The elevator music made me smile. I understood the mechanics pretty quickly without explanation. I found the controls to be the most challenging aspect of the game which ultimately made the experience frustrating.

Hey guys! Good job on your game. I wish that there would be a cancel pick up button that would return the gentleman you picked up back to his original spot. I also found it pretty disorientating that I had to input movement keys after picking someone up using the movement keys to select which square I wanted to act upon. I'm not too sure what I would recommend instead maybe have less grid strict movement and allow the player to move anywhere he wants and then let the enemy characters snap to the grid when he places them down. Considering the time you had to code this game I think you did a great job and the game only needs slight mechanic tweaks to make it a really great game!

The idea fits with the theme, I like it !
The controls are well thought, it's very easy to move the guys around and that's key to your game since you have to that quickly. :thumbsup:
The "elevator music" was funny. :smile:

The game was funny and I liked the mechanic of the floors falling out. The controls were a little hard to use though.

Thas was a good call. Perfect submission on the theme. Till now, best of this theme. Graphics could be more better.

Took a second before I figured out what on earth was going on, but then it was fun. I was always wondering "Is the next floor going to doom me?". Great job!

This is pretty fun. I was a little confused at the beginning as to whether I was supposed to save people or drop them to their deaths, but once I figured it out it was pretty fun. Nice job!

Had quite a bit of fun with this game. The last couple levels felt a bit luck-based, as when I tried to pick up other people, as soon as I moved, another person took the spot I was in, leaving me with no options. Still, great game.

Really good and funny take on the theme. Got to floor 6, then I made the mistake of holding a guy while the others entered and thus got trapped on a falling tile. Noooooooo!

I like it, well done!

Funny game, which fits the theme nicely. The controls were a bit unintuitive. I got to the last floor.

Nice job!

Well suited to the theme, but you get blocked in very quickly with no where to move...
