Only thing is I sometimes couldn't tell when I would be allowed to go to certain floors. If two passengers want to go to different floors, sometimes I would be forced to go to one or the other floor first, which might cut down on my inefficiency. Also, sometimes it seemed like I could go pick up other passengers when I already had one, and other times it seemed like I had to go drop my current passenger off first. These two issues might have to do with the destination floor being between my location and my desired destination, but I wasn't able to figure out the rules quickly."},{"author_name":"DaanVanYperen","author_uid":"22396","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 8:50pm","epoch":1440449100,"text":"Unique idea!"},{"author_name":"Linkigi","author_uid":"25626","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 9:05pm","epoch":1440450000,"text":"I love it.

Interesting concept, perhaps there is a larger game with multiple elevator banks, and trying to be a huge pain when you know one of the passengers is late for a meeting. Few odd bugs here and there; mostly where floors that should have been activated for me to go to were not available. Had fun.
