Mike is looking at Greenlighting Thomas I believe, but is holding off at the moment. Not sure why.

Greenlight at the moment is a hit-and-miss. Not a bad move to let the dust settle and then submit it with less noise.

I wonder why, and I wonder why it was removed...

I posted too quickly, he pulled it because of compression issues. Here's the fixed version:

Sent him a mail today and he'd like to have it on Steam as well, but he didn't say more than that and 'we'll see...'.

Hope I get to play this one day.

Sigh.
You'd get to play it today, IF YOU BOUGHT IT!
I understand though, steam, easy access, updates blah blah blah.

Anyways, I thought he submitted it already for steam? If he's looking at greenlight does that mean Valve turned it down? Did he submit it?

I just finished this a bit ago and it took me close to four hours to get through it. I really, really liked this game a lot. Touching story, interesting characters despite being rectangles, nice soundtrack, and I love the minimalist graphics. The narration was fantastic and often made me laugh.

Worth noting if anyone purchased this before it hit steam the developer was emailing out Steam keys, with thanks of support. Was a fantastic experience first time round and since I got my key I have started re-playing it via Steam, it's all coming back to me again.
Brilliant game.

Great, thanks. Was waiting for the next sale before picking it up.

Am I the only one suffering from tearing in this game even though I have graphics set to "fantastic" which apparently should have v-sync enabled :/

[Volotaire]

Started this yesterday. Great game, especially the commentary.

Shame, would be much better without it

BUY THIS GAME!

The narration really gives it a Portal 2 vibe and there's a demo available now, so get on it!

Oh I guess I should try it out then. I have had this game sitting in my steam library for a long time, not sure where I got it from, humble bundle I guess.

Anyone know of similar music to the Thomas OST? Google isn't helping, and I really love the soundtrack. Don't even know the genre or description -- eager for more.

 

[Kazerei]

Try contacting the game's composer, David Housden. Perhaps he could point you to similar music or music that inspired him.

Just beat the game on my vita from this month's PS+ offerings. If I could pick a word to describe it, it would be "lovely". Lovely soundtrack and whimsical characters helped along by lovely narration. The quality of the narration can't be praised enough. I loved it.

The puzzles themselves weren't too difficult, but it had a few clever moments that made me chuckle. Funnily enough, the biggest motivator to complete the game was to see the fate of my rectangles unfold. Short enough to finish in one sitting if one really wanted to, I imagine this would be the perfect game to blast through on a rainy, spring weekend.
