Congrats for finishing your first LD and yay for fellow Lovers! :)

The concept is good and there's potential for a good game in here if you keep working at it. I'm interested in seeing where you can take this. :)

really awesome. really neat idea please add more levels

Well done on finishing it! The physics worked very well, and I liked the sound effects.

I was surprised to see that I could park the car at any angle within the marked bays; simply requiring thet the direction was correct would make the game rather more challenging!

Thanks @tombsar! I really enjoyed your entry and have left some comments. The reason that you can park at an angle is because of limited/tired abilities of three software engineers :P

Hah, not at all difficult but entertaining.

If you are going to continue this concept, check out micro machines. The game could benefit with something like MM's excellent 2D driving mechanics.

I spy with my little eye...a Dodge Viper.

Great job! The physics in this game are amazingly satisfying.

Sounds is nice.

It is a little short, but oh well.

Keep it up!

Really fun idea and the car controls were good. It was too short and easy though! I also agree with tombsar that it would be nice if there was a direction test.

If we all parked like this in real life it would really be ludicrous!

Congrats on finishing the LD! I think the idea could be really fun if you pushed the ridiculous factor a little more - make this kinda like the automobile equivalent of PAIN (for PS3, I think?) crossed with Neighbours From Hell or something... Nudge cars into roads to block rival parkers, smash through expensive crystal statues, have to park on top of the Statue of Liberty (and in order to do this, you have to parachute from the back of a cargo plane and bash other falling cars out of the way, etc...).

Which is all to say, liked the idea - now really go places with it!

Nice job. Could have used more pedestrians carmageddon style!

Fun game, though the reset doesnt actually reset the level. I featured it in a compilation video of Ludum Dare 27 games, if you would like to check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVjNz61S5Vg

Fun game, reset only reset the timer for me. Thought I would have to park in the right direction but I didn't. Game is a bit on the easy side without that. Like the graphics and the sound.

ashdnazg 2013-08-30 18:19

A bit too easy, perhaps should have been more strict with the positioning inside the parking space. Other than that, very good job!

parrotlord 2013-08-30 18:22

Reminds me of how people at my school park ahahaha

Congrats on first entry! I like the game, it seems really fun, but I wish there were better "good parking" detection ;) Good job!

rustyc 2013-08-30 20:07

Very nice, the car has a nice feel to it and the presintation was pretty good. I would have liked more levels but I understand the time limit means stuff gets cut.

imef 2013-08-30 20:14

Game is glitched but if polished it could be even better. :)

keyboardmonkey 2013-08-30 20:33

This game is very, very buggy but it kind of adds to the charm. And it is fun too. Keep developing it :D

ritzblues783 2013-08-30 20:49

I very much enjoyed this game. Very smooth controls with great physics effects. The concept is excellent. I only wish there were more levels!
