Use of the limitation
The entire theme of the game is built around timing. You're running late, Mercury is in retrograde, and you have to text your date before he ghosts you.

I liked the visual style and the whole “Mercury in Retrograde” idea has a lot of personality. Driving while also having to deal with messages on your phone is a fun concept and creates some intentional chaos. However, I had a hard time understanding the actual rules while playing. I wasn’t sure exactly what caused me to gain or lose crystals, what my main objective was, or whether the different phone responses had consequences. A short tutorial or a few clear prompts at the beginning explaining the crystals, obstacles, and phone mechanic would make the experience much easier to understand and enjoy.
A really cool concept and execution; it fits the constraints well.
Fun visuals and narrative, though the thematic connection is a bit weak—just the crystals representing points and lives.
I liked the game.
The art style of this game is really unique and I did quite enjoy it :D. The concept is simple but it fits the theme really well and I had fun playing it. The one thing I did struggle with for a bit was understanding how to play? but after a few attempts I got the hang of it, so maybe a tutorial would help players understand but other than that I had fun playing it.
Funniest way to interpret this theme, the sounds were great too
Reminds me of john gleep with the idea of managing 20 different things while driving
Awesome idea, having to multitask between checking the rear mirror, where you are driving and the phone all at the same time! Very chaotic, haha!
