The Fantastic ‘Thomas Was Alone’ is Down to $1.99, Has Spawned Blocky Action Figures

TouchArcade Rating:

If you enjoy games that tell lovely stories and you haven’t played Mike Blithell’s Thomas Was Alone ($4.99), well, why? Good news for you, though, the game has dropped to $1.99, its lowest price ever. This puzzle-platformer has traveled from platform to platform (PC, Consoles, Mobile) and has won many awards and players’ hearts along the way. We loved it in our review and noted how the port plays great. Thomas and his four blocky friends (and I mean blocky literally) really feel human as they have actual personalities that come through both in the story and gameplay. The narration that accompanies your platforming (narrated by the great Danny Wallace) enhances the heroes’ personalities, making a game about blocks and bars feel much more “real" than many games with amazing graphics.

Thomas was alone

In case you think I’m exaggerating about how human the little blocky characters feel, Blithell actually made “action figures" out of them because, as he told PCGamer, many have asked for them repeatedly. Just the fact that most people don’t find this move crazy (they look just like any other toy block) should tell you the connection players had with the game’s four characters. The figures look lovely and carry the signature of Kerry Dyer (the sculptor) and Mike Blithell (the game’s creator). They cost 20 pounds ($31), and you can order them here if you so desire. So, whether you just want an amazing game at a great price or want to have little blocky guys and a gal on your desk, here’s your opportunity.
