If you have been with AppleiPhoneSchool for a while now (like since back in the day!) this application probably rings a bell…you might even remember it because it is one of FAVORITE iPhone games…I have loved it since the first time I played it on my first gen 1.1.x iPhone (I know you loved it too!)!!!

For those of you who do not know, ParkingLot has made it’s way from the jailbreak scene to the App Store scene. Honestly, not a lot has changed from when it was a jailbroke app…the graphics looks very similar.

The object of the game is to get your little yellow car out of the parking lot. You do so by moving the other cars out of the way. To make things even more difficult, the cars can only move the direction in which they are pointing.

At the top of the screen, it displays how many moves you have made, the Puzzle Pack you are in, the Puzzle number you are on (within that pack), your record number of moves for that particular puzzle and the difficulty level of the puzzle. You can navigate through the 12 different pack and over 450 puzzles using the buttons on the lower menu bar.

One thing I like about this game is that once you exit the parking lot, you will get a pop-up displaying how many moves it took for you to get your car out of the parking lot and what the record number of moves is for that puzzle!

This is highly addictive game that will supply you with hours of fun…definitely one you will keep going back to and most definitely worth the $0.99 price tag!

ScreenShots

Once you have opened the app, you will notice that there is a new information section at the top of the screen. Here you are given information about the puzzle you are playing. The information section displays how many moves you have made, the puzzle pack you are in, which puzzle you are on in that puzzle pack, your record and the difficulty of the puzzle you are current playing. You will also notice a new lower menu bar. When you open the app the options are; Packs, Puzzles, Reset and About. If you select Packs, you can then choose to go to the Previous Pack or the Next Pack. At this time, there are two packs available, Athens and Bangkok. Each of the packs contain 40 puzzles. If you select the Puzzles options, you can then go to the Previous and Next Puzzle within the pack. You can tell which pack and puzzle you are currently on in the information at the top of the screen. I also noticed that you can only go forward five, then you will get a pop-up saying you need to solve a puzzle before you can go any further.

When you clear a puzzle (get the yellow Bug out of the parking lot) you will get a pop-up displaying which puzzle was just cleared, how many moves it took to clear the puzzle and what your record moves for that puzzle are (the lowest number of moves it has ever taken you to clear the puzzle). You are also given the following options; Next Puzzle, Play Again and Minimum Moves. The Minimum Moves option will take to you a webpage that will display the lowest number of moves that have been discovered for that puzzle. It is pretty interesting! I seriously love this app!! It is one of those that I play for like WAY too long before actually writing the article about it!! ParkingLot is available through the FreeMyiPhone source.

Note: There is also a new icon…subtle changes but still new none the less.
