Extra Credits (The show) brought me here.
You have just taught me a new way to look at a valuable more in life, friend.
Regardless of anything, you are here and this is your place in the world. There will always be an opportunity for something; anything. Unfortunately for many, the opportunity doesn't go as hoped. But even then, when that opportunity has past, a new one will appear. Just keep trying to find the next one, and then the next one, and eventually you will find something.
Y'know, it may not be what you expect - perhaps even nothing you hoped for - but if you listen just as much as you hope to be heard, you will find something you hardly knew you wanted in the first place.
In the end, all is well. Always.

I really like this, I don't think it deserves its low score at all. It's a game that can trigger some soul-searching. It isn't over-complicated at all- plenty of flash games I enjoy because they're complicated enough to drown out my sadder thoughts, but this helped me to engage with them. 5/5 from me.

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

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 imagined I was the alpha square of my territory, driving away competing squares. By the end, I was quite pleased with my handiwork! Guess this game is a matter of perspective.

Near the end of this game there were squares by themselves yet they still run away. They would rather play by themselves than with me

I kept trying to get closer and closer to the other boxes/people. I ended up giving up and avoiding them. I just drove the boxes/people away.

Featured on Extra credits again :D I agree with them it totally is a game and I really liked it. ALL of you NEED to play Timeframe, especially if you enjoyed this. Timeframe is the most emotional game I have played in a while and it is 10 minutes long

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. :(

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

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 how I feel in the real world, true too, its like, when you walk up to a group of kids the same age as you are, trying to make friends, this game is a perfect example of what those groups does when you approach them, even if they are alone.

Today, a bunch of pixels arranged to look like random squares in a screen punched me in the face and made me think about myself and my life.
I dare you, I double dare you to play this and keep believing games are not art.

This was me for about 9 years of my life, but after moving to a new place to learn I now have an amazing bunch of friends and a wonderful girlfriend, Thank you game for reminding me of how far I've come.

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.

Thank you for the powerful dialog you’ve created with this simple nongame. Your game not only made me experience deep and sorrowful loneliness, but also made me think about my feeling, observe all the stages it was coming through. At first, I was driven by interest. I was interested in knowing what will happen, if I approach the group. Then, I was driven by desire to test my luck. I approached every new group and tried to become part of it. Then I figured a simple pattern: every group I approach disappears. I started avoiding new groups altogether. But still, my curiosity was itching, so occasionally I approached them – only to meet same disappointment. Finally, I made a suggestion that eventually my dot will disappear – and this turned out to be true.

very relaxing, and a great message. in a way, it kind of puts you in the shoes of the lonely and helps you empathize.
