Escape for Palm OS is still available and has been reduced in price to only $0.95. It is highly addictive and one of the simplest games I have ever played on a mobile device. Full details are here.
Here’s the detailed instruction manual for Escape- “Tap and drag the red block, avoiding all of the blue blocks for as long as you can.”
OK, that’s all you need to know- this game is the classic ”waiting room” time waster or can frustrate you for hours on end as you try to beat your previous high score- you will NOT be able to put this down…
History: I was sent an HTML version of Escape and thought I would give it a try. Needless to say I was hooked and could not stop playing until I had reached the magic 20 second mark. It struck me that a Palm OS version was needed and after emailing a few developers Megasoft2000 stepped up and spent some time porting it to the handheld platform. The game reminds me of PacMan and Tetris for it’s simplicty and the sheer frustration it can envoke in the player, and thus goes down as a classic retro style game in my opinion.
