Japan, November 2026. Solo developer office-canard has released WHEELCHAIR D, a free racing game where you drive a wheelchair one wheel at a time.
Each wheel has its own lever. Your left thumb drives the left wheel and your right thumb drives the right. Push both to go straight, ease off one to turn, pull one back to spin on the spot.
The idea came from a hospital stay. In August, the developer spent about three weeks in hospital and sat in a wheelchair for the first time. The game began as a run down a hospital corridor. It got faster, so it moved to a circuit. Then it wanted to drift, so it moved to the mountain passes. That is where the "D" in the title comes from.
Features
- 31 courses, from circuits to point-to-point runs on public roads
- Circuits, mountain passes, a bridge over the sea and dirt roads, by day, at dusk and at night
- Time trial with world records shared between phone and browser
- Battle mode against three rivals, with contact
- Rain and unpaved surfaces
- A practice room
