I don't mind quick 'games' that are essentially a simple point, but I think either the music was repetitive or there's something off about the sound. For the social commentary, I think We Become What We Behold was clearer and managed to put its components together better.

Why would you think that making a 'game' of hopelessness for children who complain about loneliness would be helpful?

It might also be that i am an mostly emotionless academic who seeks out knowledge and education above most else. Groups mean Skiving off. So Groups are Bad!

I can't speak for everyone, but I come here to play GAMES, not for lessons in sociology and psychology. I have no idea why you would upload this onto a game site calling it a 'notgame'.

If moving a square up and watching different patterns of squares scatter made you depressed then you have a problem. what you're trying to do with this is great, but you could have made people feel lonely playing this way better than you did

This is what this is? Really? I was expecting more. This didn't tell me much at all. The music drones and gets annoying quickly, the message is preachy, and the game is either way too pretentious or not trying hard enough to get the message across.

Games like this that try to justify them being simplistic with a "Hidden meaning" are stupid. This is a website for GAMES. Not hipster art.

Dumbest game ever, if you could even call it a game; with it's annoyingly repetitive piano music, and, in the end; totally pointless.

I don't like games that don't show much. It's just an excuse to not use a lot of code. Trust me, if the dev really had a need to make a game about loneliness, then he would make the squares PEOPLE, not BLACK SQUARES.
Jesus.

Tremendous and simple. A very powerful interactive experience, particularly if you stop to really think about it. Visually, there is beauty in the simplicity and gentle spiraling away of the 'others', despite the symbolism of the rejection of a group. Even allowing 'others' to move towards you sends them gently drifting away. I also found the player becoming one with the background to hold multiple meanings and can be interpreted many ways. Is it death? Is there an exhilaration knowing one has made it so far, alone, and being brave enough to continue forward when you can't see?
Simplistic and weighty, with plenty of emotion. Very well done.
