Extreme Car Parking is a parking game that tasks a player with successfully parking a car in lots across 20 levels. The player must also achieve three stars per level for a total of 60 stars throughout the entire game.
The game times how long it takes for the player to park the vehicle. They can take as long as they need, but they can only earn stars by completing each level within a certain number of seconds.
The player must complete one level to unlock the next one by parking the vehicle as quickly as possible in a parking space highlighted with a yellow-painted border and arrow. The game challenges them with a variety of obstacles from real-world driving and traffic scenarios, including barriers, hardscaping, sidewalks and traffic.
If the player hits any object, they crash and must replay the level. Beyond preventing crashes, they must also perform different types of parking, such as reverse and parallel parking. In some levels, they must also switch lanes in moving traffic and cross traffic.
Extreme Car Parking doesn't require the player to achieve perfect vehicle alignment, which makes this game different from a lot of similar parking games. Additionally, the player doesn't have to worry about earning any type of monetary awards or performing vehicle upgrades.
