Parking Masters is a game I made over a weekend for a friend's birthday. Said friend is fond of driving and once took a photo of his car parked very close to another which has become a running gag (many ridiculous photoshops).

I have turned the photo into a little arcade game/"very serious" simulation of parking in a manual car. I thought it would be a fun thing to do, turn a photo into some sprites for a PICO-8 game. Pleased with the results - photo-realistic action!

Controls

Up - gas pedal
Left and right - shift gear
X - Clutch
C - Brake

Park as quickly as you can, as close as you can! Try and avoid stalling and also from shunting the other car!

Genuinely funny - well done. Love the gfx too!

That's fun. Wouldn't it make more sense for down to be brake though?

Gotta be able to tip-knuckle, er, I mean heel-toe in a manual. ;)

Thank you both!

@Felice - I've updated it so that down is also brake. My brain is now fairly hardwired to use C/Z as brake, but it's an option now - it's like extra-hard-mode though! :D

Confession--no clue how to drive manual. Tried this earlier, didn't do so well. But then, just now, I stopped with no pixel gap and got a AA rank, haha! I have a screenshot but the BBS doesn't seem to want to accept the upload (I swear!).

Great looking/playing game, and hilarious concept!

@joseph3000, just AA? Try hitting an AAA (even if only out of pure luck). B-)

@joseph3000 - thanks! Also, this is very loosely based on a manual car, demaking one to a 6 button setup was a fun challenge.

@bekey - perfection, my friend Joe (who took the photo) would be proud! :D

@bekey lol
