The original Parking Garage Rally Circuit is one of those indie racing games that deserve more attention. It was a scrappy, drift-focused arcade racer with simple yet satisfying controls. The PS1-era graphics also add to the overall charm. Now, developer Walaber Entertainment has revealed Parking Garage Rally Circuit DX. This version is an enhanced version that doubles the original content of the game, while also championing a new platform to play on.
The game will be coming to consoles and PC (Steam) in 2026, but for $15, you can play it right now in your browser through Wavedash. This is the first we’re hearing about it, but it’s apparently a newly launched platform that lets you play games directly in your browser without any downloads or special hardware.

A Weird Launch For An Indie Game
The reason this game is being promoted on a new browser-based game platform is completely financial. Kyler Blue is the man behind Wavedash, and he’s promising game developers that Wavedash is an advanced platform that can handle “porting + performance + web distribution” in one package. It looks like Wavedash may have paid Walaber a decent amount to have Parking Garage Rally Circuit DX on its platform. The game looks great, and if it’s more of that PS1-style simple arcade racing, I’m all for it.
However, I’m not a fan of this whole Wavedash tie-in. The platform runs on WebGPU and WebAssembly for performance, but remember when we had Flash? That was great, until Flash died an agonizing death because it failed to meet modern security or performance demands. We’ve also seen much bigger platforms promise “frictionless” gaming, like Google Stadia. And yeah, that service is also shut down.
Latency, library acquisition, and the battle to match native PC performance will be all too much to handle for a platform like Wavedash. I’m not always a pessimistic person, but I know a bad idea when I see one. It’s an ambitious bet, and I hope Wavedash isn’t assuming developers will commit time and resources to port their games to a store with zero established audience.
Regardless, Parking Garage Rally Circuit DX will release as a DLC for the base game, which is the way you should be buying it. Walaber also confirmed in a Twitter/X thread that the game will be coming to Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 in 2026. Unfortunately, we don’t have an official release date as of yet.
