The game responds perfectly to what you want to do, where you want to go, or how you want to jump. Physics are arguably better than any game of the last few years. Excellent physicsĬontrols in Thomas Was Alone are fantastic. These are presented in two ways: either you have to combine characters together, switching controls between them to progress or figure out how to overcome various obstacles using your skill and imagination. Thomas Was Alone walks the line between pure platformer and puzzle-solver. It's a great example of how you don't necessarily need amazing graphics to generate an absorbing atmosphere. This narration is the only contact that you have with the characters, and really helps bring them to life with plenty of gentle humor thrown in. It describes what Thomas and his pals are thinking, and how they feel about each other. At first it's not very complicated, and although the later levels become tortuous, the infinite lives and checkpoints mean that it's never too hard to progress.Ī voiceover narrates the story of Thomas Was Alone as you progress through the game. The game will also be available on PC when it's released later this year.There are more than 100 levels of increasing difficulty in Thomas Was Alone, in which you'll need to combine the different talents of the angular heroes in order to progress. Thomas Was Alone is currently available as a free download for PlayStation Plus subscribers, but Bithell pointed out that the 1 million figure does not include any of these downloads.īithell is currently working on stealth-based game for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita called Volume. If Bithell did indeed sell every copy of Thomas Was Alone at $10, the game would have generated $10 million. "So stop your 1mil x $10 maths right now," Bithell said with a winky face. The bulk of the 1 million units sold came through bundles/discounts/promotions, he pointed out. He's not swimming in piles of cash, though, he says.
"Not bad for a crappy little Flash game," Bithell said, likely in jest, about the achievement. Presumably, that sales figure represents the total number of units sold across all platforms. The game is available today across PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, and PC. Indie hit Thomas Was Alone has now sold over 1 million copies to date, creator Mike Bithell said today on Twitter.
