Gran Text Auto Gran Text Auto is a texting and driving game, starring Gran!Half driving — half texting — half octogenarian ad… Free Buy Now Watch Media DetailsGran Text Auto is a texting and driving game, starring Gran!Half driving — half texting — half octogenarian adventure!Like many teens in sunny Los Emoji, California, Gran loves surfing, parties, chill vibes, and most of all TEXTING! But Gran is 88 going on 20 doing 60 in a 30!It's dangerous, but Gran don't care! Gran loves danger! It's like breakfast to her. She eats danger like other emoji people eat emoji egg-in-a-frying-pan!Whether cruising the city or by da' beach, Gran never puts down her EmojiPhone! Not even to save her life!Gran has lived a life! Not a day wasted. Unlock achievements in Game Center to read more about her.*** Much Car Crash ***Emoji Automotive makes 10 types of cars. Each 2015 model vehicle brings unique tragedy to Gran's inevitable accidents! Drive 'em all! Crash 5 of the same type to take it for a spin!*** Crash Snap ***Gran's favorite EmojiPhone app: Crash Snap! Share pics of disaster and mayhem on social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or probably whatever else the kids use these days…*** So Upgrade ***You can remove the ad… but you don't have to. Gran doesn't pay for, like, any apps. She says she doesn't even notice the ads anymore, so why bother. It's cool if you do though!It also unlocks Golden Gran mode, but so does sending of texts! Will you earn it? Iron price or gold price?Talk to all Gran's family and friends… even the imaginary friends… and some thirsty creeps… and some animals… even memes!DO try this at home… this game… not texting and driving. Seriously, don't end up like Gran… it always ends badly. "it's free. download or FOMO" — GranJibber Jabber:No emoji were harmed in the making of this game.All emoji are fictitious. Any similarities to any persons is purely coincidental, but kind of funny; you should post a pic of them.Anything else this reminds you of is probably intended parody and seriously hopefully everyone is cool with the jokes.Seriously, this is obviously punny parody. Let's all be cool about it.

This error/bug is hitting the App Store (more in the US than others) since several weeks (months?) ago. Just insist. kobake Member Jul 1, 2015 10 0 1 Los Angeles, CA http://kevinmangan.com #4 kobake, Jul 2, 2015 It is available now! VirtualBoyFreak is correct, there's a bug with apps appearing before they're actually available. It's available now that it's after midnight Pacific time. Not sure if that's because it's my timezone, or Apple's timezone. witedahlia Well-Known Member Jul 28, 2012 347 0 0 #5 witedahlia, Jul 2, 2015 Yes! Thanks for letting us know. I just downloaded it. Glad I checked back to this thread. kobake Member Jul 1, 2015 10 0 1 Los Angeles, CA http://kevinmangan.com #6 kobake, Jul 2, 2015 Awesome! Let me know what you think! �� New New Member Oct 1, 2009 12 0 0 #7 New New, Jul 2, 2015 I am terrible at this! This game is so hard! But lol the dialog is so good! I feel like I recognize gran's voice, but I can't place it. Are the original Golden Girls still around? hahah fiskadoro Well-Known Member Jan 1, 2009 326 17 18 Chicago, IL #8 fiskadoro, Jul 2, 2015 Last edited: Jul 2, 2015 I think this is going to be a cult classic. It's very addictive and fun, love the music and presentation and I think there's room for it to improve and grow, too. I'd like to be able to nudge cars from the side instead of dying at the slightest touch, but even then, the crashes are hilarious. slammajamma28 Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2013 729 1 18 Software Developer 'Murrica #9 slammajamma28, Jul 2, 2015 This is good fun. It makes me realize how much I rely on auto correct! I have to slow myself down in order to do well. I've gotten up to 63 after several runs. All the achievements for cars crashing afterwards is good fun. Remember kids, don't text and drive!

Gran Text Auto (lovely name =D) totally reminds me of when I *used* to text and drive. Unless you can type without looking, you'll know what I mean when you try it. I love the interface design for the menus. GTA is a really nice distraction (pun intended). I haven't tried the Golden Gran yet, so I'm not sure what changes that brings to the game, but the main game is really fun. You reply to messages by typing on your normal keyboard while tilting your phone to avoid oncoming traffic. Give it a try! kobake Member Jul 1, 2015 10 0 1 Los Angeles, CA http://kevinmangan.com #11 kobake, Jul 3, 2015 Thanks everyone! So glad you're are enjoying Gran and her antics! It's a simple game, but I really tried to polish up the details and how it all goes together. This is my first game (shipped). It's been very exciting watching the reception. New New Member Oct 1, 2009 12 0 0 #12 New New, Jul 3, 2015 Fantastic game! Someone mentioned something about this game making you realize how much you rely on autocorrect and they were spot on. It really makes you focus on the keyboard so that you get your presses correct, which makes the driving aspect that much harder! Some folks don't don't like the Golden Girls music but I think it really elevates the game. I can just imagine Gran bopping down the road, rocking out to the GG. Pro-tip: if you don't like the games music you can play your own in iTunes and the sound effects in Gran Text Auto will still play! Perfect. P.S. - I am really, really, really, really, really, really, really bad at this game hahahaha kobake Member Jul 1, 2015 10 0 1 Los Angeles, CA http://kevinmangan.com #13 kobake, Jul 10, 2015 v1.01 First update released today! Fixes some GameCenter issues, and updates the Crash Snap banners to feature more Gran! There's some bugs with the iOS 9 beta. I'm on it! Updates for that soon! And as always - new dialog added every week! kobake Member Jul 1, 2015 10 0 1 Los Angeles, CA http://kevinmangan.com #14 kobake, Sep 20, 2016 Funny how when it rains it pours. After a year hiatus I'm finally about to release v2 of Gran Text Auto... many more levels, totally redesigned UI, sorely needed updated dialog, and a changed reward structure and removal of random ads (user can choose to watch ads to earn things). and wouldn't you know it? Take Two Interactive, publisher for Rockstar Games, maker of Grand Theft Auto, a game my game parodies in title and spirit (obviously), has finally noticed me and decided they don't like parody (ironic)... they've said they're skipping the C&D and are threatening to sue me. I (and several lawyers) think my parody is very defendable. Crazy times. Anyone have any advice? (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
