How did I miss this? Long time readers may remember an old LunchTimeWaster flash game by the name ‘Thomas Was Alone’. I remember it purely because I fell in love with the simplicity of the design, and the intricacy of the puzzles. I thought it was an incredible game. Apparently a full blown, updated version of the game was being developed all this time. Now it’s on sale and you can buy it. Nay, you should buy it. Because it looks amazing.
I feel like I should give you more information on the game itself.
On the game’s website Thomas Was Alone claims to be a game about friendship, but it’s really a game about puzzles. In Thomas was alone you control different characters simultaneously, and you must use and switch between these characters, utilising their unique capabilities to solve the puzzles.
Think of it as a 2D Portal Co-op without the co-op!
I’m pretty excited the game’s creator Mike Bithell actually took the core concept of this game and fleshed it out. I can’t wait to play it.
