    lol wow xD

    I like what you did with the title screen in-game. How you made "Drive" into "die".

    The theme of the game is a bit morbid, though, since this is a real problem that hits home with a lot of people. But still, looks like a pretty fun game to me.

    Agreed, fun and sending a message. Always a great combo, I can't wait to try it out!

    It's only a touch morbid! I actually came up with the idea while being nearly taken out by some people texting and driving while riding my Motorcycle to and fro from work in Austin,Tx - people there seem to love to text and drive!

    Anyway - we're seriously not encouraging anyone to go on a rampage!

    No offense, I like the game, but

    It seems like your sending out the wrong message. I would make it about avoiding those who text and drive. But instead your promoting...killing them?

    No offense taken.

    To note, we're not 'promoting' anything - especially killing anyone. No more than any game is promoting killing people, but I suppose this is a subject of much debate. We didn't slate this game to be educational nor even really an awareness game.

    True it does have a theme that is definitely real - texting drivers are a fricking menace. And we've even included loading screens with factual data, but still yet, this is not an education/awareness game. It's just a game and it's not sending a message to go out, get an emp and start taking out cops and texting drivers - no more than Ninja Gaiden promoted killing cultist or any FPS promotes killing... Anything.

    I assure you there is no intention of promoting any sort of violence - and honestly; avoiding texting drivers as they swerve around on the freeway or any other road isn't a game - that's a reality, I do it every day.
