Funny idea^^

I like that u actually push urself harder with more speed, if u push against a table, wall or something else, gives u more options for strategic movement.

A bit mroe sfx would have been nice but overall good work on that! :)

Developer

Thank you for the comment!!! :)

I didn't expected much but was surprissed by the great use of the theme and the excess of seriousness in the game, the lack of music is a shame but at the same time it's funny to just hear the sound of the wheels

Developer

Thank you for the comment!! :)

Loved this! Love the little kicking animations and sound effects were very satisfying. I didn't manage to get the chair to spin, just slide, but the levels were a fun level of difficulty! Would definitely play more levels :D

Developer

Thank you so much, I appreciate the kind words!

Great minds think alike — office chair spinning! I like the artwork and level designs. 

I think the click to move mechanics were a bit frustrating and unpredictable. But maybe that's what you were going for?

Some background music would have been nice.

Thank you for the feedback! I wanted the controls to be kind of unpredictable but I'm sorry to hear that you found them frustrating. And yeah I agree with the background music thing. Thanks for playing!

I like  i idea of pushing chair in office and really sometime i have done it too.

Developer

I've done it too! Thank you for the comment!

ITS cool, i have the same comment, the background music is missing, the art its cool, and the details in the levels

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

I like the idea of just spinning around in your chair. The floor being lava made it challenging yet still easy to be through it! Like another comment, maybe add some background music, but other than that it was great!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words!!!

Office Chairiot is an amazing play on words, but also a fun game about being too lazy to get out of you chair to get stuff done in the office. Get your coffee, your work, and get back to your seat all while sitting in the comfort of your now personalized butt-shaped chairiot. 

The primary loop is engaging, and is the type of game where it is easy to get into a flow state optimizing paths to victory. The ambience works to further encapsulate the world, and the sound effects remind me of my very own butt-shaped chairiot blazing down the halls at breakneck speeds, though my collisions tend to have more consequences.

Some (hopefully) constructive criticism:

-The ambience is great, but I would LOVE a little bit of background music. Doesn't have to be loud and it can match the theme. Maybe have the sprite put some earbuds in if you're worried about in-world continuity?

-Since the gameplay input is the mouse, 8-directional limits on input can feel a bit limiting. I understand it is easier to code collision this way for off-object boosts, but could I recommend a secondary collider for the feet instead to remedy this? The sprite doesn't need to represent every angle, but I'd feel much more in control with a few more options on my angles.

Overall great game! Fun to play and replay. Well done!

Thank you so much for the feedback!!! Yeah I do agree with the background music point. Also, you can move in any direction but I think the player only having 8 sprites might have made it feel a bit more restricted that it actually was. Thank you again!

pretty fun and easy to understand gameplay! Was reminded a bit of Crazy Taxi in an office with the arrow system! I beat all 3 levels and had a good time. Maybe some music would have helped the vibe!  

Developer

Thank you so much for commenting!! I was a bit undecisive whether to add music or keep the awkward office ambience (which I admit might have been too quiet). Appreciate the kind words! :)

Submitted

I like the seriousness!

Love the art style, but it got me confused about some hitboxes (eg. chair+lava) Also i was able to stroll over lava pits sometimes. (prob. a bug)

Developer

I really appreciate the feedback!! I intended to have a little grace period when touching lava to make it more forgiving but yeah I might have made it too long. Thank you again for playing!

I think he needs longer legs. Liked this idea a lot and can see the theming quite nicely. The background color on the itch page though makes the text hard to read. Otherwise a good game. 

Developer

Thank you for your feedback!! I've adjusted the itch page now :)
