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.

love this art style lol (also sound effect)
it's fun. I keep hitting trees pretty hard while replying to those texts.
Really fun game, weird and chaotic in a good way. It honestly reminds me of pretty much every taxi driver who ever gives me a ride somewhere xD
The visual style is great too, it fits everything that's happening perfectly!
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.
cool game, love the multitasking!
thank you!!
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
best compliment ever!! i love gleep sm 👽
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!
YESSS u get it >u<
lol that's super fun!
Thank you very much for playing! :7
I loved it. I loved the art, voice lines and the small details of the things tipping when you turn. I recommend adding more questions and maybe obstacles on the road like people crossing. Great job!
Thanks so much. I was sure nobody but me would notice the tims cup tilting. :)
all round very cool. Hella unique concept and I love it. But it does get a bit too easy. I ended up with 17healt and I don't see the ending. With a bit more time it would be real good.
thank you so much!!! this is actually my first game jam and first game ever :) i do plan to continue working on it, thank you very much for the feedback :DDD
For the record, none of those cookies were mine :)
