After rushing the tutorial I had to come back to read more carefully - worth it! It's really addictive and has nice uncomplicated layers of planning. The 1 hour launch is a great idea - as the overall concept is. I could imagine this to be a great touchscreen game :) Well done!"},{"author_name":"Chris Mondok","author_uid":"31703","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 3:00pm","epoch":1387205700,"text":"Thanks. It works on a touch screen, but it's much more difficult to avoid car collisions. With some tweaks, it might be good on a tablet, though."},{"author_name":"Tsumei","author_uid":"31720","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 3:01pm","epoch":1387205760,"text":"Um.. I can't get past the tutorial. I am not quite sure when you want me to have cars parked and when you want them to leave. This is in part due to not being used to AM\/PM and clockfaces to tell time (24 hour clocks here)\rBut also because I can't quite understand game mechanically how to make it "Parked" and whether there is any penalty from just keeping it on the "leaving" part.\rEven when it was on the "Leaving" part of the map though it still said "Car left in lot" and just stopped."},{"author_name":"Chris Mondok","author_uid":"31703","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 3:43pm","epoch":1387208280,"text":"Sorry about the PM bit, the theme is lost when your break is at 13:00 and not 1:00 PM. Parked doesn't mean anything. You could go ahead and leave all of your cars in the top row, but then it would fill up and you'd lose. When your car (white) comes back from lunch \/ the start of the day, you need to bring it to the bottom zone."},{"author_name":"timtipgames","author_uid":"15341","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 5:00pm","epoch":1387212900,"text":"That's the one thing that confused me most - the white car is not a regular car to be parked, it's my car."},{"author_name":"gusanolocovg","author_uid":"31285","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 5:27pm","epoch":1387214520,"text":"24 hour clock would have been better.

Long waiting at the beggining, help scrolling on the bottom and not clear at all "Car left in lot" msg made me feel lost. 24 hours for me, guy from Poland, would be better but I got the matter of "one" theme. You could also add numeric clock above - it's much clearer for me. Anyway - congratulation :)"},{"author_name":"Hypnohustla","author_uid":"20803","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 6:33pm","epoch":1387218480,"text":"Took me some time to understand what you're trying to do in the game.

When I started understanding the mechanics then it got really fun! You need to find a better way to explain it and you'll be golden :)"},{"author_name":"turnA","author_uid":"19248","time":"Dec 20, 2013 @ 2:13am","epoch":1387505280,"text":"The tutorial level should have more instruction in-game.
