I'm over here visualizing people holding their phones in their pocket while continuously tapping on them. The goal of not looking disrespectful might backfire on you :).
This looks like fun. It's description made me laugh and not many games succeed in that. I hereby request a promo code to try it.
The app looks nice and the concept sounds interesting. But this worries me a little bit: "I also needed a distraction" - is it really a good idea to treat our brains this way?
