Nice little tycoon game, it got fun when there was too much to manage but too a while to get to that point. Would have been better if the cars queued up. Loved the music and the graphics, overall great game.

@duckydaniel Yeah, I struggle with the balancing the most. :D In EVERY LD. But I wanted it to be playable by any skill level.. My Girlfriend struggled from the start :D. But thanks for the feedback (:
Graphics really are not my thing and audio went quite well I'd say (:

Cool idea. I got hooked, but for some reason I couldn't drop cars on the washing spot after buying a lot. Also the next button is off screen. Only tried the web version tho, might work fine in the win build.
You should look into building a mobile version. Super game for crapper time. >

@lars-erik Thanks for the feedback (: I always stuggle with the UI stuff but thanks for the headsup. :v:
You should be able to drop then if they have the washing symbol above their head.

Overall a very nice game. I am gald that it's on web so I don't need to download anything. Music is my favourate part. The tempo of the game is great. Would be much nicer if the game has some time limit or goal to achieve, it provides me a direction or something to achieve. That being said, I like the game. Well done man

Not a bad effort. A bit faster paced than what I usually enjoy playing, but I still had fun.

I'd like it better if dropping a car had a bit more tolerance to it, i.e. they'd snap into place. Also some arriving and leaving animations would do a lot. Currently when you drop a car on the exit, the way it vanishes is a bit distracting for me.

Very nice game! I love how it starts out really relaxed, then gradually becomes more frantic to the point where you're moving your mouse so fast that you can't keep up, then you realise "Aarrgghh, I need more parking spaces" Just overall it was an incredible game.

In terms of criticism, the only thing I think to say is to use less colours when spriting the cars, but that's about it! Great Job!

A really good game! Some points tho; the UI is a bit buggy (out of the screen) and also the "drop after service zone" could be a bit more clear but overall it's really good, nice graphics and audio and the game mechanics themself, well done.

Agree with all the others.
My biggest issue was I could not drop the cars to the washing spot, once unlocked.

Nice soundtrack. Kind of fills the gap left by missing animations.

Still looking forward if you keep on with the game. It has some potential as a mobile time killer.
Lipschauthor14 Aug 2018, 03:33
@frank-gevaerts Actually the should snap into place as long as your cursor is inside the parking lot. And arrive/depart animations would have been great, you're right!
Lipschauthor14 Aug 2018, 03:34
@speedysloth99 Thanks for the kind words (:
I'm just a programmer. I never no art. So I'm pretty happy with the outcome ^^. But thanks for the feedback.
Lipschauthor14 Aug 2018, 03:36
@artbohr Yep, noticed the UI problems as well.. Maybe try the Windows Version :p

For the departure zone I should have left some markers on the ground, you're right.

Thank you (:

Great game. It was very intense at the start, but I enjoyed it a lot! There were some minor UI mishaps, but the game play was very fun and the music suits the game very well! One suggestion would be to add some sort of indication of where the exit is on the road. But overall, great game!

This was fun to play and strangely satisfying! Clever take on the theme and keeps you engaged by always having something to do. I especially liked how the sound effects had a similar key and style to the music so it sounded nice and smooth. A bit of a bug: after you lose you can still place cars and buy spots until the cars stop coming. Anyway well done. -RS

Pretty good! I liked it, it's such a well done game, I liked the music, and enjoyed playing it. Also it's a good idea and it fits the theme perfectly. Congrats!

Nice game! The tutorial is perfect! Explained really well what to do. The music is catchy, and the SFX really helps in telling if a car is ready to leave. Graphics are simple but effective. The only downside is that I couldn't tell when I would lose (when the queue was more than 3 cars?). Well done!!

This was a very fun game, good music as well, gameplay worked just like it should and the sound indicators were very helpful. To improve it more, some more visual "juice" would be appropriate!
Weine15 Aug 2018, 19:39
Wonderful little puzzler. I found the balance a bit lacking - first it was too easy for several minutes, and then suddenly all the cards at once. Also small drive-in and drive-out animations would have been nice.
But for a compo entry, this was fantastic!

I enjoyed this. I've never played this sort of management game before. It was a clever idea & nicely paced.
Lipschauthor16 Aug 2018, 04:52
@drtizzle Yep, forgot to mention that in the tutorial. When there are 3 cars waiting and the fourth arrives you lose. thanks for the kind words (:
Lipschauthor16 Aug 2018, 04:56
@weine The balance was a bit off, yeah. But I tried giving everyone a chance ;). It should smoothly get harder not suddenly. Maybe there went something wrong 🤔
And some visual pep would have been awesome, you're right ^^

Great audio and sound cues, as well as the flashing circles that turn red so you know when you're about to lose. Nicely done. I do wish there was a scoring system at the end! I ended with 50 money and all but 1 parking space purchased. Not sure how good that is.

By the way the music was fantastic.
Lipschauthor17 Aug 2018, 05:49
@eric-smith Thanks for the feedback (: @jamison I guess youre scrore is pretty good. I got myself at 2700 money and all spots purchased :p However.. I'm the dev, so that's normal, right? :p
Shozou17 Aug 2018, 14:09
Hey, nice game! I liked the fact that there were sound cues for when things were finished, still, after you get chain of few of them in a row, it's hard to distinguish where the things happened. Perhaps each of the zones should have different sound cue for things being finshed? Also, sorting layers seem to not be setup right. Could be a fun mobile game with some polish. :D Thank you for your work!

I have a bug to report: When you restart the game, the price to unlock doesn't reset, so it became impossible to reasonably buy spots after I restarted. That aside, I think the visuals look nice and the sound was clear and fitting. I liked the mechanics, though I do wonder about what's going on here. People seem to drop off their cars to be parked at a place here. This makes sense for the mechanic and the car wash, but for food, do they just not want to deal with parking?

Awesome game! I really dig small managing games like this. It's quite addictive. :)
The balancing feels good, too.
Not really a bug but I noticed that I could still play the game, after i've lost. ^^
