In real life, when you're trying to text while driving, you don't look away from the road but bring the phone to a height where you can move your eyes between the road and the phone. Well at least that's how I do it in real life and it's great fun imo. Try having both things available at the same time so it's no more a game about just driving and messaging speed but also how the player decides to switch between the two.
Added a Unity Web Player version and fixed the crash that a few people reported with the Windows version.
It looks and sounds great, and its really unusual!
Also, I laughed out loud when I failed to reply the first time :P
Great work!
Really great idea!!!
You probably already know this, but OfficialNerdCubed, my favourite youtuber featured your game in his video "3 Free Games Friday 40" :D so congratulations, that's been my dream.
