nice to see someone else who use pygame

An original take on the theme and nice graphics. However once a bunch of people got into the elevator they blended together and you couldn't see them or the number they're requesting very well.

Liked the sense of the lift motion as you tried to stop on a floor and got the wrong one.

Cute graphics

This was a fun idea. I liked the way the lift gathers momentum, so you have to overshoot slightly.

Great design approach within a social context.

Neat concept. Would have liked to see a bit more of an objective or some type of feedback of customers getting upset or mad. Visually nice effect, but I did find it hard to see who I had in there. With a bit more work, I could see this turning into a solid game.

The concept of "floors" as "worlds" is a compelling one, especially in the hands of a humble elevator operator. I think it's fair to say that the idea outshone the execution, but still... what a great f#$^#@$^g idea!

I really liked the concept, the theme take and the mood of this game. I also think you can improve it a lot. Sometimes people didn't get out of the elevator in his floor or demanded to go to the floor they were standing. Perhaps you could give more interaction between people inside the elevator, and fixing rules like limiting how many people can go simultaneously and the need to stop if there is someone outside the floor you are crossing. Losing lives if people wait too much inside or outside of the elevator and show a button system that indicates the floors that have people waiting to enter the elevator.

Surprisingly fun to play as the elevator boy. When there are more than 1 passenger, the floor they want is obstructed. Nice elevator music.

Oddly compelling. The controls are a bit finicky (need to overshoot going up), and there's a bug where people will want to go to the floor they came from and never get off. It's still pretty fun, though.

Funny idea ! Controlling the elevator is a bit dodgy however, it's a bit frustrating sometimes ! But I really like the concept.

I do like the graphics, also the music. However i am missing a failure factor, and it would be nice, if the suit people would hate to ride with hobos.

Needs a bit more to it, right now its just busy work for not much in the way of reward.

Nice idea, and original for the theme.
Here you have an engine (with some bugs but easy to fix I think...). Add some goals or limitations and you have a cool little game...

andymar 2014-09-06 10:50

Lovely music, awesome graphics and a pretty cool concept.

kojan 2014-09-06 11:43

Really original game concept ! As you mentionned there are sadly some bugs, so I can't play the game for too long.
However the music, graphics and mood are great !

Not really challenging. Basically just going up and down. Some people didn't get off the right floor. Might be a bug.
