10/10 game. It was excellent, and I would most definitely play again.

The only thing I would change is making the engines also increase the horsepower, so that at the end you could climb up 45º slopes. 10/10 game though, need sequel now

after completing the game found out there was sound option in settings 5/5 would play again

My wife asked me why I was playing a game where Stephen Hawking in a tank-tread-laden wheelchair collects coins to the tune of midi running in the 90's. My son told her it was obvious why, duh.

Then the people with the key to the straight jacket told me that the voices aren't real.

(+2)(-2)

i mildly dislike this game

(+1)

why have i played this game for hours and did not regret it.

(+1)

Why his game so addictive, I kept playing even when I got the monstruosity

(+2)

beautiful 

(+4)

Wish it tracked how far you go. Then, we could see improvements better.

(+2)

It does internally, and that's reflected in the value of the coins. But yeah, a distance measure might be a good idea.

(+5)

Do you want to drive the monstrosity?

Yes                                 Also Yes


I'm like where is the HELL YEAH! button?

(+7)

This is disrespecting his legacy. WHEEL CHAIRS DON'T EVEN HAVE CAR MOTORS!


Yeah... I'm just fuckin' witchu. Best game ever. All stars given. I just wish the motors had more strength. Not speed lmao. Don't change the speed. Sometimes I couldn't even see the ground LMAO. BUT! If I don't have momentum, then I can't get over simple ramps. So in my opinion, have the upgrades also add strength to the wheelchair.

This game made my week.

(+4)

Thanks for the encouragement. Me and my friends often joke about Stephen Hawking, and I decided to take it to an extreme. But I know what you mean about the strength. It's probably because the throttle adjusts the lateral velocity rather than speed relative to the ground.

(+4)

This is the stupidest yet funniest game I have played on itch.


Brilliant. 10 outta 10.

(+2)

THIS GAME IS                         EPICCCCCCCCCCCCC

(+4)

hey creator, i really liked your game without a joke, i liked it so much that please make ultimate wheelchair 2 with more UPGRADES, levels, and if you want a story thanks.

(+3)

Well done this is epic

(+4)

This should be game of the year

(+1)

I almost crashed my laptop running this game but it worked well, good job! (Perfecto game)

I think, however, that you have to increase the speed of the Player, so it's too low

(+4)

It's only slow without upgrades. The point is that you can upgrade the wheelchair to go faster. With the V8 and monster truck wheels, you barely touch the ground. But thanks for the feedback.

wow, cool game, very funny
