How to play
- Cars fill a 6 by 6 car park. Each car slides only forwards or backwards along its own length, never sideways.
- Tap a car, then press Left or Right (or Up or Down for tall cars) to slide it one space. Cars cannot pass through each other.
- Free the red car so it can drive out of the gate on the right of its row.
- Each level shows the fewest possible moves. Undo takes back a move.
Controls: mouse or touch. Made by CalcoTools.
Tips and strategy
- Look at what blocks the red car, then at what blocks those cars.
- Moving a long car often frees more than moving a short one.
- A move is one space for one car, so plan the shortest path.
- If you are stuck, Undo a few moves and try another order.
FAQ
- Is every jam solvable?
- Yes. A search finds the shortest solution for every puzzle.
- Do I have to match the fewest moves?
- No, but you can try: the number is shown on every puzzle.
- Can cars turn?
- No. Each car keeps its direction.
