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.

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

after playing many times a realised something about this game i know many people who have had loneliness most of there lives and from the tales the told me about this game really conveys the meaning of them

this game made me think and i decided that this means you can do anything but when you try you may not be understood and embraced this means you must find another group of people instead of being discouraged and letting your dream die, because if it dies then your reason in life to continue to live a happy and filled life will be diminished, also the music is sad as shit

Wow, I guess I was one of the ones who went to every group, hoping it would accept me. None did. That's horrible. I'd never want that in real life

What I like best about this was that it made me keep trying. Even though I knew the chances were slim that one of those blocks was going to stay close to mine...I kept trying every time. It made me think about my real life, how no matter how dark the world gets, or how lonely I feel, I must keep trying, no matter what.

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.."
