I like this game because you are a car parking manager and you can upgrade your parking spaces, paint parking bays, and build lots of facilities including an underground car park. The maximum level is 8, and you can hire staff to help you."
"The bugs I see in the game are:
Cars stacking on top of each other
Cars crashing into each other and getting stuck
Cars flying

Good tycoon game. Played for achievements tbh. Not really realistic. Surveillance cameras are for show, and can only be put on the ground level parkade, not the second floor or lower levels.
NOTE TO EVERYONE: Don't put any streetlights on the 2nd level. Developer put the predetermined spots in the way of the cars, so it bugs out the game, and then you'll have to fix it every two minutes. Just afk after this, and ez 100%.

It's a fine enough game.
There's some issues I'm having, and It doesn't seem like they'll be addressed.
You have one trash can on the entire map. It acts like a black hole, sucking up trash as it's dropped elsewhere. But once it's fully, which doesn't take long at all, trash is dropped all over the parking garage. Mid to late game, the hired on cleaner can't keep up.
When you hire help you can only hire one person per role. One security guard, one cleaner, you get it. When you're mid to late game the security guard can't keep up. Nor can the cleaner if you have even a single vending machine or hot dog vendor set up.
But the upgrades progression feels.. Comfortable. I don't like that there's no upgrade to you, the player character. Only being able to carry four parking space awnings isn't a challenge, it's a time sink. Having a weight limit at all feels pointless. If there was a way to upgrade your physical abilities, like walking speed and carrying capacity, the limit would at least have a function. At the moment it's just something to live with.
At a certain point your wealth out progresses everything else. Not a bad thing, the goal is to make money. But some other upgrades to fill out what you can do would be nice. Like an autopay gate so drivers don't have to pause to pay a ticket fee. The ability to hire on more help, like 2, 3, or 10 cleaners/security guards each shift to keep up with the size of our parking structure.
More of a minor annoyance, but street lights need to have their collision turned off for now. Cars on the upper deck will slam into them and cause a huge pileup if you're not paying attention or idling the game. There's a lot of jank issues with vehicles but most don't cause permanent pileups that the player has to address.
For some suggestions as a player who loves the game; Fences might be better used to funnel baddies instead of being something they have to drop kick to get through. Then a single security guard would make sense, and would be worth having on the payroll. He could stand guard at a pedestrian entrance so bad folks never make it in. Could make the security guard much more expensive then as well.
Being able to upgrade or add more trash cans would be a treat. But that seems to be a common request amongst players and I don't know if coding that would break something or cause other issues. So I'll assume it's something that might be getting work on. Trash is just so annoying, and like with the carry weight. Not really a challenge.
If we had more ways of dealing with trash then I think our 'popularity' could scale the amount of cars that would want to park in our garage. So in late game you would have a reason to hire a cleaner(s) to keep you popularity high and cars moving through.
Small aside, maybe porters could have another function. Once you get the automatic gate there's no sense in keeping them around. But if they somehow were able to manually fix car pileups or assist with security or cleaning they'd be worth hiring in the mid to late game.
There's Z fighting near the back of the property between the ramps to the lower level that's a bit of an eye sore. Sometimes the security guard will get frozen in place, which is frustrating. Though the next shift guard still arrives so it's not a permanent issue.
Overall a 6/10 game. I love playing it as a low stress simulation type game. I think $13 is a pretty tough sell given the issues listed above but if development, bug fixes, and support continues it can easily be a 9/10 from me.

I would like to recommend this game but my play through had some bugs where the car thief was taking a part the car while it was still driving and i couldn't see him. So this game is gonna be rated as a No and Yes due to it still being a nice style game with alot of stuff to learn and challenges to take on. But in the end there are still to many bugs that i think need to be looked at. So its just one of those games to play at your own risk and i hope they could of added a multiplayer mode to make it more of a challenge.

Good time burner. Only about an hour or so before there is nothing left to do in game at time of review. So very short play through.

it's fun but the biggest issue with this game is the traffic. once you have your lot fully (or almost fully) upgraded cars start piling up on each other and creating traffic jams, the constant honking is really annoying :P
your parking lot should be able to have two points of entry and exit. that would help with the traffic issues

It's all fun and games until you get the second parking lot. Then you can either choose to lose reputation because of constant littering or to lose money, because you are not fast enough to get the money from your clients. When you don't have collect litter (which is rarely the case) you have to run after graffiti sprayers or car thieves. You never have time to take a break, the game keeps you on your feet constantly.
