Parking Jam 3D Reviews

by Jj75476

There’s a lot of ads, whatever, it’s a “free” app, there’s one particular ad for one particular game that I think is absolutely vile and I really wish there was an option to say I don’t want to see that particular ad again, but I just kill ParkingJam3D when it comes up. That’s all par for the course in this kind of game, but now for some reason I can’t play the challenge level that I messed up on because if you mess up you can only get another chance if you watch an ad, and when I try to do that *only to redo that challenge* the game tells me I have no internet connection, even though I’m streaming a show on my computer, even though I can leave the game and check my mail, browse the internet, go from page to page online, even though I can play regular levels in this game and still get the random ads that it just shows you without asking or offering anything for. Clearly I’m online, but every time I try to replay that level it still says I’m not. Glad I haven’t had this long or invested much time into it. It was an okay time killer while it lasted but definitely not worth fighting with.

Now when I press on your icon it starts to load up but when the line is completed my screen goes back to my home page so I can’t play at all!! Is that your answer to my plea for help? Thanks a lot ! I really did like your game. I was looking forward to playing the big parking jams which I never got to, even after playing over 800 levels!!!!!!!!! Now I guess since you won’t or can’t fix it I’ll have to delete the game I liked best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the second time I’m writing a review! The same goes as in the first! I press on your icon and the white line shows up when it stops the game doesn’t show up my home page does!!!
I did delete your game because of all the glitches now with the second game the glitches are happening again!!!!!! CAN YOU PLEASE FIX THIS GAME FOR ME SO I CAN PLAY AGAIN. I’ve been try for a few days now and haven’t been able to!!!!!!!! OR I’LL HAVE TO GET RID OF IT FOR GOOD!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t want to but if you don’t fix it I won’t have a choice. It upsets me to the point that my blood pressure goes up! That I can’t play it!!!!!!!!

This game is so much fun when you play the “challenges” I find them to be simple and relaxing but still super fun and challenging on the timed version to try to not make any mistakes and still get the cars out in time. The only reason this is a 1s is because the stupid regular levels in between the challenge levels.. you have to play 30+ of them every time you want to play a challenge level and that is absurd. They’re not challenging at all ever.. it’s not even calming to do when you can’t lose so you can just throw the cars wherever you want and you also can clear the whole lot within 1-2 seconds because of how easy they are.. if the devs can read and speak English then I implore you to take out the extremely boring levels and only offer the challenge levels or at least make it to where you can play the challenge levels at any time and you don’t have to do anything special to unlock it.. it’s so frustrating to play the regular levels when they’re not fun or relaxing at all. It’s far too simple even a toddler could do those.. fix it please.

My reviews were deleted three times c while I was writing them. I didn’t want to have mine deleted again, and the only solution I saw was to write it in my notes and copy and paste it into App Store. But besides that, I have plenty of complaints. First, what’s up with the challenge levels? Often when I try to take out a line of cars all at once, one or more will stop against a car that was long gone in the lanes. It uses moves, and especially in the hard levels when I have a limited amount of time, it’s very inconvenient. Second, there are way too many ads. After nearly every level, there’s an ad and even if I purposely quit a challenge level, an ad is there to say hello. And I’m definitely not paying for a mobile game I hardly play. Third, the people often pause when a car is still a good way away and wait for it to come to hit it. Finally, it’s not challenging enough. The normal levels only have a few cars to take out, and not even limited moves to do it. I can even just bump against cars and obstacles repeatedly to get coins from the missions. Adjustable difficulty would greatly improve this.
That’s my review, Parking Jam. Maybe on the next update you can make this worth my minimal storage space.

This game is okay for what it is, pretty mindless… the issue is the game has glitches. A.LOT! Some I can over look, like sure it’s annoying, but oh well. But some of the newer glitches are frustrating. The newest one came when the “hard” challenge levels were added. I paid the coins to unlock the level, check what the reward is, and get to playing. I went through 5-6 challenges and realized I’m actually losing coins even though I’ve beat all the challenges to that point. So I test it out, paying more attention. I unlocked a level for around 800 coins, reward says it 1300. So if I win the level, my coin amount should grow by 500. I played and beat the level on the first try, the reward pops up and says I’ve won around 570 coins. Umm… that’s not 1300. So I look at my count total and sure enough I’m down around 730 coins from before I unlocked the level. I play those to win coins, not lose them! Sorry for long winded review but this is the newest of a long list of frustrating glitches. I’m getting to the point I no longer enjoy it because it glitches or sets me back :(

Game is great fun, but there’s way too many ads, given how many bugs the game has: It’s entirely possible to accidentally double spend stamina to replay challenge levels. If you’re too fast moving cars around, the cars will crash into phantom cars and stop, using precious moves. Ads will frequently crash your game. Sometimes the game just moves cars random directions, once again, using precious moves. And so much more. Convenient that all these bugs just result in you watching more ads to give the developer money. Yawn. Hard Challenge trophies are not score based and are based entirely on RNG. I’ll play a challenge super terrible and get told “wow, you did better than 100% of all players, you get a gold!” And there’ll be other challenges where I’ll play my heart out and get told “you did better than 12% of all players, no trophy for you”. This is to, again, get you to watch more ads to beat a made up number. YAWN. I’m going to go out of my way to make a clone of this with zero ads and zero hostile design because the core design is fun but the implementation here is downright malicious. Trust the negative reviews here. Say no to hostile games.

This game could be great but as it is a 4 year old could master it. At level 900 the lots are the same as they were at level 1, 5-10 cars and no real thought to get them out. The challenge levels are fantastic, limited moves, tons of cars, takes some real thought to clear them.....only problem is you have to clear 30 mind numbing levels to get to them!! I have seen people complain about coins but if you build up the houses you get more coins than you could use!! By level 800 you have maxed out the houses, bought all the car packs, and earned all the sets, the only thing you’re still working on are the different people for your lots and those don’t cost coins just clearing so many challenges. The challenges cost coins to unlock but you should have more than enough to unlock them by the time you get to them. In the next update, if there is one, could you make the levels get increasingly harder to hold an interest between challenge levels!?! You could offer spare moves for coins or something just make it more difficult the further you go! This could easily be a 5 star game if the actual levels increased in difficulty the same as the challenge levels do!!

This is a relatively mindless game that is a nice break from the daily chaos. The challenges are really the only good part, and it’s nice that they can be replayed. A lot of people love the side game of building stuff, but that didn’t do much for me. In the beginning there were daily goals to earn a few coins, but those disappeared after about a week of play. I also noticed that the daily prizes for returning to the game still show up but stopped adding to the pot, so don’t count on them. Since they removed the daily goals and I can only get a few coins from each play (or by watching endless videos, too many of which are sexually explicit or inappropriate if your kids are nearby), there really isn’t much incentive to keep the game. The parking lot is the same two small, uncomplicated lots for each level of play, and that gets a little mind-numbing when you have to play 50 or 60 to earn a new competition. This could be better. That said, the graphics are excellent and at least they offer a good variety of vehicle styles for each game.

While the game itself is fine, I guess, it doesn’t take no for an answer when it asks you if you want to watch an ad for double the rewards. If you click to just continue, it will give you an ad anyways. Every time. On top of this, the extra coins aren’t really worth wasting 30 to 45 seconds for (depending on the ad), because, for the most part, they’re only really used to buy skins to change what the cars look like.

Every time you start a new zone, the starter puzzles are the same solution every time. No one is blocking anyone the first two puzzles of every zone, puzzles don’t get harder as you level up, and sometimes you’ll randomly get an ad anyways. I understand the developers need to make money to continue producing games, so it’s not the fact that it has ads that’s the problem. I will literally close out and reopen the game to continue playing rather then watching the ad if I didn’t agree to watch it.

This last part is kinda nitpicky, but I’m disappointed that the penguins aren’t animated on the ice map. They look like a bundle of garden gnomes, haha.

I really like this game. It has the potential to be much better. Here are some of the things that are causing me to play less.

-Although the levels do increase in complexity, that eventually stops and the levels go on forever still being extremely easy to clear. The normal levels should eventually reach the same level of complexity as the challenges or at least somewhere in between.
-You can only gain the additional skins, backgrounds, build towers for a while and then those options run out. After that you’re just collecting millions in coins with nothing to do with them. You’re eventually just playing one quick & easy level after another with no goals to work toward and they do not become anymore challenging. The Challenges that you can do from time to time do add a little excitement, but eventually they stop being challenging and you can easily clear those as well. Even when you do your prize is coins that you can’t use for anything.

by ButterflyKai

One part of this game is fun - the challenges. You actually have to think to clear these puzzles and they’re fun to play. You have to do 30 of the regular levels for each challenge. The regular levels are 7-10 cars and can be completed by a three year old. I did several not looking and just swiping my finger around. It becomes extremely tedious to do these levels so you can play the challenges. There is also a side game where you build hotels and they earn coins for you. I don’t see the point of it as there’s nothing to do with the coins once you’ve built the maximum. I’ve completed 200 challenges and am topped out. I have about 4 million coins to do nothing with. No new updates for two weeks. I give the challenges 5 stars, everything else zero stars. If the game was just the parking lot and an additional car or obstruction was added every 10 levels or so I think this game would be much better. For now I’m done.

by FleshyHeadedMonkey

The best thing that I can say for it is that it actually is the puzzle game that it shows you in the ads. If that sounds obvious, then you haven’t seen the rash of ads for games that pretend to be puzzle games but are actually base building PVP games using the bait and switch lure of simple puzzles in the ads (I’m looking at you, Evony and all the ...Scape games). In any case the problem with this game is that there is zero difficulty to it and it never really gets harder. There’s nothing to strive for, and it is absolutely full of ads. I prefer ads over in-app purchases as a monetizing strategy in these free-to-download games, because the ad-based games aren’t engineered to frustrate us into spending money. So kudos for that. And you can even skip some of the ads that you’ve already seen a bunch of times, so even more kudos for that. But the game itself, while initially kind of satisfying in a mindless doodle sort of way quickly loses its allure. Toss in a 30-second ad every two levels and it just becomes tedious.

by Gaimeegirl23

New update and all my progress on the hard challenges has been lost. I’m not going to unlock and play the 200+ rounds all over again. They were annoying enough the first time around.

Wow! Thanks parking jam. Do you delete all negative reviews after a while? We’ll see how long this one lasts since it’s not as negative as my origin review. I was enjoying this new update. I like that there are new harder challenge levels and the hearts/lives thing is pretty cool. What I don’t understand is the stupid time limit on the hard challenge level. Some of those levels take planning and you can’t do that in the insanely short time you give us. I had one level where I had to watch 4 ads to get an additional 15 seconds each. Especially since we have to wait until the pedestrian gets out of the way! That chews up time! Get rid of the stupid timer!!!!!! Also, what is the point of the building portion of the game other than to get coins? I don’t want a whole city of the same ugly gold building! I want to keep some of my buildings at a lower level and then move on to the next building, but you can’t! Every building has to be maxed out before you can build the next one. Then you can’t even edit a building. How ridiculous and boring! Not all houses are the same. That should be changed. There are still way too many ads. I don’t need an ad every two levels.

by SadCheesestick

The gameplay is fun, I do wish it were a bit more challenging though. The challenges are fun except for the fact I have to wait for all of the cars to get out of the way when they are driving because a car can easily bump into a car that’s waiting for other cars to pass and it wastes a turn. The fact that there is a coin system and a building aspect is nice. It’s a shame that is all you can do with the coins though. Most of the time spent in ParkingJam3D is ads, which is very unfortunate. I would have kept the game if ads weren’t played between almost every level, in order to collect skins, earn coins, upgrade the towers, and after every challenge level. It would be fine if they were all by choice but even with how much the game revolves around ads. But the issue is how it shows you it without asking first, and it’s necessary to the game. It feels like that’s the majority of the game. I uninstalled it due to this issue, even though it was rather fun. Quite a shame, honestly.

by Knickerzz

Why is level 1 the same as level 300? Seems the levels should get more difficult or larger….more cars..something with each level. This makes it sooooo boring. The only thing I enjoy are the challenges, but you have to play 30 or so boring level 1 games to get a challenge. The cars bumping into imaginary things or supposively bumping into a car that has long past left the area is very annoying on the timed harder challenges. It slows you in being able to move cars as quickly as you could without that stupid glitch and takes away from your total moves. Also, why take a full life even if you beat the level. Seems beating a level should keep that life like any other game, but instead you take it win or lose? So,e of the harder challenges have far too little time and you have to watch like 5 ads just to pass them. This game could be super fun. I see everyone complaining about the same issues. This could be up there with games like candy crush, but the annoyances make people want to stop playing.

by Bonechedda

I definitely enjoy playing this game. I love the challenges. The frustrating part are the levels. They don’t change. There is no challenge to them. You have to clear about 20 levels to play the challenging games. It is very boring to play those levels and it’s making me want to quit playing. It seems the levels should get more difficult too or at least chance the parking lot.!it’s the same screen over and over. They have great concept with this game it just needs some improvements. There are blinking exclamation points too that don’t go away. They want you to watch all the advertisements. Sometimes if I want to I do watch but most of the time I don’t. I am sick of them blinking at me telling me there’s something I need to do only to find out I need to watch 5-6 advertisements to get that to stop. No thanks! I don’t normally write reviews. This game has some really good parts. In this case I’m hoping the designers read the review and make some improvements, especially to the levels. If they don’t ever change I think eventually I will give up.

I love this game!! It’s relaxing and I play it every night. I like the twist of avoiding different pedestrians during the challenges - there’s only 2 irritations that drive me nuts … 1) when you send a car across the lot and the pedestrian is ‘hit’ (actually, they hit the car), they are off to the side of the car so they shouldn’t be hit; 2) when you send a car across the entire lot to time it so the pedestrian is passed the target area, the pedestrian stops, turns towards the car, and “gets hit”! Haha so frustrating 🤪. But, I still think this is a great game! The only COMPLAINT I have (which stops me from giving it 5 ⭐️) —> is that I downloaded the game on my tablet but later, also wanted it on my phone so downloaded it there too. Unfortunately, it does NOT sync so it put me at Level 1 on my phone when I’m at Level 2800+ on my tablet!!! Please fix this so it syncs across the devices!

by ACSyndicate

I like this game, but there are a few problems. Number 1: Getting the building to max level takes a while and I wish it only went to 15, but it’s something to spend your in-game currency on after buying all the skins for cars and buying challenge levels. Number 2: The challenge and boss levels are glitchy. To go more in depth, when the timer hits zero it doesn’t say you failed this level because you ran out of time. And your cars will sometimes go right through people and the pop-up won’t come up saying do not hit people! Now, these glitches don’t matter much to me because it makes it easier to complete the level with these glitches, but I figured people who want a challenge would want to know. Sorry this is so long but I like to read a couple of reviews before downloading the game. These are just minor things, but there is nothing big that I have seen so far. Overall great game, would recommend for puzzle solvers.

by Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiif

First of all I love this game it is so fun and relaxing but all the levels until 100 are so boring and all the adds get annoying and there have been a lot of glitches one of the glitches That happens to me was when I was playing it would just turn off and it would not save my progress in the game and the cars would not move and when I would log off the game and then log Back on it would start me at level one but I have been in love with the game ever since I got it and my whole family loves it to and because we it is such a fun game we started a parking jam war and the person that is on the higher level wins and gets a chocolate covered ice cream cone with all the toppings you want (for me it is all of the toppings you can fit LOL) over all I give this game four stars because of all the ads that bother me and all of the other little glitches that have happened to me while I played the game in the past but other wise I would highly recommend this game.😉🙂

by CrystalLuvsBo

I absolutely love this game!! After I downloaded it, I couldn’t stop playing. I play it any chance that I have a free second, minute, hour, and after finally purchasing the No Ads option, it was even better. A lot of people do not like the property building but I don’t think they understand why it’s there. It is a money maker to be able to buy the other levels instead of playing the small levels over and over making 15-24$ at a time. I don’t know about anyone else but I like to play the bigger levels as soon as I can so I bought and upgraded property as quick as I could. I am at the point now where I have built all the property that I can, it now says “Coming Soon”, I am almost level 14, I have played all the easy and hard levels that are available. Will there be an update with more levels and property? I’d hate to hear that it ends here. I absolutely love this game.

by The Morbid Drummer

I have been playing this game for a few days now I reached level 400 and I have to say that it is a fun game but I have to agree with the other reviewers in this. I was also interested because of the ad of the huge parking lot and it looked unique and fun. Now that I am this far in there is no difference. It is basically the same 5 parking lots that have about 10 cars in them. As I increased in levels it’s still the same. The lots don’t get bigger like in the ad and aside from a old lady with a walker that sometimes appears there is nothing different between the beginning levels up to where I am now. It’s a shame because I feel this could be a great game but without the lots getting bigger and more cars to have to set free there’s really no challenge or goals and I feel there really is no point to continuing because there really is nothing to look forward to. Hopefully the developer will read these and update the game because I would definitely continue playing it if they gave us what the ad showed.

by Cute Ute

There really is no point to the game outside of the challenges. The levels in between are just there to kill time. I don’t really mind that too much as it’s actually relaxing... until the bugs start setting in. I will complete a level and then once I hit continue it just freezes on a white loading screen and I have to force close ParkingJam3D . By the time I’ve done that and opened it again, it has me repeat the level I just did again... and again, and again until it randomly decides to let me move on. On top of that I have to watch an ad every single time before I start and even after before it glitches. It is taking way too long to get to the challenges because of this glitch and it’s been taking all of the enjoyment out of it entirely. I wish that each level actually got harder and were more like the challenges themselves... but I would settle for it as is if it weren’t for the constant glitches and ads.

by Elwoz

This is not a *challenging* sliding block puzzle, but it’s a great little fidget toy, something to do with your eyes and fingers while listening to a podcast or a meeting or some such. There’s also a housing development idle game hiding inside, which adds a little somethin’ somethin’.

I do however have some complaints:

* The in-app “no ads” purchase gets rid of the ad at the bottom of the main gameplay screen, but you still have to watch ads to unlock various unlockables, and you still keep getting propositioned to watch ads for extra coins. When I pay for no ads I expect that to mean NO ADS WHATSOEVER. If you want to raise the price of “no ads” to cover that, that’s fine by me.

* The isometric perspective often makes it difficult to tell whether a car can escape in some direction.

* There is an annoying bug where the link to the housing development screen always has an ! on it, even if there’s nothing to do there.

* I seem to have gotten stuck a few hundred stars before the end of level 21. You can only get stars by upgrading buildings, AFAICT, but I can’t upgrade any more buildings until I reach level 22, so... deadlock.

* Gosh, it would be nice to have a way to report bugs directly, rather than by writing app store reviews and hoping the developers read them.

by Sewnluv

I never write reviews, ever, but I don’t want the negative nellys out there to convince them to change this game. I’ve been waiting for a game to come along that was part challenging and part mindless and this is it! The main levels don’t get harder and harder in an attempt to get you to buy power ups, they just cycle back and forth between easy and super easy for mindless fun that you can use like a fidget toy. The challenge levels DO get harder. Sometimes I wish there were more challenge levels, but then I just flip through a bunch of easy levels while I’m watching tv and BOOM there they are. I’m over level 3000 now and I haven’t deleted the game! Huge win! I did pay the $3 to remove the ads after each level and it was worth the money, so much better than a game that tries to get my $ at every level. Please don’t change!
