No Brakes Valet is a premium ($1.99) arcade parking game that differentiates itself through a local 2-player multiplayer mode on iPad. It features high-speed physics and a humorous, simple aesthetic. However, the app is currently in a legacy state, having not received a feature update since early 2018, and is losing visibility in the paid charts (#95, ↓9).
