Wheels - Power wheelchair simulation training software and more!
Wheels is a fully immersive 3D action game, designed specifically for joystick and other alternative input devices. It is very forgiving, has incremental levels, fun monsters, great sound effects and music, and important feedback for power wheelchair training.
Features:
• Colors are bright and minimally-dithered, textures are clean, lines are thick; in other words, kids with visual disabilities or cognitive challenges can see and 'understand' the graphics.
• Mazes are 2 dimensional and easy to follow. Even adults like myself can play and win, but still have fun.
• 'Monsters' are 'evil' clowns and 'mad' robots. No blood. No gore. These monsters don't even scare 5 year olds!
• Weapon is a pie-gun, which shoots lemon merengue pies. Monsters shoot blue-berry pies at you. 1 shot 'creams' monster (no multiple direct hits necessary).
• Monsters' attacks are mild (compared to those games you buy at computer stores) so that almost anyone can play and win.
• As player finishes each maze, mazes get larger and monsters get more plentiful.
• 3 difficulty levels for each maze. User can select difficult themself by simply choosing one of three entrances. At each level, corridors become narrower, monsters become more aggressive, and game becomes more challenging.
• Setting is in a school, with recognizable objects.
• Great soundtracks, truly age-appropriate for teenagers.
• Designed originally for power-wheelchair/joystick training so when player hits walls/obstacles, damage is incurred (at Med and Hard difficulties).
• Control can be by: joystick, mouse, trackball, IntelliKeys, keyboard, Tracker, Headmouse, and other devices.
Works with: SAM-Joystick, SAM-Trackball, Keyboard, Mouse, or Intellikeys.
