## What is LONER?

LONER is a very simple game, no attributes, no upgrade, or even no score, what it wants to bring you, is only purely tranquillity and loneliness.
LONER tells the story of a lonely journey of a pilot, in the journey, you would understand his past and his pursuit.

Features
**Unique Game Mode
It has two modes of operation, two-hand-sliding and gravity sensing, the unique design brings a deeper sense of immersion.
**Very Simple but Various Pictures
There is no complicated shape and brilliant appearance, but you would set foot on a different kind of color trip.
**The Right Original Music
Several sad, or quiet background music makes you completely immerse in the game.
**Random and Rich Barriers
Level barriers are completely random and there is the strong vs strong level. It takes the different levels of players into account; obstacles are based on the music beat, which deepen your inner resonance.

Director Profile
Before making LONER, I was a game programmer, and really wanted to make a game with my own style. The original idea is to make a 3D version "Flappy Bird" with a different perspective, but in the production process, I suddenly found that the game has a quiet loneliness: A plane flies slowly alone in the dark channel by passing one after another obstacle, but seems never reach the end of channel, which is slight shiny in the distance. In the influence of some literary and artistic works, I have been very interested in loneliness, and there are rarely games which express mainly the lonely sense in the market, so that the game topic is decided as this. 
As a programmer who begins to learn art, I understand that to create roles and environment with rich details in short time is unrealistic, so I decide to pay a tribute to the art style of the "2001: A Space Odyssey”, and this style features "Loner" that the entire scene tones can be arbitrarily transformed.

### 1/5 — misleading

*2026-04-01, version 2.0.4*

states no data collected but requires location data to play

### 1/5 — Requires Location to Play

*2026-01-23*

This game was pretty relaxing until a recent update that requires your location information in order to be authorized, which makes no sense. If you do not allow the app to do this, it refuses to load, so I deleted it.

### 1/5 — Needs my location

*2025-10-18*

It’s advertised as a simple game, but needs my location for no reason.

### 1/5 — Requesting too much information

*2025-07-25, version 2.0.4*

Why request Personal ID number when play? Hong Kong players can’t log in at all!

### 1/5 — I miss this game

*2025-06-13*

I used to play this game all the time. It was relaxing and had a nice story line that was revealed as you played. I can no longer play this because the game REQUIRES access to your location “to provide better service”. I do not want to be precisely tracked and identified in order to play this, so I said goodbye.

### 2/5 — Unusable

*2024-11-15*

Didn’t hear music. Couldn’t read settings instructions because they were in Chinese. Sorry I liked the idea but it’s unplayable

### 1/5 — Зачем местоположение вам?

*2024-09-01*

Я точно помню что покупал эту игру, по итогу не раскрыв свои данные не могу воспользоваться оплаченным продуктом.

### 1/5 — 為什麼會需要用到開啟定位

*2024-02-26, version 2.0.4*

為什麼會需要用到開啟定位？請給出解釋

### 1/5 — Location?

*2024-02-04, version 2.0.4*

Can’t play the game unless it has access to my gps location?

### 5/5 — Ryan Gosling

*2024-01-21, version 2.0.4*

I played this game before and I forgot its name. I've been looking for this game for 2 years.
