I like this game so much❤️

This game is the best. I give this game 10 rating

Impossible level

This game is well done and fun. Clearly I’m lame as when I got to the Arcadia level all fun stopped- I have tried to beat this level hundreds of times and each time the janitor comes and time ends-

Great up to this level, now impossibly frustrating

Response from developer

Thanks for playing! It is a difficult level, and your frustration is warranted. One strategy you may want to try is to let the janitor become impatient and see if you can continue to deliver other passengers. Hope this improves your playing experience.

This game is good

It’s a good game overall, but it gets a little boring after a while. Hope you continue to make games because you have potential

Response from developer

Thanks for the encouragement and support!

It’s a Good game

It’s a good buy game. It trains your fast decision making and become a good observer. You really have to use both left and right eye for timing. Almost like when you have to draw something with left and right hand independently

Response from developer

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the game.

Cute & Quick

Cute little game that takes an evening to beat. Good game to get sucked into!

Response from developer

Thanks for playing!

Point System Is Stupid

Too many runs where achieving 40 points just isn’t possible. It’s very frustrating.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. I understand the frustration, but I promise collecting 40 points is possible. One strategy you may want to try is to let the janitor become impatient and see what happens and see if you can continue to deliver other passengers. Hope this helps and improves your playing experience.

Only 10 levels?

only 10 levels?

Really fun with great potential

I enjoy this game very much and it’s worth the low price. I would like to see perhaps a better balance because there appears to be some randomness to the janitors (if you’re not playing yet, this may be confusing) and sometimes they show up almost immediately after the round starts. I would also love to see an endless version as well; that would be key to make this game easily a contender for one of my favorites.

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for the feedback! I've further balanced the janitor to make his appearances more fair—if he shows up early at the start he will now take a longer time to reappear. I hope that improves your playing experience. As to an endless mode, thanks for asking! We will definitely consider adding it in the future.

Good game issue with gameplay

Janitors come too quickly, I have to delay picking them up so that I can get more stars which feels counter intuitive

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I've balanced the janitors a bit more to moderate how fast they appear, I hope that makes playing more fun for you.

How to take 3 stars???

Dev - total points collected only 31-32 for a stage and ends. How to collect 40points when there isn’t much people.

Seems like there’s a serious bug cos unable to proceed without 3 stars obtained

Overall it’s fun but need to stop till this issue is fixed.

Pencil compatibility

I have only played the first level but wish it had Apple Pencil compatibility! I can tap the pause but not the elevator. Maybe it’s operator error but that would perfect this game for me

Response from developer

Hi, I've just added Apple Pencil compatibility, hope that it improves your playing experience!

I(almost) really like it, but

The janitors are a big source of friction that feels really at odds with the rest of the gameplay. For the rest of the passengers, you’re working out an efficient flow and helping them navigate the tower, but when the janitors appear you’re playing a meta game where you’re trying to hold them off long enough to earn more points without letting them penalize you.

Sometimes he shows so quickly you can barely get two stars before you start losing points. Then the run feels less like something you could have improved, and more like “oh, I guess the game just wanted to stop”

*That said* the premise and the rest of the game is groovy! I love managing the (non-janitor) characters and trying to balance lift car locations to move people as fast as possible.

If we can find a way to re-balance the janitors, or maybe have different game modes with other challenges, this game could truly be one of my favorites

Response from developer

Thanks for playing! I've done a bit of balancing to make the janitor more predictable. I did design the janitor to ensure each run does not stretch on indefinitely, but I understand the feeling that sometimes his spawning is too quick and unpredictable. I will continue to think about how to provide a better playing experience. Love your suggestion of different game modes, I will certainly consider it. Thank you again for playing and taking the time to comment about my game.

Beautiful hidden gem of a game

So glad I stumbled across this somehow relaxing-yet-hectic game! The graphics are atmospheric and beautiful yet restrained - you can just see how much care has gone into all aspects of the game. Certainly worth a couple of bucks. The games are short but I find myself playing over and over to improve my score (I haven’t quite got all the stars yet). I’ve definitely learnt some strategies (dealing with tourists, the janitor) but there are some high scores on the global leaderboard that are just incomprehensible to me… perhaps I’m missing something!

i want to rate it 2/3

i want to give it a lower rating but don’t want to damage the score because the game is pretty fun and super cute but i’m stuck on the arcadia level for like threeeee days and even when i get double points on mostly everyone and the tourists too it took me a while to figure out they have to go with the people with the flags, i still can’t get the 40 points because the 3rd janitor comes way too soon sometimes when i only have 20 points. :/ maybe there’s a glitch or error in the code for this level

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! I've taken in feedback and have made Arcadia easier, and overall made the janitor's behaviour more predictable. Really appreciate the time you took to comment and, I hope you are able to reach 40 points and complete the game.

What a charming game!

Unique idea, great execution!

Engaging!

What a fun game to play! Not too complicated, but a level of complexity that continues to build as you go from one level to the next. I enjoy the graphics and all the characters. Well done!

Super addictive!

Simple and easy to understand with beautiful visuals, the relaxing music in contrast to the angry people waiting at the lift is really funny

Entertainingly stressful, and great visuals

Fun game to play with many different levels, and gets more fun the more u play! Visuals are wonderful too

Deceptively simple

A deceptively simple game, yet one that challenges your game sense and tactics. This is an excellent execution of an excellent game idea. The graphics are good, the coding is good. Looking forward to the next game from this developer!

Who knew riding the elevators could be so much fun

Who doesn’t hate it when the elevator takes so long to arrive? Well, now you are the elevator!

The game has a very simple mechanic to direct the elevators up and down the floors. It’s deceptively simple because while the elevators are easy to control, it’s not so easy to score well. I had to learn the different quirks of the various passengers in order to maximise points. After playing through some levels, I realise that I had to be strategic and cleverly employ some delay tactics in order to score more, so that I could earn the three stars for each level. Cool visuals, music and really fun!
