Not/Alone is loosely based around the idea of running from your fears. Though you can't see them, they're still there...
Controls: W/Up - Move up A/Left - Move left S/Down - Move down D/Right - Move right
Collect the green blocks while avoiding the white. Collecting a green block will destroy half of the white blocks chasing you down and gain you 1 point.
While in the light world, the white blocks do you no harm and cannot move. Use this as a chance to escape certain doom.
The worlds alternate automatically - 4 seconds in the light followed by 6 seconds of darkness, each switch bringing more enemies your way. Keep collecting green blocks to keep their numbers in check.
The alternating worlds is a good idea, but the simple graphics didn't convey it very well. It is more of an impressive HTML5 demo than a game that has loneliness

This game gets really hard! But it's way too slow though. Mouse move would've been a good addition too, would feel much more natural.
Ok I thought the white screen was a bug until I reread your description. It's a decent idea but it doesn't feel quite right. Whenever the white screen comes on you're just kind of waiting for it to change back. Cool pixel smoke effect at the bottom of the screen though!
Difficult to play due to the speed you move at or the size of the squares. Gameplay is good, controls are good, graphics are good. However, there's no fun or audio (that I know of, I use Chrome) and the square is just a square, not a person, and I can't sympathise with a 'lonely' square. Good work with the graphics and gameplay.
