The Everything Building
Elevator Operator’s Manual

We are delighted to welcome you to the team as our newest elevator operator. You will be expected to serve the vertical mobility needs of some very busy and important people (and animals). We expect you to convey them to their desired floor with speed, efficiency and a smile.

To go up - press arrow up
To go down - press arrow down

If successful, you will be rewarded with generous tips. But keep the line moving, or it’s all over for you.

Now get to work!

Sincerely,
The Management

---

Game Rules:
* Take numbered customers to their respective destination floor to receive coins
* Customers appear on floors: avoid overcrowding a floor by transporting customers before they fill any floor entirely
* Combo: More people arriving on the same floor at the same time means more coins
* Size: The customers come in three sizes (small, medium, large) and the elevator can hold three small, one small and one medium or a single large customer at a time.
* Many customers have their own properties and behaviours: learn and master their quirkiness to score as much as you can before any floors overcrowd!

Hey, you made the same game as me, but yours is way better! :)

This is a really well-made game -- the learning curve and introduction of new ideas was well-balanced, the graphics are cute and the music's cool too.

This is fantastic -- utterly charming, fun, and frankly addicting. Great art, great music and effects, and nice elegant gameplay. It seemed to take a really long time for the difficulty/tension to build up, but that's something that be tweaked with playtesting over the course of more than 72 hours! Awesome job!

Really enjoyed this. Ending up having quite a few goes at it, too. Simple mechanic to pick up, very difficult to master. Great art, great audio... brilliant game :)

That was a pretty fun game. At least, until those hearts and music people showed up. When they showed up irregularly that's basically where the game ends. But until then, it was a pretty fun game.

This game just did everything perfectly. Amazing job. I love love love the interactions between characters and the characters that cause different status effects on the elevator. The feel is spot on and the music and sounds fit the game perfectly. Great work, please continue on this game and release a paid version. I will be your first sale.

This game is great and very addicting!
If there is a next version, can you add some touchscreen controls so people can play it on their phone? Consider making it an app.

One of the devs here, we can't believe how hugely positive the reception of the game has been, even if we had a feeling that it's pretty good. We already have lots of plans for making the gameplay even more varied in a future expanded release, and a little bit of work has already gone towards polishing it! Hopefully we can eventually release a fully fleshed out version across as many platforms as possible.

You made many interesting travelers. When I matched brides or musicians, I felt clever. When I saw the ambulance stretcher I felt a rush. It was a bonus that I was able to play on my iPhone in Safari. If you continue to develop this, and I hope you do, on iPhone Safari, when I tap the elevator shaft above or below the elevator, sometimes the elevator went in a different direction. I didn't have a magnet-reversing passenger at the time.
