Really creative idea, and well-executed. 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.
Unique idea!

I love it. Nice take on the theme and really well executed. Quite tricky, made me go back to levels to try and beat my score.

I really like the reversing of the usual puzzle game requirement for efficiency.

I love everything about this game from its concept to its shitty music. Out of all the games I have played and rated this is the worse monster out of all of them!
I hope this one does really well!
Good interpretation of the theme! Elevator music fit the overall theme of your game well. Took me a bit to figure out how to max out the evil meter, but I figured it out after a few tries. Good entry!

Nice idea
The elevator operator is a jerk. He went by my floor 6 times before picking me up! :p
Really neat, and fun idea. It's tricky trying to wrap your brain around inefficiency instead of the usual efficiency.
Overall a good game. 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. Loved the music, was very creepy.

Nice idea. I could not shut down it for about 10 minutes XD
It could just be me, but is was like a typing test,

Brilliant! This is one of the most original takes on the theme I've seen so far, and the music just gives the perfect touch of evil.
Awesome entry, great job!

Great well executed! Animations feel like I'm in control of a demonic elevator!
Audio felt a bit unbalanced between the cheerful 'ding' and the demonic music.

Interesing and amusing game, I love the... elevator music . ;D
Awesome game, looks really polished and played very smoothly. A super creative idea, I can see this being expanded upon. I felt very evil!
Really well done puzzle game. I really like the feel of the game and how it fit the theme. I think something that could really make the game a little better would be some small animations from the passengers to show their anger. Overall a really well made game. Nice job!

It started to be interestng but i got boring after less time than i expected. Still a nice concept and elevator music, made me chill.
Very nice game !
Everything is good but the music.
I think it's very noisy and make it harder to concentrate on the game, even if, i can tell that, it exactly fit to the ambiance :D
Good work.
And thanks for your comment on our game !

Very tight, I never managed to fill up my monster bar all the way. Truly I have a long way to go...
This is a great concept. I liked the puzzle aspect of it, although I would also have enjoyed more of a "sandbox" mode that let me go to any floor I wanted and would, from time to time, give me more people without "resetting". Then maybe they'd get irritated after a while and use the stairs instead or get out at the wrong floor.
Over all, really awesome execution and concept!

The music is so devilish! Fantastic presentation and a unique idea. I'm taking the stairs from now on...
What a cool concept. It feels very polished. Played it quite a while. Awesome game ;)
Really cool idea, I think I would've gone with 9 floors as 10 being 0 was a little jarring. Other than that this is a unique and interesting take on the theme, good work :)
Really neat concept. As others said, it's a little confusing sometimes when you have multiple passengers why certain floors could not be reached.
Great art and sound. Well done!
The music is quite fitting and the overall game is a really interesting puzzle game!

That was a really unique idea. Great game :)
funny game, nice idea. well done m8
This was a very excellant game! Definitely on of my favorite games in the Ludum Dare thus far. I love the elevator music, the art style is so clean and polished, the humor lies within the evil success of annoying our passengers to the breaking point! 10/10!

Hahahaaha! Love the idea! :D
I would have loved if the numpad keys would work :)
Great sound and graphics, good juice, this is a great little distraction :) Are the levels procedural? If so, are they pre-solved? Or utterly random?
So interesting :) Touch controls, ship it!
Nice idea, I guess with better graphics and music - it could be really really cool game!
Love the idea but don't get how to play bad: every time no matter what it's evilated or even monsterated.
Overall it's a good game. You should do a port for mobile devices.
P.S. I got an elevator monster too! They are pure evil!

The concept is fun! This is a very good game! The mechanic is simple but efficient and the elevator music is so weird! well done! I liked it!
Great idea, executed nicely.
It would be interesting to see this game on touchscreen devices, with tapping rather than pressing numbers.
fun fun game :)
Very innovative idea. Would have loved to see the people become "Monsterated" but overall the mood was spot on, reminded me of Tower of Terror. Also, I don't know if the white inside the elevator was on purpose, but it gave an eerie, unknown feel to it. Well done!
Interesting idea, and it's cool to see something different than the typical "you're a monster in a platformer game" take.

Good, unique idea. Got a little bit repetitive and I got confused when I picked up passengers only to have some options suddenly removed, but otherwise the game was really good.
LOL this kind of elevator can be a real monster! Haha good job, nice idea and execution. The music was good!

It's a very creative idea. Flip idea from most efficient into most inefficient path.
Neat idea, though it took me a minute to figure it out! I included it in part 21 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/sSjPmVXpfX4
