TL;DR: Classic indie platformer with fantastic story & music.

Story & Characters: Fantastic characters and story are what carry this game. The ability of the game writer to make us feel emotion and character from what are simple geometric shapes is a fantastic and strong credit to the writer's skill. It is also worth noting that character animation here also plays a role. Each character's jump being slightly shorter or longer, and the bounce animation after finishing a jump. Every detail is included in an attempt to ensure the player ends up with some connection with Thomas and his allies.
-
Music/sound: Great music throughout. Upbeat but with a slight sombre undertone fits the wider themes of the game.
Neutral:
- Gameplay: The gameplay is fine. Not terrible, not great. Some of the platforming was occasionally challenging (particularly in the later stages) but overall not too shabby.
Cons:
- Length: The game is short but feels like it slightly overstays its welcome. I'm not certain if the gameplay is varied enough to carry its run time.
Conclusion:
A fantastic game. Easy to see why it was an indie darling at release.
