About
Thomas Was Alone. And then, well, he Wasn't.
Thomas Was Alone is an indie minimalist 2D platformer about friendship and jumping and floating and anti-gravity. Starting with Thomas, become acquainted with a group of rectangles-slash-sentient-AIs, learn their individual abilities, and navigate them through 120 levels of obstacles.
Listen to a critically acclaimed score by David Housden. Jump over blocks and barriers meticulously placed by Mike Bithell. Listen to a voiceover read wistfully, a bit amusingly, and BAFTA-winningly by Danny Wallace.
Thomas Was Alone tells the story of the world's first sentient artificial intelligences, and how they worked together to, well, not escape: Escape is a strong word. 'Emerge' might be better. 'Emerge' has an air of importance about it, while keeping the myriad plot twists and superhero origin stories you'll discover under wraps. We didn't even mention the bouncing. That'd be overkill.
Utilize the unique skills of 10+ characters to beat 120 levels.
Uncover the story of AIs becoming unexpectedly sentient.
Immerse yourself in David Housden's critically acclaimed procedural score.

What an absolute joy to replay this game! Great puzzle-platforming, never frustrating but always a bit challenging, excellent narration and pacing, and the music is just out of this world. An absolute gem.
I remember watching Zackscott play this years ago when I was in elementry school and finally decided to play it. Admittedly it's not a great platformer, not much challenge at all really, but it does have very good narration. The ending cutscene was a bit underwhelming and the cut to credits after is kinda jarring. I think this game would benefit from a level editer, there's some potential here. Since its fairly cheap, I don't think there's any harm in trying it if you're going in mostly blind.

The story line was compelling and was an overall cute game.
Great minimalistic puzzle platformer with a nice narrative. Really enjoyed this game. Had just enough difficulty to make you think, but not so much that it was overly frustrating.
played it for the first time when i was in highschool, and just finished it for the first time today, almost a decade later. It's very very good.
a good short game you can playthrough in a couple hours. a wonderful little game with a short story. personally this game is one of my favourite games I have ever played. I played through it on mobile back when the game came bundled with Benjamin's flight on android in 2013 2014. overall Thomas was alone is an excellent game worth revisiting. for how short it is the game is Memorable.
I've had this game in my library for well over a decade, but never finished it. I finished it tonight and I have to say that I enjoyed it. It's not long or particularly difficult, but it's a nice little game with a cool little story.
Гра не те щоб дуже погана - просто переоцінена. Основні проблеми: - керування - іноді команда "стрибок" ігнорується, іноді спрацьовує з затримкою. Для платформера це критично. Багато разів доводилось перегравати рівень, бо в потрібний момент гра просто скіпала команду. - гейм-дизайн, який змушує декілька разів робити одні і ті самі дії для кожного з кубів. - слабкі нудні головоломки, де час імплементації набагато перевищує час розгадування. - оповідь, яка ще сильніше сповільнює гру і при цьому не викликає сильного емоційного відгуку.
I never thought I'd be so emotionally invested in a bunch of cubes but here we are! The puzzles are all very well done with tight controls and nice graphics. But the story is what really sold me on this game. The narration adds so, so much to this game and I freaking adored it! It's very silly but still incredibly heartfelt and I would call this game a 10/10 for the voice acting alone!
Incredible narrative puzzler that does a good job showcasing ideas without throwing too much at the player at once. Narrator made this game IMO, but some of the humor is very British and early 2010s-core. Soundtrack is a sleeper MVP, simple, and repeating without being repetitive. Each level slowly builds on the motif and then the next world restyles it.
