I find it interesting how many people either ended up ignoring the other dots or avoiding them. I did the same. It reflects on an actual practice we see with social situations. Outcasts learn to remain outcasts without attempting to establish relationships.

This was interesting. Near the end I didn't try to join the other dots anymore. I walked straight through the groups and didn't wait to see if they saw me.

dude its not meant to be super special its supposed to convey a message. but your view on it is your view "i may not agree with what you are saying, I will defend to the death your right to say it" Voltaire.

A Game that is so simple yet still gets the messege that people shuld value others as then you have a friend and friends bring happyness and joy and hapiness is a wonderful thing

Why would you think that making a 'game' of hopelessness for children who complain about loneliness would be helpful?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
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.

i found myself in tears at the end and having a korean background made it more relatable to people this just shows that we should accept all and for those people who say this is a party game or it is just weird you are wrong this is a game based on a real person who had trouble making friends because he/she was different i don't know how it got such a low score i rate it a 100/5

It's not about loneliness! You are playing party crusher;). People having fun, but then you come in and wreck the party. Oh yea. It's funny game:).

*repeats to herself* "They're just squares, just squares, just squares... Please stop crying..." Saddest time of my life... 5/5

How can this game have such a low score, it deserves a 5.
It made me cry, and im sure it made others cry and it only used squares

God... never thought a good depressing game about squares could be kinda depressing... I can also tell you that just my parents' Korean background makes me depressed enough...

This is about (obviously, guys!) South Korea, where intense education blocks teens' humanity and morality to grow and mature. Due to that and 'Izimae' culture of Japanese - which refers to phenomenon of isolating a single or a few students in school (damn Japan... S.Korea have been affected by so many wrong cultures due to Japan's colonisation of S.Korea. S.Korea became independent again in 1945.), many teens in S.Korea suffers and even commits suicide. One among four students is said to have experienced this. :(

At first the game didn't have much meaning for me since I had heard what it was in advance, but the end still got me. As the screen got darker I could barely see where anyone was. There then there was this one guy by himself. I thought, maybe they hadn't seen this guy, or didn't want to spoil it, there's no way this guy would leave. He did, the music stopped to reset, and it hit me all at once. Even those in a dark place all alone, still didn't accept me. I dealt with loneliness before, and this describes it so well; you have no idea why you just accept it, then you find another like you, think it could work, they understand how much you want someone, and they want someone, just not you.

This is one of the most beautiful games that has ever been uploaded to Kongregate. It is not "Beautiful" in the sense of physical beauty. Nor is it "Beautiful" because of it's controls, music (Even though it is quite spectacular) or its simplicity. It is beautiful because it has MEANING. Something far too many things in this world seem to be lacking... 5 stars...

Ok. I wasn't too impressed with this until I realized that I had begun deliberately avoiding other squares because I knew it was futile and didn't want to ruin their pretty patterns. I think the metaphor therein nets this game at least a little respect.

I don't usually type these. But it's my last day of my university lease and I've just said goodbye to my closest friend. It's a deep moment, we'll never sit together again in a room that we both call home. Everything we've known of eachother will just fade, just like everything else around us has.

Very nice. I appreciate the education, and I honestly think this deserves to be published on many more sites for public awareness, not just flash gaming ones like Kong.
