App Escape by L

[raw]
made by L for LD26 (COMPO)
Thumbing through your smartphone at midnight during a thunderstorm on Saturday the 13th wasn't as safe an activity as you thought, because somehow you've been zapped into the incredibly deadly world of your phone's menu screen. Fortunately you've installed the app that will let you escape, but can you reach it before your lives run out??

Controls: Arrow keys to move. Spacebar to skip cutscenes.

Cool idea and well implemented. Reminds me of Animator vs Animation on deviant art. Two thumbs up :)

There were some neat things. idk if my character was slow intentionally, but I was always killed by something I had no control over.

Trippy man! I love the intro, but felt a bit slow at the start (climbing).

I got stuck at the level 2, on the instant messaging app. Nevertheless, that's a funny game, with good ideas !

*▼ Spoiler alert ▼*

Hint : if you want to skip level 2, just go to the left and hit the Speech app (the pink one, with the lips on it).

I like the art and I love the humor and the randomness but, IMHO, I don't think it is very minimalist, but still good...

Interesting idea. Like everyone else, I felt like I was moving through mud.

Very cute! I'll never look at "Help" the same way...

Pretty funny game. Movement was slow and such, but that wasn't the point of the game, so I didn't mind.

Quick and funny. Too bad there isn't much interactivity.

Interesting, but a bit too slow for me.

The gameplay was pretty much nonexistent, but otherwise the game was really clever and fun

Hehe, funny stuff. Not very relevant to the theme, but I appreciate your thought for story.
