Parking Paradise
A downloadable game
Background
Made for a university portfolio project. The concept for this project is to take the flash game parking genre and convert the 2D web browser style to a polished 3D game.
Features
- Five levels
- Plus bonus levels!
- Full native controller support for Xbox, PS4 and Switch Pro controllers.
- Save system
- Complete Discord integration.
- Michael Reilly's Putting Challenge cameo!
Future Plans
A future patch is expected in the coming weeks with some quality of life updates.
After that patch then the project is finished. If this project decides to continue development afterwards then expect to see in future updates: achievements, more levels, greater polish.
Final words
If you decide to play this game it would be very appreciated if you were to give constructive criticism in the comments, this is dire as it will make me a better developer in the future.
If you come across any bugs please tell me so I know what needs to be fixed.
Thank you for looking at my page, and I hope you enjoy the game.
*A controller is recommended for the best gameplay experience
**PS4 and Switch Pro controllers may require configuration via Steam or an external program for Windows to recognise them.
***It has come to my attention that the Switch controller will send random inputs through the controller. To fix this, the game has to be added as a "Non-Steam Game" via Steam.
**** Update Dec 24 2024: After 4 and a half years I have decided to remove game from download for several reasons, such as as it is no longer up to my current standards after plenty of experience in industry, as well as a rebrand of my online precense where I'm trying to make it detached from my professional profile and I can make a personal brand without my name and face. (Not trying to hide it, just don't want it to be front and centre). Keeping the page up for archival purposes.

Nobody has ever done a gameplay video of this in 2 years, so I shall.
I liked this game! It was fun to play, and super stressful just like real parallel parking!!! The only issue I had was that the night level seemed to be broken? I could never get the final park to trigger. (starts at around 7:41 if you want to see for yourself)
Thanks for making a video, and I'll look into that problem. 😇
i just downloaded this game and it won't open?? it keeps saying it "can't be opened" :(
Are you able to provide any screenshots?

i tried doing that but for some reason its still giving me the same error. i will keep trying though lol
Really enjoyable game - especially liked the bonus levels.
Only things I've found problematic though are:
- The car's behaviour when changing gears is odd - when changing gears I have to wait before then speeding up - otherwise it continues going fowards/backwards when I don't want it to.
- The parking space sometimes doesn't activate when I've parked in there.
Update: New video posted after playing the update - thank you for letting me know!
I think you have a great concept with a nice set of visuals that fit the game and genre. I imagine this would work fairly well as a mobile release, too. Best of luck on the rest of development!
Thanks for your kind words and going through the effort of making and editing a video. One thing I should point out which I didn't make clear in the game, the car has to be at a complete stop before you change gear but I'll make note of that in the update.
I'm hoping to release an update this weekend. :D
Thanks, Michael - appreciate the reply, and thanks for the clarification!
Update has been released.
