Parking Way
What is this game?
Parking Way is a creative casual puzzle game that blends line-drawing mechanics with parking planning. Unlike traditional driving sims, you don't steer or accelerate. Instead, you play the role of a 'traffic planner'. Your finger is the pen, drawing perfect routes for multiple cars on screen to their matching colored parking spots. Designed for players who love spatial planning, coordination, and seeking a slightly brain-teasing experience with zero mechanical barrier to entry. Each level is a mini traffic-control puzzle, usually taking just dozens of seconds to solve.
How to Play
The gameplay is highly intuitive and fun. On screen, you'll see several differently colored cars and empty parking spots marked with matching colors. You drag your finger across the screen, starting from a car, to draw a line connecting it to its corresponding parking spot. You must draw a route for every car on the board. Once all routes are drawn, all cars will simultaneously start and drive along your drawn trajectories to their destinations. Your goals are: 1. Every car must park accurately in the color-matched spot; 2. During the drive, no two cars can collide with each other, nor hit walls or other obstacles. If a crash occurs, you must redraw the lines.
Beginner Tips
- Look at the whole board first: Before drawing, carefully observe the positions of all cars and spots. Mentally outline their general paths and see which two cars' routes are most likely to intersect.
- Use detours to avoid crashes: When two routes must cross, don't draw straight intersecting lines. Make one car intentionally take a big detour (a longer route) so that by the time it reaches the intersection, the other car has already passed.
- Draw the most uncontested routes first: If a car is very close to its spot with no interference nearby, draw it first. This clears your mind to focus on solving the complex, tangled areas.
- Don't draw sloppily: Cars move strictly along your drawn path. If you draw a squiggly, snake-like line, the car will drive exactly like that, easily scraping a nearby car due to fishtailing.
- Mind the front orientation: The end of your line (at the spot) dictates how the car parks. Ensure your line smoothly guides the car into the spot, rather than parking it sideways across the lines.
Advanced Strategy
Mastering time differentials: Advanced levels guarantee 4-5 cars intersecting. You must master 'speed and time' control. Besides detours, you can intentionally delay a car's arrival at a crash hotspot by drawing 'S' curves.
Passing techniques: If two cars must pass in a very narrow corridor, draw one route hugging the absolute left wall and the other hugging the absolute right, achieving a near-miss through microscopic line control.
Utilizing terrain cover: Some maps feature large planters or buildings in the middle. Use these obstacles as 'roundabouts', routing different cars around different sides to naturally avoid collision risks.
Common Mistakes
Chasing the shortest straight line: Habitually drawing the shortest straight path for every car, resulting in four cars colliding precisely in the dead center of the map in a horrific pile-up.
Ignoring vehicle length: When drawing crossing lines, assuming it's safe once the first car's front passes, only for the second car to slam directly into the rear of the first car (which happens to be a long truck).
Overlapping starting areas: In a crowded lot, accidentally letting the start of a line scrape the hitbox of an adjacent car, causing system confusion or an immediate crash upon starting.
Who is this game for?
Parking Way is highly suitable for players who love 'strategizing and planning'. It demands extremely low mechanical skill (just drawing lines) but requires spatial imagination and time coordination. Perfect for kids developing their minds or adults killing time.

Draw In
Also a casual puzzle game based on the 'line-drawing' mechanic. Though the goal is solving physics puzzles rather than parking, the feel of controlling line trajectories is similar.
Flight Control
The spiritual successor to this classic. In Flight Control, you draw lines to guide planes to runways without crashing. Parking Way perfectly inherits this core joy of multi-line coordination and collision avoidance.
Park Master
A competitor game with an extremely similar name and gameplay, also involving swiping fingers to draw lines guiding colorful cars into corresponding spots.
