  • "Your device isn't compatible with this version"

    Nexus 6P, too old?

    • Not too old.

      It's either a genuine reason (no compatible hardware) which I would find surprising or it's the Google Play market demonstrating it's usual hopelessness and low quality by wrongly informing you that your app is incompatible.

      Various workarounds exist: modded Google Play app, edit build.prop but they all require root as far as I know.

        It's not google play, it's the app developer not updating the compatible software/hardware list.

    • +2

      More like too new, this app was last undated in July 2014.

    • Yea I have a nexus 6 - apparently not compatible either

    Meet Thomas, a curious rectangle

    Wow, they really let their imaginations run wild: a rectangle!

    • +8

      don't knock the game till you play it, probably one of the best indie games ever

      • +2

        Probably one of the best games ever, indie or otherwise. And this is the opinion of a gamer who despises 2D platformers and basic graphic (or 8bit/retro) games.

        • +1

          big call

      • Agreed!

        This game is remarkable in the way it develops character and emotions for mere shares!

        I think it is an incredible game!

  • Cool game. Puzzles are not difficult but the experience and music especially are awesome. It is very nice to pickup and play and would def recommend.

    If looking for really well designed puzzles and much better game, play Braid.

    • Could not find "Braid"!
      Is it available on Google Play?

      • +3

        I don't think Braid has been ported to any mobile devices. It's available on various previous-gen consoles and Steam though.

      • +1

        yep, available on steam.

        damn good though, its a 9/10 with 5k reviews on there.

        i like thomas was alone for the atmosphere but braid blows it out of the water, in comparison its childs play

    Thanks TRENT86 :), get to use my Google survey money

    • Ditto :)

      • +1

        I havent been offered a single survey ever and been signed up for about a year :(

        • +1

          You need to have GPS or Location turned on for the surveys to flow in.
          I was survey-less for over 1 year until I open the floodgate (aka Locations) with my newer phone.
          I get about 2 a week on average.

        • @CuteChocobo:

          Thanks I now know why I never get any

        • +1

          1 survey every day. Haven't paid real money for a single app

        • @CuteChocobo:
          Thanks, checked all my settings and all was enabled except for background location services. Switched that on so I'll see how I go.

        • +1

          Don't know if this will help but I wasn't really getting any survey when I first started using this a while ago. Now I've been getting a survey consistently every morning by opening the app when I wake up. Nothing but 'have you been to x place recently' which will net you 10-20c.

        • @pakon29: I used to get surveys automatically, 2-4 a week, then New Years day they just stopped. I opened the app to check a couple of days ago and two came through right away, nothing since. I opened the app when I read your post just now, one survey right away. Looks like something broke/changed. Going to try checking it each morning, great idea.

    Meet Thomas, a curious rectangle

    I know that gameplay > graphics but jeez! What's the rest of the cast like? Tracy, Thomas's circle girlfriend? Tom, his cylinder dog? Timmy, his wheelchair-bound triangle neighbour?

    • +6

      Nope, they're all rectangles. :)

      • Is a square a rectangle? Discuss.

        • +1

          A rectangle is a plane figure with four straight sides and four right angles. So yes, every square is also a rectangle. :)

    • +2

      I don't see shapes, I see characters. The narration is amazing.

  • Just bought this and installed remotely onto my nexus 7. Went to install on my Moto X Style…

    No love. Too old like the 6P? lol

    • Not compatible with a Note 5 either

      • +1

        I've emailed the dev, no response yet, only been half a day

        • Hey there,

          Android phones are assigned screen profiles when they are released, things like small, medium, large, XL, etc. We know that the game works very poorly on smaller screens, so when we made the game we included a list of compatible screen types. On this list we included all but the smallest of screen types, but since then more screen types that didn't exist back then have been added. This includes your device.

          I'm hoping to convince the team to do an update at some point, but we'll only be able to do this by removing people from other projects, so I basically need to convince the guy who works out budgets that we'll be able to recover the costs of doing that.

          It's complicated! And really annoying! Hopefully we'll be able to at some point though…

          There you go. If you are keen, hit up the dev via the contact in the play store.

          Seems like such a minor update to make this work, surely easier than answering 100 emails asking why it doesn't.

  • Played it a long time ago. Excellent platformer.

  • -1

    I have mainly read positive reviews, something mskes me feel like it cant be true, like its an in joke , must be in the narration..I cant bring myself to play ot but have watched some clips on youtube

    • I get what you're saying.

      But 20c and using my survey rewards money was enough to make me pull the trigger. Haha

      Use it to pass time on a plane when there's no internet connection :)

    Thomas Was Alone

    The real Q is why was Thomas alone? Does he not have friends? Where are his parents? Is he a criminal in hiding?….

  • Bargain. Although it isn't compatible with my Nexus6, it does seem to work on the PC on Bluestacks .
    Beats the $10USD asking price on steam.

  • +1

    Many thanks for this, have been meaning to get this game so 20c is the best excuse! :)

  • Great game thank you! I didn't think much of it, but after reading the reviews it changed my mind and I don't regret it
