers try their hands at a platformer at some point, and you learn very quickly how important basic movement mechanics are from this."

Michael Ormonde, Thunderbolt writes: When one thinks of well developed characters, bursting with personality and nuance, a simple trigonometric shape isnt the first thing that necessarily comes to mind. Its probably not even the seventh. Yet Mike Bithells Thomas Was Alone does its utmost to prove that while they might be square on the outside, on the inside theyre anything but.

If you took to heart the superfluous ramblings of Quantic Dreams David Cage, then youd be led to believe that creating an emotional connection with a player is only about graphics. The argument makes sense; with beefier graphical power comes a more realistic character model, and with it a wider range of relatable facial expressions. Even so, the number of polygons youre able to shove into a virtual elderly-mans doughy-eyed face is not proportionate to the amount of emotion the player will feel.

gaming Union: "If you could sum up Thomas Was Alone in just one word, it would definitely be unique. It's a simple game with a minimalist design, however its narrative in almost direct contrast, is rather deep and meaningful. It's certainly something that certainly something serves to freshen up the industry. On the flip side, the game is very short and though it offers replayability with collectibles, it will deter quite a few. However, for those who want to experience something you may not have experienced before, or for those who want to be engaged by a pleasant cast of characters and a charmingly humorous narrative, then Thomas Was Alone may be just what you are looking for."

Garrett Glass of The Koalition writes: Video games have presented us spectacular plots that place the stakes of the world painstakingly high, but very few are able to scale back their plots in favor of creating characters that reflect the daily personal struggles of humanity. Thomas Was Alone, an indie puzzle-platformer created by Mike Blitthel, manages to create some of the most engaging human characters in a video game Ive ever played, and all of the characters happen to be voiceless quadrilaterals.
