The music gives this an absolutely mad vibe, never felt so excited about an escalator. Love it

@arti-dev if u can confirm theres something at the last floor i will do this

donamougou 2024-04-16 01:00

This is a crazy idea ! Very simple, and yet (personnaly), very effective and entertaining ! Really like it, well done !

donamougou 2024-04-16 01:07

Update : Went to the end... Once I understood that I could level up by clicking on the number on the upper right of the screen... You should add a more explicit explanation to your description of the give imo ! :)

arti-dev 2024-04-16 01:09

@congeesetador ahaha :) I think that climbing that many floors is even more unbearable than waiting for the elevator. So the game character have the slightest idea what's up there.

But at the end of the game, there is a little animation that rewards you for your suffering ;)

arti-dev 2024-04-16 01:12

@donamougou thank you! yeah, i'll think about that :)

congeesetador 2024-04-16 01:12

@arti-dev i take it as a challenge then! i really hope my wifi doesnt cut out or something but im making some progressProgress.png

congeesetador 2024-04-16 01:16

@donamougou wait u can upgrade?! i went down almost 50,000 levels without upgrading i thought that was the whole purpose of the game T-T right after i upgraded i immediately won

arti-dev 2024-04-16 01:17

@congeesetador you could use upgrades. press the button at the top-right corner. wow, it's madness that you went so far without them :O

arti-dev 2024-04-16 01:19

@congeesetador yep, i need to make it much clearer :) you're not the only one, who don't understand it

congeesetador 2024-04-16 01:37

@arti-dev i think it's time for my review, I really enjoyed this game, i didnt think i would enjoy it this much seeing how it was such a simple game but it gave me a challenge, the music was fun and upbeat which i enjoyed and it made playing the game better, i spent quite a while trying to beat my own personal best but i cant get past this no matter how hard i try but i still think it was a decent record. You made a great game for this jam! Good job!Highscore.png

@congeesetador How did you do it in 1 minute wtf? nice

adrien-tremblay 2024-04-16 02:07

Very funny take on the theme! The music was also amazing!

congeesetador 2024-04-16 02:13

@adrien-tremblay I have my ways :)

dams333 2024-04-17 18:19

Incredible mood overall, love the global idea. And really cool music

jupiterintardis 2024-04-18 17:33

This crazy game made my hand nearly cramp.

sariiger 2024-04-19 13:08

This game really scratches the itch when it comes to my guilty pleasure of clicker/idle games. Surprisingly satisfying (although short) game, and an interesting take on the concept.

memnarch 2024-04-19 16:35

This is stupid. Loving it. 10/10

braktheman 2024-04-20 05:45

Was always fun seeing which upgrades would show up next. It took me four minutes to get the elevator down so I feel like a rookie compared to some of the other times, but as a fan of idlers this one checked a lot of boxes for me. Great work! Keep it up!

gonzo13 2024-04-20 12:17

The best theme implementation! :smile: imho

arti-dev 2024-04-20 13:30

@dams333 @memnarch @sariiger @gonzo thank you!

arti-dev 2024-04-20 13:31

@jupiterintardis ahah, hope it's not permanent

arti-dev 2024-04-20 13:37

@braktheman thank you! My record is 2 minutes and 20 seconds. Actually, I have no idea how to beat the game in one minute.

alzhu1 2024-04-20 18:34

Super simple clicker game yet oddly satisfying, getting a bunch of upgrades and speeding up the elevator. Not much else to say, this was short and sweet. Well done with the game!

This game put a smile on my face, the simplicity of it is great. It reminds me of a Wario Ware mini game haha. The only big problem I have, it's kinda visually not engaging, it would've been cool to maybe have a TV on the wall showing inside the elevator with people freaking out the faster it got. But seriously, I enjoyed this for what it was.

arti-dev 2024-04-20 21:36

@alzhu1 thank you! @beeb-gamecodecompany thank you, freaking passengers is a great idea :)

jacobingalls 2024-04-20 22:56

I had a good time playing your game! I really liked how the complexity and franticness built over time depending on your upgrade choices. I do with there were keyboard shortcuts, that would make the game easier for me (trackpad user). But that is also a balance thing, since you wouldn't have to stop pounding the button to initiate an upgrade, so I get it.

Not the high score, I know, but I still had fun. Cool entry!

durkagames 2024-04-20 23:19

3.24 minutes! I like how the progression was made, audio was nice and overall gameplay is pretty fun! Nice entry!

fionnabhair 2024-04-20 23:44

Ha! Nice take on the theme. Simple, enjoyable, have some stars, no notes 🤌.

yangsang 2024-04-21 03:33

A very interesting summoning

thejonu 2024-04-21 11:19

Cool idea!

nadia-pixel 2024-04-21 13:09

that is a really cool concept! one thing - the water cooler is way too small

arti-dev 2024-04-22 12:38

@jacobingalls @durkagames @fionnabhair @yangsang @thejonu @nadia-pixel thanks everyone for the kind words :)
