The game will also be available on PC when it's released later this year. 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. Guide a group of sentient rectangles through a series of obstacles, combining their skills to reach the end of each level. "So stop your 1mil x $10 maths right now," Bithell said with a winky face. Thomas Was Alone is the acclaimed platformer about friendship and jumping and floating and anti-gravity. The bulk of the 1 million units sold came through bundles/discounts/promotions, he pointed out. In September 2016, it was announced that Bithell and distributor Limited Run Games would release a physical version of Thomas Was Alone for the PlayStation 4 and Vita. Alongside Thomas, there are a number of other shapes with names. But Thomas the rectangle can very rarely do this alone. In each level, your objective is to find a way to reach the exit. He's not swimming in piles of cash, though, he says. You control a rectangle on a quest to jump over coloured shapes and traverse abstract environments. "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.
