Chair Up! tasks you with making important phone calls and getting around the office without leaving your seat. Or getting clobbered by your coworkers who are fighting for the same job.
Up to four players can all vie for the same job, each grabbing their office chair and heading into the building. That isn’t as easy as it sounds, as you can’t get up, only controlling your seat with your legs. You can kick the left or right leg to move forward with a push from that direction, and you can also apply the brake with both legs, too. This results in some challenging movements, as it’s not always simple to go exactly where you want to go with this imprecise movement. Still, it’s good for a laugh.
The trouble gets compounded as three other people all work to do the same job, each of them flailing around the office. You need to get into the elevator to start your day, then hop on the office phone and speak with clients. You make points for being the first in the elevator, then increase your bonus for every second you;re on the phone. Other players can bump it out of your hands, so you need to stay away from them as they bounce around the office. Just try to stay away from the windows as you do it.
Chair Up! manages to actually make office work entertaining, using goofy physics to make for a silly scramble to go about your work day.
Chair Up! is available now on itch.io.
