Drifting Meets Parking Garages in Parking Garage Rally Circuit, Out Today!

Solo-dev Walaber’s retro-inspired arcade rally racer, Parking Garage Rally Circuit, is available today on PC for $9.99 / £8.50 / 9,75€, ahead of a potential Switch and Sega Saturn release in the future. Drift around parking garages set across the USA using tight controls and chainable Mario Kart-style boosts. Sales of the title will determine its future, with Walaber pledging to release a Nintendo Switch version if the game sells 50,000 copies and a Sega Saturn version if it sells 100,000!

The Parking Garage Rally Circuit tour takes you to parking garages across the US, transformed into race courses (and occasionally beset by the odd falling rock or lighting strike, but don’t worry about that). Designed to look, feel and sound like a lost Sega Saturn game that could have been released in 1998, Parking Garage Rally Circuit delivers delightfully fun time trial racing that’s easy to pick up and play but requires skill to master as you unlock new car classes and compete to top the leaderboards.

Parking Garage Rally Circuit features 8 tracks for you to unlock, along with three progressively harder car classes to race with. As you refine your times by mastering the game's effortless and compelling drifting system, the game will pull in ever tougher ghosts based on the runs of other players on the leaderboards for you to compete against, always giving you a new challenge to aim for.

If that’s not enough for you, you can also head online to create and join lobbies of up to 8 players and race on any track, with any car class, gaining points after each race. The game also features an arcade-style ‘Endurance’ mode where you keep doing laps until you run out of time for added replayability. There are also cheat codes in the game for players to discover and unlock fun modifiers, as well as special cars and tracks.
