Thomas Was Alone is a puzzle platformer game created by Mike Bithell for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, Linux, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita. Bithell came up with the concept for the game during a personal 24-hour game jam while working at Blitz Games in October 2010.
The game is based on friendship, with the player controlling multiple coloured blocks - each with different abilities. Each block embodies a different out-of-control artificial intelligence entity, and they must work together to solve puzzles.

Story
Artificial Life, a company working on various AI solutions, created some little robots. A network connection spike caused some AI to become self-aware and perceive themselves and the 2D world.
Gameplay
Thomas Was Alone's gameplay follows a relatively simple platforming loop. The player controls a number of colored rectangles, each with different abilities - and is able to switch between them at any time. The goal is to move these rectangles to their individual exit portals from the level.
