Cool and unique concept for a game! And good use of the theme.

Really clever presentation of the whole idea, also a great twist on the theme, I haven’t seen any game take that approach :D Well done. My only criticism is that the game is almost too easy, could use some more fast pacing. Hope you try mine too https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/722968

I really liked how you did this game. It is hard to type and steer at the same time

That was interesting, unique and kind of powerful as a message. I was almost sure what happened was looming though to be honest... I tried not answering one specific message to see if that was a win condition too (maybe it should be!).

The game was super creative and very fun, but maybe the cars should have been harder, or maybe showed up more often? Nice game! I love the message and the Clash of Clans part lol.

That was an interesting take! I wish it'd be a little bit harder / more dangerous to text and drive, forcing the playing to either type with one hand or very little bursts before switching lanes hectically.

Great little game with an important message!

The moral doesn't work in the game. If I am to not text and drive, then when I don't respond, I should not have a game over, I should have a: You figured it out dude. Now the game forces you to do the wrong thing and if not, you are punished over it.... For the rest...awesome game though.

The game was intentionally meant to be somewhat ironic for comedic effect. It's why the ending comes as sort of a twist. I'm glad you liked it though

Good moral at the end. The level of challenge was appropriate for a game jam I think. The game-play was pretty well designed as well. Good work!

Hey! I really liked the theme and the gameplay, I thought they were super creative and worked really well. My only gripe is that it felt as though the other cars were a minor inconvenience rather than a challenge, by the time they were even a danger I had already finished typing. Great job!

Hey I like the story and the gameplay was pretty good and it's included in the story. Congrats ! (do'nt text and drive fellas)

Cool game, the UI could have been done better, use text mesh pro only from now on as an advice. Also a bit too challenging for my taste, but nice idea overall

This is great! Challenging and sends a clear message.  I loved how easily I felt involved in the game and got carried away with the story.

I really enjoyed playing it, and it was really funny!!! please don't text and drive though is dangerous

Submitted(+2)

This is really cool! I love the concept, and I have no clue how you guys thought of something so unique. I really enjoyed playing; the art and sound could be better, but the actual game and story was awesome!

This game makes texting and driving seem fun! No but seriously, I like the use of a full keyboard. You don't see it a lot in games. Good use of the theme to, recollection is definitely a type of rewind.

Everyone who has a drivers licence should try this game!

Great game! Very well done multitasking

Submitted(+1)

That was fun. I always love a good typing game and I liked the theme being applied in narrative. Westley and his wife seem like terrible people :D
