Toby in action on Parking Wars

I had a quiet go on Parking Wars the other day and am now hooked.

So what’s going on?

It’s a social game that obeys some of my great app principles (top secret for now):

• turn based - I can play against friends who are in different time zones
• quick to move - a move takes  a few clicks and I’m done. I can “get away with” a quick turn just before I pop out for a lunch break
• uses the network effect - gets better the more friends I have who play, I have more places to park for a start
• unlockable rewards - I enjoyed explaining its badges system to a colleague
• can see how I’m doing - yay I’m already a Parking Pro after only a few days.
• simple simple simple - it really is
• raid and reward - I can quietly park on non-active users streets and avoid a ticket - thank you Joshua March for not playing today ;o)
