In my continuing attempt to support French software and game developers, I bring you…a game! Pépère, sa voiture et son créneau (Pépère, his car and his parallel parking) is a very cute, fun and hard Flash game by Flash developer, JP. Do you sometimes have those endless days at work when nothing goes right? Then you go home only to find that you can’t easily find a parking space. Then! You find a space but are forced to parallel park into it. Welcome to Pépère’s world. Pépère also has the unfortunate curse of sucking at parallel parking – so your task is to help him out. This is not as easy as actually parallel parking! But, it’s fun and certainly a good time waster (for something to do at work There are other vehicles to maneuver as well in some of his other games. For example, with Capitaine Pépère, using your rudder, you must steer around buoys and navigate your boat around the water. Pépère on the Rocks puts you behind the wheel of a car that has to drive around an icy track. Pépères et sa caravane (Pépère and his trailer) will have you parking a trailer that is attached to your car! Lastly, in this category of navigating vehicles, here’s Pépère cascadeur (Stuntman Pépère), which is a pimped version of Pépère sa voiture but you have the use of a handbrake (use the spacebar) to add a little spice and fancy maneuvering to your parking skills.

games are GOOD for you. it’s an excellent way to take your mind away from serious matters, de-stress you (yes, kat!) and give you the feeling of being a kid if for just a moment. fun never gets old and you’re never too old to have fun.
Comment by ptinfrance 05.14.06 @ 2:19 amI absolutely suck at parallel parking, but I will give that game a try – it should be fun, since it does not involve real cars.
Comment by Elisabeth 05.14.06 @ 8:17 amUpdate: I still suck at it, even when it’s virtual. I am so glad that I don’t live in a big city where parallel parking skills are essential.
Comment by Elisabeth 05.14.06 @ 8:22 ami suck at this game too but it’s still fun. i wonder how those top 20 players could get those scores!
Comment by ptinfrance 05.14.06 @ 1:09 pmI have come to realize that I also suck at parallel parking but am hooked on the “cold fusion” game
some say “hooked” but i like to say they’re “good to come back to” when you need a fun break
A friend sent me a link to the car parking thing to say that blokes park better than girls.
And could I park it? No, and what’s worse is that I kept trying for several hours…
Comment by Nik 05.16.06 @ 2:37 pmAlthough also, what I found frustrating was that the parked cars didn’t bounce away properly like Parisien cars do when you hit them!
Comment by Nik 05.16.06 @ 2:39 pmNIK, lol! Yeah, well, what I found is tht the use of the keys is a little bit counter intuitive. The down key makes the car go up? Hmmm.. Anyway, couldn’t park it either in under 5 minutes… gave up and went looking for another parking place!

Comment by tomate farcie 05.18.06 @ 7:17 pmDang, 13 comments, can’t have that. Sorry. One more. Mooooo.
Comment by tomate farcie 05.18.06 @ 7:17 pmtomate, i think you’re driving upside down. make sure your car is positioned so that when the game starts, you turn left to go up not down. the curb should be on the driver’s right, not left.
