I enjoyed the stressful feelings of juggling the passengers in the elevator, particularly when the second elevator came in. I feel it could have used some more challenge however, as the minimum $ to obtain stayed the same throughout the game. It's not very viable to try and negate all of the -5 debuffs, so I largely stuck to just filling up my elevators with the floors directly below and above the entrance lobby. Still addicting though! :)
I particularly enjoyed the music on the main menu, I think the VSTs used are put together very tastefully, the brass in particular is a standout sound. I'm envious you can write swing this well!
(By the way, it appears that the volume slider in your settings is broken.)
Graphically I felt overwhelmed at first, I didn't realise what was going on as it felt very visually packed. However, once I pieced together that it is a child creating a lego tower, it clicked. It's a very cute concept, I like it a lot :)
I did find the graphics a bit overwhelming but it create the hectic feel it seem like you were going for.
I would suggest having the values for the upgrades to increase with each purchase, because I knew I could get the required amount without needing to worry about the floors filling causing the -5 effect, I started just focusing on speed, with the slow speed being annoying for me but that encourages spending on the upgrade so I don't count it as a negative
Didn't try the two player mode as I don't have anyone available to play it with me at the moment..
