You must have quick reflexes to position the firefighters so they can bounce the window-diving babies to safety. Fire Escapes starts off slowly but builds up to a torrent of babies and -- as you master the game -- Ninja babies!
Official selection in the digital showcase at the 2013 Boston Festival of Indie Games.
"The 8-bit style of the game is very well executed and will remind players of classic arcade games." - 148 Apps
Tap or tilt to move the firefighters one position to the left or right. Three positions, a building on fire and babies to bounce to safety. GenXers who lost their arcade innocence on Atari and early Nintendo will love the retro look and feel. Distinct bounce patterns for each baby add to the fun twitch gameplay.
"A Game & Watch update which looks, sounds & plays like a dream!" - The Games Shed
Arcade Mode gives you med-kits and moneybags to help you along and bowling balls to avoid. Plus, a special ending for completing all 15 levels!
"Its definitely worth grabbing for the reversing ninjas, dinky music, and splatting babies." - Handheld Remakes
Programming and sound by Brian Kokernak. Graphics by Carl Jagt. 100% indie.
Pros and cons of Fire Escapes app for iPhone and iPad
Fire Escapes app good for
An addictive game with wicked graphics and fun gameplay. A steal at 99 cents!
A challenging game in the retro genre that will leave you: not eating, not sleeping and not socializing with your family. You may begin to curse under your breath.
i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!! and tell mr. john hollingsworth i love him too
A great port of an old classic with some fun new mechanics tossed in. Super fun.
Some bad moments
Awesome game. I just killed so many babies, awwww! I guess I gotta practice a bit more!
I got 125 on my first try. Stupid purple missile baby! Im glad its dead. This game is so fun, I want to give the developer a big bear hug!
Keeps me happily amused. Love the throw back layout and sound design.. Dont say this about many apps but this is worth the .99 cents..
Addicted to this years ago on the Palm, glad its finally available! Love the music and retro feel. More babies more levels in next version.
This is a fun little game. I didnt know it was set to tilt controls at first, died pretty miserably until I went into the options. Got 65 points with the tap controls, then 180 my second time around. This is a great example of mobile gaming: zero learning curve, fun sound and graphics, and fun to play. Not every game has to be Morrowind to be a fun distraction.
Hola from /r/iosgaming ;)
Lots of fun, even though Im awful-just a beginner. Love the retro feel. Great diversion!
