Chair Drift
Swipe a runaway office chair down a hallway, dodging rugs, pets, and water cooler puddles.
Chair rolls forward automatically; swipe left/right to weave past floor hazards and pick up energy drinks; hit a rug too hard and you wipe out in a slow-mo tumble.
One-thumb swipe left/right to steer the chair through an auto-scrolling top-down course.
Office-chair-on-wheels slapstick racing — lifts the visual gag from CHAIR Champions into a single-screen arcade run.
