Ever felt like you were a small rectangle lost in the world? Being tested. Alone? Well, now you can.
Music for Ambiance:
This is an adorable platformer puzzle game with a small story around Thomas, an AI who ‘woke’ and started taking notes.
- The whole ‘alone’ thing.
- Portals: they led somewhere.
- Falling. Thomas was absolutely fantastic at falling.
The game is probably best with a controller, but it’s not impossible on a keyboard. And the levels progressively get more difficult. Even Thomas notices that.
Thomas might be a bit of a scientist by nature. Eventually though, he is no longer alone.
Chris does not really like Thomas.
But the game doesn’t stop at only two controllable rectangles. There’s more!
And they must all work together to get to the ‘exit’ for each level.
Each rectangle AI has different skills, abilities, and personality. And as you progress you find more and more rectangles in the computer code. The story unfolds slowly and relentlessly. Light-hearted, caring, dark, sorrowful. And the narrator throughout is just perfect. Actually the music is too.
I have completed this game. It’s adorable. That is all I can say.
This looks like so much fun! And what does “a platformer” mean?

Ah – platformers are jumping games. Where you jump from ‘platform’ to platform. Although this game is more heavily focused on the puzzle solving than the jumping (which I completely appreciate). It’s a pretty quick game as well. But the story is just adorable.
