Hey, great game! It was a bit confusing at first, I didn't really know if I was holding the button right or if my keyboard was working, but once I got the controls down, it was great! I played for like a half-hour haha. I could see this being a great mobile game if you decide to expand upon it 4/5*

The windows version linked to a "page not found", and the web version came up with the error "An error occured running the Unity content on this page. See your browser's JavaScript console for more info. The error was:
uncaught exception: incorrect header check"

Nice

The web version is broken. It says "An error occured running the Unity content on this page. See your browser's JavaScript console for more info. The error was:
uncaught exception: incorrect header check"

Thanks @alyphen and @SuperChihuahua
Some problems with hosting.
I checked and it should be fine now.

Man the idea is so cool ahhaha ! I love that concept. Graphics are cool, music is funny too. It lacks smoothness in controls and sometimes it looks like they didn't want to enter in the elevator.
Good job. Nice "growing" interpretation.

Oh boy this was fun. I killed so many people without any bad intent. They've had a little too much trouble taking a small step (1px height?) just outside the elevator when I parked nearly perfectly (I figured they need to drop).

It would've been great if all the UI also used quick pixel graphics and fonts.

Also can you visually tell what story you are on without counting from top/bottom? If so I missed that.

paraxite 2015-12-14 13:04

Good game! It would be nice if passengers managed to leave the elevator if it's slightly lower than the floor, or enter if it's slightly higher.

mrdave 2015-12-14 13:05

Who would have thought such a simple game would have been so enjoyable.

antag99 2015-12-14 13:09

Damn, never thought being an elevator could be that hard... cool game!

oxeren 2015-12-14 13:10

Cool! :)

leaden 2015-12-14 22:10

Retro style rules! I have fun by playing in both ways.

move127 2015-12-15 02:33

Well, I feel like a horrible person. That was awesome. Great game!

suppi 2015-12-15 17:17

hahaha! really nice entry! good job!

treslapin 2015-12-15 20:26

Such a good idea! Executed really well.

sleepyxy 2015-12-15 20:33

Never thought that being an elevator could be that much fun! It's so addictive I don't know why :D

The instructions dont' become clear at the beginning though and the AI won't move out fast enough :P

Fun game!

Funny Game! why did a zombi take the elevator ?
wish it had more levels! nice job

rulrite 2015-12-15 21:09

Nice to see someone else going with the 'elevator' idea, although you approached it in a vastly different way! I really like the concept, and the game has a great sense of progression thanks to the upgrade system.

noradzero 2015-12-16 00:40

Not bad! Good idea you've got there.

careless 2015-12-16 00:46

I have always wanted to know how it feels to be an elevator... and now I know!

Nice pixel art and music, although you could have had some elevator music.

Nice that you put in progression and power ups. Great job!

timruswick 2015-12-16 01:07

I absolutely loved this! The music is catchy. I will never be upset waiting too long for an elevator because now I understand the struggle!

mr-a 2015-12-16 01:44

Brilliant concept!

I like the elevator's nose. And that people will run into the shaft after you've left. And will happily ride the top of the elevator. And attempt to exit normally at their desired floor.

Minor complaints:
- the responsiveness of the controls is sloppier than I'd like
- people should be able to step up if the floor's a smidge high.
- people die a little too easily (this seems to be fixed in the latest version)
- if people fall into the shaft, it seems like they should die from the fall or get squashed when the elevator comes down

These things didn't stop me at all from continuing to play, of course, they just added friction. I'd love to see this further expanded upon.

Some small ideas:
- People could have a new "injured" state that they can reach before dying. In this state, they move slower and give less rep from a successful trip.
- You could get a notification when someone starts to wait, and/or see a count of how many people are waiting at each floor.

argowen 2015-12-16 02:05

I thought I was doing good by killing the people in the lift all the time :P

ddoomus 2015-12-16 03:17

I think this game will win.
I was left wanting more and more. I think you're better off not having a game over at all, but rather just having some other penalty because I didn't want to start back at square one. Just keep giving me more floors, and more speed and maybe eventually another elevator to be trying to control concurrently. This game has a lot of potential.

My favorite game so far.

tjxx 2015-12-16 03:39

Played the web version. Well made and almost addicting.

bitdecaygames 2015-12-16 04:19

Love the old school art style. Takes me back to the original kings quest series.

karlipoppins 2015-12-16 07:38

This was really fun!! Very simple concept but I found it very enjoyable. Kinda reminded me of Papers Please somehow! Music was a bit repetitive. Awesome and innovative gameplay!

hippolyta 2015-12-16 08:51

Love it^^

publicidadeba 2015-12-16 11:18

Funny mech :D The gore fitted ;)

qwefasd 2015-12-16 13:00

Cool game, but elevator so slow.

justinooncx 2015-12-16 13:27

Pretty interesting game, although I honestly wasn't 100% sure of what was going on~

ace 2015-12-16 16:09

Nice idea, just that the controls felt a bit clunky. Can't exactly say what was wrong with them, but they didn't feel right.

The art is beautiful though.

mrmordem 2015-12-16 16:47

Nice concept and game mechanisms. Poor humans, really weak body, to become a bloody/fleshy pudding for a little "jump" like this :p
Anyway, good job. :)

owt 2015-12-16 19:56

Haha, brilliant game xD Even with this graphic it was still fun being and elevator, I enjoyed it xd

h-attila 2015-12-17 22:17

My first idea was to control an elevator but I ended up doing a different kind of game. Glad to see someone else has realized that.
