Hey, I will drop my feedback below:
hey i just played this and left my feedback on the discord!
Hello! Here's my feedback and a recording of my playtesting session:
What was the most frustrating moment in what you experienced?
- I kept losing/being pushed off my chair and couldn't find a replacement :( One thing that wasn't frustrating but wasn't quite clear was what the hearts/health was for. Maybe that's why I kept losing my chair :P
What was your favorite part of the game?
- The art was super cute, I really liked the names of the characters and the concept of grabbing some chairs and just racing around the office is fun.
Was there anything you wanted to do, but the game didn’t let you?
- Again I kept losing my chair, so a way to get one back easily would be nice. I ran around half the track at one point and couldn't find one but became so slow it was easier to just restart.
If you had a magic wand where you could change any part of the game, regardless of cost or complexity, what would you add/change/remove?
- If it doesn't already exist a track without any obstacles/things to slow you down could be fun, just to have one mode where you could zoom as fast as possible
What would you say you were doing in the game?
- Grabbing chairs and racing with them
How would you describe the game to friends and family?
- Racing game with a cute office chair theme
A fun game! I really got into the races and I found the game play feel really good.
I did initially find it confusing that you had to run backward to get a chair from the start line! But everything became clear quite quickly.
I hadn’t played the old maps, but the maps I played felt polished and well put together with well flowing movement and spaces.
It was a fun game to play :D
I have recorded my play through so I’ll send that your way when I can.
Really neat pixel art silly racing game. I didn't get it at all at the first time, but second time I got 1st! Still, I have no clue what all the power-ups and status-effects (fire, water) do, except roughly speeding or slowing me. I know one gives a bar with a lightning symbol, but I couldn't decipher. Also one makes a sound, but again I was clueless. Maybe some small icons above the character can tell more? Or some pop-up 'IGNITED' or 'SPLASHED - SLOWER TURNS' or whatever it does, will help a lot I think! Great job and good luck!!
Hi and thanks a lot for the feedback!
And well done becoming 1st!🙂👍
Have you just played with the standard settings or did you change anything? Turbo mode? Difficulty? Which tracks did you play on?
The description of the collectables can be found on the game's itch page 😅
- Turbo sneakers give you a turbo boost
- wheel shield protects you from carpets and puddles
- energy drinks restore your energy bar (which is like a stamina bar - when it depletes, you'll be 20% slower)
The energy bar is not that important on easy as the energy depletes slowly... But depletion increases on normal and hard difficulties, so it becomes crucial to pickup the energy drinks or you'll slow down.
Some chairs need also more energy than others (energy stat in the selection screen)...
Anyway, thx again for playing!🙂 If you'll ever decide to give it another go, I'd be happy to hear about your experience!
Nice little race game! Neat pixel art, little hard to win though, didn't get the chance to test multiplayer aswell. But it should be great!
Suggestions:
Some meta progression;
Some weapons mario kart style.
Hi and thx for the feedback! 🙌
Honestly, I didn't think about Meta progression yet - but it could be a nice possibility to add a condition for unlocking the later Turbo modes! Will think about that! 🤔
And yes, more power ups that also can be activated at the desired time are on my list and will be added later 😉
SPOILER:
- Broom, to swipe opponents in front of you to the side
- salad oil that you can spill behind you and is slippery
- paper ball that you can throw at others to bring them to fall
I loved the chaotic old le mans start where you have to go get your chair. I was confused and loving it.
Thank you! 😁
I really wanted to have a (chaotic) "run for chairs" at the beginning - despite getting feedback to "just start on the chair"! It just felt right for this game - and I'm happy you like it 😊
Nice simple fun! It did made me a bit dizzy after the 4th race in my 27" pc monitor, might be better a bit further away. Only managed to win 1st place on easy so does feel a bit hard. But overall no complains. Once i get someone to test the multiplayer will add further comments. Keep it going!
Hi and thx for playing!
Yeah, playing in fullscreen on bigger monitors can be a bit overwhelming as the base resolution is only 320x180 😅
Did you have any difficulties navigating through the tracks? Did you get lost at some point or did you always know where to go?
Have you tried the different Turbo options?
Yes, the game is probably not that easy to beat at the beginning but as you learn the tracks it will get pretty much manageable 😉👍
It was a bit difficult to navigate only by the game directions. It took a few tries to be able to win mostly by memorizing the stage. But I think that's common in most race games. What turbo options? 😅 I only tried different chairs and grabbed power-ups. The boot was the only turbo I noticed, and the soda can filled up a bar that I guess measures the remaining fuel. But I didn't notice any other mechanics on my first try. There was a lot happening, so I only focused on the basics 😅. Might try again later and pay more attention.
Haha, fair! 😀
The Turbo options can be found at the very bottom of the options menu that can be accessed through the title menu 😉 but this will change with the next big version where you'll choose the Turbo mode at the beginning of a race - similar to the Mario Kart games.
There you can change a few other options as well, like seasons, touch controls, language, etc...
Turbo is turbo on by default and makes every chair 20% faster. Super and Ultra Turbo makes them 40% and 60% faster, respectively 😉
The bar at the bottom is your energy or stamina. When it runs out, you'll be 20% slower - this can easily happen on standard or hard difficulty and is less important on easy.
There are a few secret codes that unlock additional characters, options and a chair. You can find the codes here:

This is the last 0.3.x update of CHAIR Champions, where all characters, tracks and chairs are available from the beginning on! With version 0.4, the Office Store and an unlocking mechanism will be added, as well as more power ups and/or another game mode.
Would be nice to get some feedback on the revamped tracks (more speed, less obstacle evasion!) - especially with super and ultra Turbo option activated!
See changelog at the bottom of the game page for recent changes that have been made. 😀
