I got a score of 255 lol, very innovative and funny idea. Depicts how easy it is to lose focus when multitasking. The game became too hard at one point where I cant even open my phone cuz that wud immediately crash. I would prefer easier controls, preferably keyboard buttons.

Submitted

 great, and I love the control, its easy to learn the game! Hows mine?

The game is very fun! I love the artstyle and the sounds and music are top notch. I like how the music changes depending on how much is your car broken.

Right now the game is a bit too difficult I think. I could ignore the phone like a good driver and still crash in 2min because then the game simply turns into "Rekkles Driving Simuator" :p

Very unique and fun concept. The driving part was fine, however, I found it really difficult to get the phone to scroll up and down. It was very particular with what part of the phone I dragged on to achieve this.

Developer

You had to use the bezels of the phone to drag it since the screen needed to have drag functions for tasks, but we should have made that more clear in the tutorial.

Loved the concept. Fit it perfectly with the theme!

Great Idea! fits the theme perfectly. The game is very well polished< I like that you paid ayyention to the little things like mirror animations and distance blur when the phone is pulled up. The music fits the game very well. The problem which I had was the hitbox (clickbox?) for the phone, I could  only pull it up by dragging on the left side. Overall excellent game

This game is great! easily one of my favorite this jam, among those that aren't leaving my computer haha. The art and music is really good and the gameplay was fun. I saw in another comment someone mentioned you guys wanted to do a wario ware style game with a bunch of micro games- you guys should totally do that! you have the humor down.  Is chris chan a mom against kettchup though?

Very nicely done. Fit the theme perfectly and is just brilliant all around.

That's a pretty nice way of interpreting chaos haha
I love the art and how the music just changes to some intense stuff after 2 hits!
The blur effect is a nice touch too!

Great game :)

5/5 one of the best games in the jam in my opinion.

One of the few games im not gonna uninstall.

I do really hope it gets more updates.

Submitted

Cool game!

I would like if you try my one too: https://oxomatteoxo.itch.io/taxi

This is by far one of the best games here <3

I really like the idea and it's so chaotic. 

The only thing that didn't quite worked out for me was the controls, maybe I'm just not good enough but I had trouble to drag the phone up, sometimes it just didn't want to get up. 

Very well done, very creative, ggs <3

This game is amazing. One of the best I've seen on this game jam. The graphics are great. The music dynamically adapts to the action. The gameplay is extremely funny. One thing I learned from this game is that driving a car and texting at the same time is definitely not the best idea. I have survived no more than 1:34 minutes. Amazing submission!

We really wanted to make a lot of Wario Ware style mini games as the apps, but boiled it down to just texting for the jam.
We had a lot of cool ideas for minigames including Tinder, Buying/Selling/Hodling Stocks, Duolingo, and more! Depending on the team, I would love to build this out more if possible!

Please let them agree, i would be the first tester if possible keep me updated

Liked the idea very much. But the level was pretty hard😂

Insane Idea! I had a ton of fun honestly, the graphics are also really cool

Submitted(+1)

Really fun take. The drag controls made it super hard. What I imagine Papers Please would be like if it had cocaine.

Submitted(+1)

I really liked how this was executed. its very stressful so I just ended up not using the phone and just driving past the traffic lesiurly.  much how I imagine it would be stressful to me if I actually did do this. which I would never want to.

Dragging the phone up and down is a little bit choppy and the blur is a little bit too much, otherwise great innovative game
