You drive them all. Plan ahead. Don't be late. In this small town, discover the characters and their secrets – what world-changing experiment is inventive dentist Dr Charles Schneider hiding? Will Mr Baker quit his job in advertising? What is that strange mask on Mrs Griffin's face? Will Mr Mayfield’s peculiar obsession with Yorkshire Terriers take over his life? Does Not Commute is playable at no cost and free from ads. An optional premium upgrade is available through a one-time in-app purchase that will enable the ability to continue from checkpoints.

Wheelcha is a 2D physics action rider game where a wheelchair rider races across glowing neon tracks. Control an automatically moving rider with simple touch input, adjust your angle in the air, and use the booster to clear ramps, gaps, and obstacles. The controls are easy to understand, but timing your jumps, managing boost, and surviving each level create a fast and addictive arcade experience. With a dark background, neon line tracks, and a stylish wheelchair rider, Wheelcha presents the wheelchair not as a symbol of limitation, but as the center of speed, motion, and action.

It transforms everyday experiences such as curbs, slopes, and movement barriers into a game about momentum, challenge, and moving forward. Features: - One-touch 2D physics riding - Neon wheelchair action gameplay - Tracks that become harder as levels increase - Boost-powered jumps and obstacle dodging - Coins, revives, skins, and booster upgrades - Fast mobile arcade play designed for quick retries Ride forward, fall, retry, and go farther.
