Thank you for the detailed feedback😀.
To answer your issues: To pick up the phone, you must first remove the items on top of it. Unless you did remove the items on top and still couldn't pick it up which would be a new bug.
Skip intro: I feel your pain😅. I had run out of time before I could get that feature implemented. Which brings me to the ui elements: That was part of the last second rush and had to be literally thrown together in the last few minutes😅.
All these issues will be fixed in a later update. But I really appreciate you playing and taking the time to list out feedback.
