## What is Sky Lobby?

Sky Lobby is a strategy puzzle game about elevators, timing, and crowd flow. Up. Down. Calm. Panic. Calm. Panic!

Play the first three towers free, then unlock the full game with a single purchase. There are no ads, subscriptions, or other in-app purchases.

Design elevator routes through a busy skyscraper. Place stops, build sky lobbies, and keep people moving as each tower becomes more crowded, more complex, and less forgiving.

Every decision matters. A lift that works well in the morning rush may fail at lunchtime. A clever sky lobby can save an overloaded tower. A badly timed route can leave passengers waiting too long as midnight approaches.

Sky Lobby mixes calm planning with quick reactions. It is part elevator simulator, part logic puzzle, part real-time strategy challenge.

Features

* Build elevator routes through compact skyscraper puzzles
* Use sky lobbies to move passengers efficiently between floors
* React to changing demand throughout the day
* Balance strategy, timing, and fast decision-making
* Solve increasingly complex tower layouts
* Portrait mode gameplay
* Dark mode supported

Free to try, one in-app purchase to own

* Play the first three towers free without time limit or catch
* One purchase, "Unlock Full Game," opens every remaining tower
* A complete game with no ads, subscriptions or other in-app purchases
* Buy once, keep it forever

Sky Lobby is designed for players who enjoy strategy games, simulation games, transport puzzles, management games, and smart minimalist challenges.

Plan the route. Watch the crowd. Keep the tower moving. Mind the doors.

### 4/5 — おもしろい

*2026-09-06*

おもしろいんだけど、エレベーターを移動させるためにタップしたとき音が鳴らないので押せてるかがわからなくて連打→意図せず乗り込んできちゃうっていうのがあってそこが気になります…

### 5/5 — Круто

*2026-08-31*

Давно таких интересных игр не попадалось

### 5/5 — 丁度良い思考を与えてくれる

*2026-08-23*

私には丁度良い思考を与えてくれるゲームデザインでした。シンプルさと複雑さの丁度良いところを押さえていると思います。

### 4/5 — Title

*2026-08-22*

It’s hard to describe but maybe its the touch input that isn’t always picked up, sometimes the shafts move on their own as if they had the auto boost on, the doors “open” feature aren’t as clear (maybe something to be addressed in the tutorial of the specific touch inputs dictate which actions). It was still super enjoyable and I like that the free levels at least let you have an unlimited run.

### 4/5 — Loading passengers should be auto

*2026-08-21*

Loading passengers should be auto.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! Passengers do automatically board as long as the elevator is heading the direction they want to go. You can play the game (and get very far!) without asking passengers to board. That said, there is a small tactical advantage when sometimes you want passengers to ride along even though the cab is heading in the wrong direction, so they don't grow impatient. In this case you can tap to force them on. Hope this makes it clear how it works, if it wasn't clear before! --Herman

### 3/5 — 序盤のステージは面白くない

*2026-08-21*

工夫しがいのあるステージと忙しいだけのステージがある

### 5/5 — Addictif

*2026-07-26*

Un jeu très addictif, stratégique et original. J’espère qu’il y aura des maj ou des dlc, car la durée de vie est assez courte

### 4/5 — Triste

*2026-07-24*

Era bom demais pra ser grátis….

### 4/5 — かなり好き

*2026-07-23*

とても面白いゲームです、ずっと忙しい。難易度は高めなので攻略のし甲斐があります。初めは操作方法の理解が難しいかもしれません。

残念な点はエレベーターの置き直しが出来ないところと、面白いポイントではありますが、あまり購入ミスが許されないところです。
ミスをしてしまうと詰んで最初からになってしまいます。いい具合にチェックポイント等があると嬉しいです。

### 5/5 — Все супер

*2026-07-21*

Классная игра, мне прям нравится соревноваться с другими за первенство по пассажирам. Играю в бесплатной версии последнюю башню Сидней. Разработчики, исправьте пожалуйста ситуацию по ней, у меня на 12 этаже синие кубики почему-то не садятся в лифт, чтобы поехать на 11 этаж (для кубиков) и игра прерывается на этом моменте уже который раз, что бы я не делала. Не понимаю, как решить проблему

**Developer response:** Спасибо за добрые слова! Очень приятно слышать, что вам нравится игра.

Эта проблема должна быть исправлена в последней версии. Если после обновления вы всё ещё столкнётесь с ней или любыми другими вопросами, пожалуйста, напишите мне по электронной почте — я с радостью помогу.
