You Suck at Parking is the world’s most EXTREME parking game, and the only racing game where the goal is to stop (eventually). Drive, drift and park in this simple and accessible yet challenging game where parking is more important than your driving skills. Collect cars, learn new mechanics, challenge the world and customize your ride in this ever-evolving parking simulator. To get a better feel, take a look at the trailer here!

You can play on Steam, on Nintendo Switch, on Playstation 4, on Playstation 5, on Xbox, and in the GamePass.

Warm-up your keyboard or fetch a controller and fill all the parking spots on each level. Keep an eye on the time and your fuel gauge. You have an unlimited number of vehicles at your disposal so respawning when something went wrong is encouraged! Remember that stopping is parking and.. there is no reverse ;)
You can get started with your next car at any point. While trying to beat leaderboards, you should remember that. 

Happy Volcano has a team of 20 dedicated and talented game devs. And a few pets that love crashing Zoom meetings. Learn more about the studio here.

You'll be able to customize the vehicle of your choice in the main game at launch with plenty of cool options to park or crash.. but always in style. From paint to attachments and even your own explosion style: boom! 

We post them at every new release both in our Discord and in a Steam update. 

When troubleshooting issues we can request certain information to try and provide more clarity, such as device specifications, or little files that can be really handy for us to spot the nasty bug that's messing with you. 

Here are a couple of guides to get those files when support is asking for it in order to help you: 
 

Dxdiag report

The DxDiag report helps to check for hardware, software, and drivers you're using.

How do I obtain a Dxdiag report?

1. Press keys [Windows] + [R]
2. Type "Dxdiag" and click [OK]
3. In the Dxdiag window, click [Save All Information]
   • Click [Run 64-bit Dxdiag], when available.
4. Name the file "Dxdiag_report" and click [Save]
5. Send the report via Discord or E-mail

Player.log file

The player.log file contains some information about what was happening in the game when it was running. It can sometimes lead to precious answers when troubleshooting issues.

How do I obtain a player.log file?

1. Press keys [Windows] + [R]
2. Type "%APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Happy Volcano\YSAP" and click [OK]
3. Locate the Player.log file.
4. Send this file via Discord or E-mail

When launching an Online Game from the main menu, you enter a lobby along with 8 other players. You may need to wait a bit in the lobby for other players to arrive, but you can see how many other players are waiting. Once everyone is parked in the lobby, the countdown to start the match appears.  Each round, be the quickest to complete the level by parking on every spot as fast as possible to get a good rank. The fastest parkster on all rounds wins! 

You Suck at Parking™ is currently available for Xbox, Steam, Playstation and Nintendo Switch players, and handles crossplay between those platforms. This means you can encounter console players in your Multiplayer match if you're on Steam, and vice versa. That counts for single-player leaderboards too.  

However, friend parties won't be cross-platform: you can create a room with people on the same platform, and that room can match players with different platforms.

Experience points (XP) are earned throughout the whole game (Single player and Multiplayer). In the campaign, XP is limited. Once you’ve perfected all levels, you won’t receive any XP anymore by replaying the campaign. In the online mode, XP is unlimited.

XP will automatically be spent simultaneously on your player level and Parking pass progression. It is not split in two, it will just add the numbers on both fronts.

NB: In private matches, you won’t ever earn XP to avoid farming. 

XP in the Campaign (singleplayer)

There are two major ways of earning XP in the campaign. The first one is just parking as many cars on as many levels as you can. Improving your score of x/x cars parked in a certain level will ultimately decide how much XP you are granted. It’s all about improving your score on a level until you’ve managed to park your cars in all spots. Not every parked car will give you a reward: only those that improve your existing score. Besides completing levels at your own pace, you can also perfect levels, which is using as many cars as there are parking spots. 
 

The Maths

1. You’ve played the level “Crosstown traffic” and you’ve managed to park all cars compared to your previous run where you only got 2 p-spots. Therefore you’ll be rewarded XP for 1 extra p-spot and for completing it (2). The base reward is 250 XP for an extra spot and 500 XP for “completing” the level.

2. You’ve managed to “Perfect” the level “Frogger" in this run. Let’s say you didn’t put down a score the last time you played it. So your reward will be XP for 3 extra p-spots, completing AND perfecting the level all at once. That would be 750 XP for the p-spots, 500 XP for completion, and 500 XP for perfection. 

3. In another example let’s take a look at what happens if you just park two cars, and it’s the first time playing this level. Well basically you just get XP for two extra parking spots and that’s it.

4. Then there's the difficulty multiplier. This is a system used for making sure that you get roughly the same amount of XP per hour. The idea behind it is that harder levels will require more time to complete, thus taking longer to receive the same amount of XP as easy levels. The difficulty multiplier attempts to solve this issue. Harder levels will get a higher multiplier, multiplying your total score of that run by 2 and up to 7.

⚠️ We discovered a bug in mid-October that impacted the difficulty modifier, canceling it completely for some players. We fixed it a few days after but were unable to offer a solution to those impacted. This can cause some differences in the total XP  between players who completed the game.
