Engine Simulator is a physics-based piston engine sandbox. The sound and motion come from a real rigid body simulation of the crank, pistons, valves, and combustion, not recordings. Start an engine, work the throttle, and tune its fuel and ignition maps in the ECU. Build one from scratch (layout, bore, stroke, cam, firing order) or describe what you want and have it generated on device. Watch it run in 3D, read live power and torque on the dyno, or push it past the limiter until it breaks. Post your engines to the global leaderboard and compare against other builders. Engine Simulator for iOS is an unofficial port. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by AngeTheGreat (Ange Yaghi), the creator of the original open source Engine Simulator.

Tight Parking
Read full descriptionHide full description
The clock starts the moment you move. How fast can you park it? Tight Parking is a speedrun parking challenge. Every level gives you a vehicle, a bay and barely enough room. Get in as fast as you can without touching anything, then go back and do it faster. RACE THE CLOCK Every run is timed, and every hit adds a penalty. Finish clean and fast to beat the par time, then take your best run to the global leaderboard and see how you stack up against players everywhere. FROM CARS TO ARTICULATED TRUCKS Start with nimble cars, then work up to buses, trucks and trailers that swing wide and punish every mistake. Hitch trailers, reverse into impossible gaps, parallel park between blockers and clear the way out. 100 + HAND-BUILT LEVELS plus More coming Each level is a precise puzzle of space and angles. Learn the line, shave the seconds, and master every one. CHASE 100% Every level has four goals: finish it, beat par, park without a single hit, and do both in one perfect run. Getting all four takes real skill. Touch buttons, GamePad, steering wheel, joystick or tilt, with haptics you can feel. No time limits and no game over. Take as long as you need to learn a level. The leaderboard only remembers your fastest.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Engine Simulator at none against Tight Parking's shown. Engine Simulator also leads on chart position (#49 vs unranked). Tight Parking's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 76%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
