About Car Escape
Clear a jammed parking lot one car at a time, in the right order.
Car Escape is a top-down parking puzzle. Every car in the lot faces one way, shown by its headlights, and drives straight ahead when you tap it. If its lane to the edge is clear, it rolls onto the ring road and out through the exit gate. If another car, a cone or a pillar is in the way, it bumps, honks and backs into its bay, and you lose one of three hearts.
Each escaped car scores 10 points. A cleared lot adds 100 points times the level, plus 50 if nothing bumped, and gives back one heart, up to three. Lots grow from 6 by 6 to 8 by 8 with up to 21 cars, trucks take three spaces, and cones and concrete pillars never move. The run ends when the last heart is gone. Tip: before you tap, follow the headlights all the way to the edge.
