    Thomas Was Alone arrives on iPads with an overhauled control scheme

    By

    Years after the geometric platformer released on the PC and Mac, and a few weeks after selling over a million copies, Thomas Was Alone is now available for iPads as well. The transition to the iPad comes with revised controls that the developer, Mike Bithell, designed specifically for the iPad in order to make playing Thomas Was Alone the most engaging experience possible.In an interview with Polygon, Bithell explained, why he chose to alternate the control scheme for the iPad release."On either side of the screen, we have these color balls that you put your thumb on in order to select which character you want to use. It's a really intuitive, easy thing that you can basically play the entire game without moving your hands."

    Thomas Was Alone developer Mike Bithell leaves studio job, goes full indie

    By

    Thomas Was Alone was our favorite platformer of last year, but critical praise doesn't always indicate good sales numbers. Well, as it turns out, the game must have sold a decent amount: Mike Bithell, the one-man developer behind Thomas Was Alone, has decided to quit his day job as lead designer at Bossa Studios to focus on indie development.
