Holy crap what a game!!! I love the concept and the whole point is to bring awareness to texting and driving. Good job and wonder what you would do next in this game?
The mechanics are there, staying on the road and texting. Those two together were challenging. I think the game has more potential, good work!
While the idea is there the actual implementation seems like a bit a hit-or-miss. The bar seems to float around either very wildly or get stuck at the edge. By the first gas station on the third try I was already quite bored as I had only gotten one message and at the second I crashed instantly as I looked down. It was a relief there was a timer on the bar instead of just instantly doing it, but the gameplay was rather stale regardless.
Understandable, thanks for the feedback!
Very creative. Personally, I would have made the messages appear faster and require fewer keys to be pressed because I was reaching the goal before sending a single message.
I crashed my car and killed an entire family of people. Then I tried this game and it was pretty fun!
The idea is great, gotta try it irl (jk I don't even have a driving license). The game looks good and is well implemented, texting tho is madly hard but it fits with the game.
this was so much fun! I definitely felt the pressure from trying to balance things out. no real issues i ran into. I have an ultrawide setup and it seemed to work out just fine.
I really enjoyed playing your game—it’s such a smart and creative way to teach an important lesson: don’t text and drive! The mechanics, like managing the chat and driving simultaneously, are so well done, and the increasing difficulty keeps it engaging.
Also, I loved watching your devlog video—it was super insightful and added a lot to the experience. We definitely need more games like this to spread awareness. Amazing work!
Sick! Thanks for the kind words! Keeps me motivated, so I appreciate it! Glad you found the mechanics and level of difficulty engaging, didn't have much time to playtest so happy to hear it wasn't too unbalanced ;D
And thanks for supporting my channel, I'm new to content creating, so that was by far the most challenging part of this
This game changed my life
️🔥
OMG THIS GAME'S PERFECTION
Makes me wanna go out and drive (textless of course)
Hey glad you liked it! Thanks for the kind words
Get out there and text and drive! (in-game of course😀)
