10 out of 10!!
I love this game, and it’s certainly my favorite mobile game. People usually play addictive and mindless games that really have no point, but this is a beautiful concept and all the characters have unique and interesting personalities.
I remember when I was young I would watch my sisters play this game, back when it was available in the PS3 Store. They never did get that far, and since it was a very long time ago and since it was available as a mobile game I decided I would buy it. It was worth the money and worth much, much more. It’s entertaining, beautiful, and such a nice game. The narration is so peaceful and the music is amazing. It just comes to show that you don’t need the best graphics if you have a story to tell, and oh boy does this game have a story. 10 out of 10 and I implore everyone to play this game.

I never thought I’d care for shapes so much!
What makes this simple platformer so engaging is its ongoing story. This seems like just a basic game of squares, but it’s so much more than that. As the player advances through each level, more of the story is revealed to them. A story of these squares, with individual names, personalities and thoughts. As the story progresses and these simple characters experience more of it, we begin to really feel for these characters and start to love them. Thomas Was Alone is such a mind blowing experience with more character development than most AAA games today!

Just Started Playing
Since I am only in the beginning stages of the game this is only my initial reaction. I enjoy the simple design, the story and the narration (Not being British, I love the British accent of the narrator!)
But, there are some things that could be improved to make it even better. First, optimize for the iPhone X screen. Second, make the control areas larger, especially the left-right movement buttons. Finally, while there is a “stretch” when Thomas jumps, there is no “squish” (or compression) when he lands, or bumps into a wall. That additional subtle animation trick would make the character feel more real and more fun to control.

An emotional story about... rectangles?
I had heard things about this game. I heard it was great. So when I realized I could get this on my iPhone, I was overjoyed. So now here I am. Beaten all the levels. Collected all the collectibles. And I still play it though. It might not be great in gameplay or graphics. But what does it strive in? Storytelling. The story is dang amazing! One of the best stories yet! And that's saying something because I've played Undertale. It's also really dang emotional! Yet again, because I've played Undertale. I felt like I was stabbed with a dagger in the chest after playing chapter 4. (You'll know what I mean once you play the game) I really would call this 11/10. No, 15/10! The only thing I can complain about is the price. I think $1 would be a better price as the game goes by fast. But overall it's a really great game. 15/10

The Blocks of the Century
A truly fantastic app. I love the narration, it's almost better than the game itself. And the simplicity of the game is phenomenal. Honestly, it's the best game I've possibly ever played. It's addictive, though not in an annoying way. It's very intellectual- The geometry and physics of it are really puzzling, it truly makes you think.
My only complaint, would be the lack of more levels. I suppose it's one of those one-hit-wonder sort of things, but it felt like it needed more... Like it shouldn't have ended there, like there was more to the story. Maybe it's hard to get the narrator back, and I understand the process of these type of games must be truly difficult, but I loved Thomas, James, Chris, Laura, and all the rest... I hate to see them end here. It feels like a cliff. A gap in their journey, that is in need of fulfillment. Those were my thoughts, anyway. I'm just a lowly 11-year-old though, so I suppose that I may not understand the complexity of the game-making world. The best game I've played yet though- So keep up the good work and hopefully keep up the creative Thomas characters, and make them alive again!!! They deserve the five-star-rating!!!$
