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.

after I saw they were running away from me, I supposed that in the end there will be a withe one waiting just for me, the right one... but only if the game doesn't show it, it doesn't means it is not there! You only need to wait for it.

Kinda feels like, when you've been unaccepted or left by a certain amount of squares... you just feel like you want the game to be over. Kind of like how lonely people may feel about life...

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.

Interesting. There is something strangely compelling about a game that cannot be won; especially one as simple as this. Great message. Some people need to understand that interactive experiences take different forms, and any of them can be valuable. 5/5

Was I the only one who clicked on this game because of a single thought
"Oh look a game called Loneliness. Might as well play it since the name describes me.."

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 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.

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.
