The Lift
Read full descriptionHide full description
Can you handle the lift? THE LIFT is a pixel-art elevator game about one simple question: where should the lift go next? Plan the perfect route, keep the queues moving and get everyone to their floor โ from a Bali villa to an Art Deco tower in New York. STORY MODE Tap floors to build a route, hit GO and watch your plan play out. Every level has a best possible route: match the fewest stops to earn 3 stars. Heavier cabins climb slower and drop faster, so the order you pick matters. NEW: COURIER SHIFT A real-time three-minute shift. Parcels pop up on the floors and your courier fetches and delivers them on his own โ you drive the lift. Send it where he waits, drop him where he's going, pick up passengers on the way for tips, or send him up the stairs when the cabin is packed. Beat your best tips in every building. DAILY PUZZLE A new puzzle every day, the same for every player. Find the shortest route, collect three stars and keep your streak alive. ARCADE Morning lobby rush, mixed lunch hour or fast evening traffic: passengers keep coming, queues keep growing. How long can you keep up? Plus endless random puzzles with small or big cabins.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Elevator Rush 3D at none against The Lift's 3. Elevator Rush 3D also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 8 months) and device support (3 vs 1). The Lift's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.
