An old elevator. 73 floors. You keep it running. Up or down. The rest is up to fate. Floor 73 is a roguelike strategy game. Manage your energy. Keep the faults in check. Every move drains resources. Every floor triggers a random event. Ordinary passengers. Unusual passengers. Monsters. Blackouts. Everything that happens shifts the odds for what comes next. Win Conditions Reach the 73rd floor. Or escort a key passenger to their destination. Failure can come at any time. ■ Random Event System Every run takes a different route. No two games play out the same. ■ Dynamic Risk Mechanics Lower energy, higher fault — the less predictable things get. Danger scales in real time. ■ Multi-phase Soundtrack Different floors carry different weight. The music follows the pressure. ■ Permanent Upgrade System Earnings carry over between runs. Invest in the garage and shop to strengthen the next departure. ■ 9 Languages Supported Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Russian. The elevator doesn't stop. The question is — how long can you keep it running.

Elevator Simulator for kids: a calm, hands-on elevator game for little ones. Step inside and take the controls. There are 14 elevators to ride, including a goods lift, an observatory, an aquarium, a launch gantry and a clock tower. Each one has its own look, its own sounds and its own world outside the doors. - Press the floor buttons and listen. The doors slide, the motor hums, and a voice announces each floor. - Open the maintenance panels and fix little puzzles: sort the wiring, replace the dead bulbs, squash the sparks, top up the oil. The cabin gets cleaner as you fix it. - Hunt for hidden treasures tucked away inside every elevator. - Give your elevator its own name. Gentle and safe by design: - No ads. - No account and no sign-in. - Works offline. We collect no personal information, only anonymous usage statistics and crash reports that cannot identify your child. Two elevators, the Goods Lift and the Observatory, are free. One optional one-time purchase, behind a simple parents-only check, unlocks the other 12 elevators. That is all it unlocks; everything else in the app is free. No subscription. Made with care by Gentle Motion: calm apps for kids who see the world differently. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Elevator Simulator at 15.0 against Floor 73's 17.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
