Who knew you could get that much drama and fun from a few geometrically-shaped objects with artificial intelligence? The BAFTA award-winning game Thomas Was Alone has now arrived on Android devices and mobile game enthusiasts can now be treated to the game that IGN called "the most endearingly characterful game about jumping rectangles that you will ever play.”
The indie puzzle video game has been in existence since 2010 when it was first introduced as a Flash-based browser game. It eventually expanded into Microsoft Windows and Mac and even made its way to gaming consoles like the PlayStation (3 and Vita versions). This year it has finally found its way to the mobile platform and can now be played on your Android smartphone or tablet of choice.
The game is as minimalist and as simple as the title itself. Thomas is actually a “curious rectangle”, who along with other shapes in its computer mainframe universe, have become out of control and even gained personalities because of an Event that happened. The players can choose to be one of the shapes, even the eponymous Thomas, and go through levels and puzzles until you reach the endpoint for each character. There are 100 levels in this minimalist game that is all “about friendship and jumping.”
The game is available at a discounted price of $3.99 until July 28, but afterwards, it will go back to its regular price of $5.99. It also comes with the Benjamin’s Flight level pack, an additional 20 levels of games as you follow another shape named, you guess it, Benjamin as he searches for the Fountain of Wisdom.
