You know, this was about using a smartphone in a very usual way, but it somehow feels refreshing. Just toying with the apps was fun (the flappy game alone is an outstanding timekiller), I actually smirk when reading the comments in the *world* chat.
So, a really straightforward but interesting take on the theme, good job!
Liked the whole vibe of this. I did a mobile for my entry too but so nice to see how different this is with its mood. The colours used are great and the camera usage allowing you to set the background was such a nice touch. Also that flappy bird game is great :) Liked that the battery was at 12% when it suddenly died, makes it more believable.
A rather faithful interactive simulation emulating a simplified mobile phone. Nice work there. I don't see the satire though. Sure the OS update doesn't want to leave me alone, but other than that there isn't anything satirical here. Pointing out that being bored and wasting time on a phone is not the best way to spend your time is just common sense (to me at least).
Also Flappy bird isn't/wasn't that easy in RL.
Good work nonetheless. A digital experience for future historians.
I liked your art style. It's a good OS simulator. And the battery life was realistic. Was fun to play. I don't have flappy bird in my phone and this game remembered me of it, and as in real life, I failed in flappy bird. Very funny game !

It would have been fun to also have a Facebook or Twitter app :D
I didn't expect that when I reopened the game again the smartphone would be still powerless, but luckily I managed to recharge it up to 200%!
I thought I would be the only one to put flappy bird in a LD game, I'm glad I'm not alone :D
I watched some progress on Twitter and couldn't wait to play it, not disappointed at all.
(needless to say I love the graphic style)
