office-canardWHEELCHAIR D
A racing game where each thumb drives one wheel.
About the game
WHEELCHAIR D gives each wheel its own lever. Your left thumb drives the left wheel, your right thumb drives the right. Push both to go straight, ease off one side to turn, pull one back to spin on the spot.
Race on circuits, mountain passes, a bridge over the sea and off-road dirt, in the dry or in the rain.
Where it came from
In August, the developer spent about three weeks in hospital and used a wheelchair for the first time. What surprised him was how interesting it was to drive: every move comes from two hands working separately. He kept thinking it would make a great racing game, so he made one.
It started as a game about racing around hospital corridors. Once it was fast, it moved to a circuit. Once it could drift, it moved to the mountain passes. That is where the "D" in the title comes from.
