I like the game, but I do not find how it is related to the theme
@fermingimpel Wow, thanks for the nice comment! And I want to explain about the topic. We just didn't have time to make levels of the right length and you were playing tutorial short levels. A little later we will add levels correct and they will be played for 10 seconds. We decided to look at the theme from this angle and unconventionally implement the mechanics
It's a pity you guys didn't get there in time, but the game seems to have the capacity to make a lot of interesting levels, I'll be waiting for an update, meanwhile I'll save it on Itch.io!
This is a super interesting puzzle game! I wish it didn't fully kick you out after 3 failures but I can see how the level could break with enough uninterrupted tries. Not a theme-compliant game but that's okay!
You should check the game "You suck at Parking"
This is actually a very stressful one :sweat_smile:
@lightterradog And do you think that's okay, or should we make levels easier?
Very interesting gameplay mechanics.. this was lots of fun. Also art fits really well. Well done!!
Awesome, and I love the 10s implementation. The variable control and tracking the progress of previous attempts, plus being able to cancel a doomed run: I don't think it would have been as fun without some of those features. It really helped give feedback on the puzzle aspect. Really fun, I just want more levels. Great job!
Really well-done game. I enjoyed the levels a lot, I don't really know where new mechanics/interactions go from here but I'm excited to see. I like how you kept the UI and all really clean, it made it very readable.
I really loved this one! It's tough but doesn't feel annoying, it was really fun. I thought the "you can hit cancel to not get penalized" thing would be overpowered, but I still managed to lose a few times. I loved how it showed you where the car was on the ground after every turn, too. Everything felt like the perfect balance of difficulty and quality-of-life features
F.PNG man this game is challenging, I love how you managed to make a 3d game run smoothly on the browser while many other simple 2d games insist that you download a native build to play.. anyway the gameplay is really fun, the game is easy to understand which is a big plus. also I don't know if this counts as an exploit but you can avoid loosing by hitting cancel right before the car hits an object, leading to potentially infinit tries lol
Super fun and creative controls ! It's a really fun game, I could see myself play that on the metro :D I found a bug though where I managed to move the barriers and then get locked

But other than that great stuff, keep it up !
I love the idea, and it plays really well!
I am not too fond of resetting the input after X attempts (I ended up cheating and snipped my inputs to make it through the last few levels). I don't think a hard limit is needed at all. I would prefer (and think it would be more accessible) if there was an optional scoring system that just tells you how great you are, for making it to the parking space in less than X attempts.
Overall though, I really enjoyed it!
Am I missing something or is there no audio at all? Definitely think you should be opting out for audio in that case :smiley:
very unique and fun to play !
Unique gameplay! Shame about no audio, but is no big deal. Super fun and clever way of integrating the theme, moving the car a certain way every second is briliant. As others have said, tough but not in an annoying way. Good job! :v:
A really unique way to drive a car! I love the mechanics! You guys have an excellent puzzle game here! I would love to see this concept developed into a full release!
Wow. Seems so simple but it's a ton of fun. Great job!
Brilliantly unique, great job!
This game I think is my favorite so far, great twist on the theme!
Cool concept and unique twist on a theme. I'm always fond of the games where you have to "program" your actions. It's visually pleasing, but it's lacking sounds/music (or at least there were none for me). In terms of gameplay, the failure system feels like an unnecessarily implemented lives mechanics - I think it's not really needed for this type of game. You can work around it by pressing the "cancel" button before you fail, which, funnily enough, the game itself directly teaches you in the second level lol.
Overall, pretty nice entry.

Comrades, so much love and respect in your words! Thank you so much for that! That's why we make games! Because we love to play them and we love to be surprised!
Oopsie! But anyway what a small cozy puzzle game. Finish it and it might be a hit on mobile :smile: Love the minimalistic music as well!

A simple but unique concept well executed! I found the numbers on the ground very helpful, though I was a bit unsure initially if this indicated my position at the start, middle, or end of the second.
It took me a little bit to realize for the last level that there were speed bumps messing with the timing, and that super-sharp turn in the previous level was a challenge as well.
This is an impressive little game. Great polish, and really innovative mechanics. I am very much afraid of driving though so it gives me a bit of anxiety xD
Had fun playing this game. Why is there a wheel on the second 0? I really liked the lerp between poses which simulate a bit the wheel rotation latency.
THIS IS SUCH A WONDERFUL GAME! I love it so much that it's my personal favorite so far. I really enjoy the casual vibe but the underlying elegant level design and mechanics works so well too. The ambient sound which involves occasional flies and birds' sounds create such an atmosphere. The art style is also amazing! Good job!
Wow, this is a really cool game. Interesting mechanics and well done levels, great job!
my favourite game！
the idea is excellent! it felt like a very polished game, this is quite amazing for a jam!
unfortunately the theme was not really used, but apart from that, the game is really fun and original. and challenging haha!
Very very cool game!
I could imagine this as a mobile game for spare minutes! Some more levels and good to go! Also the game felt quite polished yet simple. Very good job!
Whooaa it's so cleaver I wish I had think of that ^^
The fact that you can change the environement for futur try's is very cool and addapting course during run time is very nice too !
Cool little puzzler. Had a lot of fun for it. Looks and sounds pretty good as well. Well done. Good entry.
Very addictive! I would love to play with various vehicle models like trucks, tractors... The audio adds to the experience! Excellent entry!

Wow, this is quite a unique game. Really cool idea! Pretty good graphics and audio too. Not sure if intentional, but obstacles don't reset their positions after you collide with them, which can mess up your route that was previously working. Really loving the game and I think you should keep developing it.
Wow this is a load of fun. I want more levels! The feedback loop is awesome. I made many predictions that were right about where I'd end up, but the incorrect selections were hilarious!
Cute puzzle game, with a minimalist charm to it. Music was quaint and the engine sounds were perfect. Part of me wished for a few more puzzles by the time I finished.
This game was surprisingly awesome!! I really felt like I was the Waymo car.
Very creative! I thought it would be really difficult but it got easier with each attempt exactly as it should have. Challenging and yet easy to understand. Well done!
Its a nice cozy puzzle game. Easy to learn, but its gets really difficult. Its really polished and the graphics are well done! I like the cute style and the feedback you give the players for their actions. I guess you could release it for mobile thats how good it is :)
Very cool entry, fun and challenging, good work 😀👍
Really neat concept. It's well polished too ! You've nailed the play flow with simple mechanics (like the previous track of your car divided in seconds, showed by the grey points). I had fun playing this game ! Wish there were more :smile:
Really nice i love :D
What a charming game, and an original concept, I do hope you continue to produce this past the compo/jam, as it's such a refreshing gameplay style. The sliders are super intuitive, and the puzzle element is excellent. If you're going on to model realistic akerman steering physics, then you could maybe train a whole new generation of parallel / reverse parking experts ahaha. :grin:
For the messages, I don't know if they changed based on how accurate I was, but definitely would love , ( 1 ) more stats , and ( 2 ) a view from inside car / replay from different camera angles, since you have such cool models, the zoomed out mode feels like a waste. :smile:
Also, again, if you continue to build, different vehicle length / steering models would be cool ( or vs mode haha :grimacing: )
Wow, great idea and plays really well! It's pretty tough at the start, but with a bit of practice it gets easier. I also like the graphics and sounds. :thumbsup:
Love the game.But I never felt the 10-second restriction.
It's incredible how well this captures the experience of learning to drive and park. It feels pretty natural to me now, but this game reminds me of the days where it was alien and confusing. My brain had so much trouble translating the left and right wheel movement to the car movement and turns. This control scheme feels like an incredibly faithful translation of how it felt to control a car before it became comfortable. Then you've captured the vibe of trying to practice parking even better. I love how the cancel and limited crashes mechanic encourages you to be overcautious, just like in real life where you are terrified of hitting something. I love how the only way to build an understanding of the relationship of your input and how the car turns is through practice. I'm terrified of this game but with a level that has you reversing.
This game makes me feel less alone, because I know someone else understands the exact way I struggled with learning to park. Oh yeah and the graphics and polish are great. I adore how the consequences of crashes are persistent on the environment. As far as fun goes, it's cool to experiment with how you should make complex turns to arrive at your parking spot, but it ends up feeling pretty tedious. This feels like an overall positive to me though because it contributes a lot to the experience this game communicates
Really cool game. It's a lot of fun to play and is really well designed. Nice work.
This is a very high quality jam entry! Great graphics, good sounds and very fun gameplay. I like small details like steering wheel turning when you are setting it to the left or right. I would consider releasing this for mobile after jam, since this would be a very fun to play on it too!
I loved the concept, the decomposition of the 10 seconds is really well thought and the UI is super intuitive. Congratulations!
Unique and interesting game mechanic! Made me think about a belgian game : You Suck At Parking. Not at all the same pacing tho. Good work!
That was fun! Reminds me a lot of some of the Flash "park the car" games I used to play, but with a very neat twist! Well executed concept too, once I realized there were markers on the ground to help guide my corrections it felt much more strategic, nice entry!
I really liked the game. It's cute, challenging and quite fun ! I sadly don't think it suits the game jam theme at all, but it was still an enjoyable experience !
Keep up the good work :smile:
