very fun game, dragging up the phone sometimes doesent work, but overall very nice game, the texts are very fun i want to see them all but i need to drive at the same time. Chaos.

Cool idea and a fun game. It would have been nice to have keyboard controls, because using either car or phone made it impossible to play. Had fun playing it regardless.

Yeah, that was something that we were debating on. Part of the chaos is having to manage both with one device, but adding an option for keyboard controls would be something we could add in the future.

Awesome game, well done.

Cool game, I liked it. The dragging controls were a little finicky at times, would have been cool to have an option for just a button click to put the phone up and down. I liked all the blurring effects you added. Sometimes the traffic seemed like it was too much.

(I was laughing so hard writing this im sorry lmao but I mean it, it was a really amazing game)

ALL 5 STARS THIS GAME MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD

Really good game, probably the best one I've played so far, everything is just on point!

Amazing experience. I absolutely LOVE the way the audio changes/increases every time you hit something- it's so cinematic! Plus the art style really helps set the mood for the game. If I had to give one critique it would be that as a player I felt zero incentive to interact with the phone, and so it became essentially a driving simulator (which isn't bad it just isn't the goal of the game I think). The game would benefit from a mechanic where if you don't respond on time your girlfriend breaks up with you, you are fired, or something like that, just to give an incentive to balance both mechanics. Overall great game!

You should automatically lose after some time not completing tasks on your phone, but we didn't fine tune the balancing on it! Thank you for your feedback!!!

No problem! It was fun playing your game. I'm here from the rate for rate, so would appreciate if you could rate mine now btw :)

Really cool idea, the controls are really fluid and the graphics are super good and the music increasing after each hit is a nice touch. I'm really bad at the game but I loved it!

Exact opposite of what you're supposed to do in real life :D 

Hahaha amazing Idea! XD

Controls is so smooth. I liked the concept! Good job!

Submitted(+1)

That's one very good game! Great job! I was just driving and it is fun! They should implement such smooth driving controls in GTA5 too hah. And also the music was great too!

Submitted(+1)

Nice game! I like the idea, too many accidents happen in real life cause of people using their phone while driving.

Submitted(+1)

Wow nice, I was not expecting this! Very interesting another keeper!

Submitted(+1)

As soon as I hit a car and the music started blasting I laughed out loud! Great signs of a great game! I also love all the random messages that get typed out on the phone. This game is pure gold.

great game you got there, it little hard when dragging the phone, maybe because of my small screen
