You Suck at Parking challenges us from the very beginning. It’s not a question, it’s a statement: we don’t know how to park, and the Happy Volcano game wants to see if we can deny it. The game is basically divided into two levelsIt is collected in thematic areas, arranged in turn on islands and archipelagos, and must be unlocked by successfully completing various challenges.

Every level is on us park our car, usually three or four times at various points on a route. catch? First of all, we will not go easy because our vehicle has low fuel. Also, even if we have an infinite number of cars to drive, there is a maximum time to place a vehicle in each available parking lot.

Completing the areas will be easy enough at first as the dangers are low, but the main goal is not just to complete the level, but to do it without wasting a single car. For get max rank even two, three or more vehicles must be parked one after the other in their respective spaces without error. This means that if a single attempt fails, you have to start over. Phases are thankfully very fast and each attempt takes a minute or two, thus creating a loop of failures and lightning-fast reboots.

It won’t be complicated at first, but gods will be added with each new area dangerslike railings that blow us up, trampolines that throw us, turbos that risk derailing us, mines, search bombs, giant boxing gloves pushing us. Every few meters there is something that can help us or tear us apart. Variety is good in this sense, with constant surprises that allow developers to indulge in the structure of the roads.

In the beginning we will only have to deal with tight bends and some cliffs, but forward we will have to do all the segments in flight, trying to land in a narrow space to find the last parking spot. Each area contains several ways to reach the rest areas: there are clearly visible paths, but there are several. shortcutsit’s obviously harder to travel, cut short and save time.

You Suck at Parking recommends medium high difficulty and a cartoon should be imagined more like a Super Meat Boy than Forza Horizon. In Happy Vulcan, you die over and over while trying to learn to do the specific move required for victory.

Right now You Suck at Parking has a good offer level amountIf you try to get the maximum rating out of each, it can sit quietly for about ten hours. Additionally, each setting has its own world ranking based on the time it takes to finish a course: if you like racing, you’ll have to play each level over and over.

fail in the company

You Suck at Parking also offers one multiplayer mode, which puts us in competition against seven other players and asks us to go to the parking lot first. It’s a different way of approaching the same game, with everything much more chaotic and more like a party game where you want to laugh than get record-breaking results.

Additionally, a season pass system: By playing the various missions of the single player campaign and playing in the online multiplayer mode, you upgrade and unlock most of the aesthetic content that is blocked after paying the premium pass (11 Euro). There is also a shop where you can buy cosmetic ingredient packs currently ranging from € 1.99 to € 6.99.

It’s an economical system that we find a bit overwhelming for this type of paid game, but we can consider it a way to help the developers. support development after release: You Suck at Parking will actually get new routes in free format over time. We’ll have to see if the content arrives quickly enough for him to become a regular member of regular and weekly player games, but it’s certainly a good premise that it will entice more players to buy.

We close by declaring that visual side You Suck at Parking didn’t particularly surprise us: a little more character would also help satisfy the eyes. However, the action on the screen is always on, and the interface does its job, which is already a good result. The soundtrack is nice too, especially the endlessly repetitive chorus of female voices with a funny drama (in a good way).
