Hi all :wave:
We have tried to make an autopilot simulator game for :blue_car: parking. This is a game about the harsh everyday life of engineers designing autopilots. The perfect combination of suffering and fun, we hope you enjoy it!
Every 10 seconds you park!)

Controls :scream: - Move the wheel icons on the bar with seconds to the right or left - Get to the parking space in 5 attempts
UPD: Sounds added

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
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 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!
Definitely think you should be opting out for audio in that case :smiley:
Overall, pretty nice entry.
Wow! 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!

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.
unfortunately the theme was not really used, but apart from that, the game is really fun and original. and challenging haha!
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!
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 !
Excellent entry!

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:
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: )
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
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:
