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. FEATURES โ€ข 4 hand-drawn buildings: Bali Villa, Soho House, Business Center and The Tower โ€ข 18 story levels with optimal-route stars โ€ข Courier Shift, Daily Puzzle and Arcade modes โ€ข Crisp pixel art, animated sky and chiptune sounds โ€ข Satisfying haptics and an x2 speed button โ€ข Game Center leaderboards for every story level โ€ข No ads, no timers, no energy โ€” play as long as you like The first building is free. Full Access unlocks every story level with a single purchase.
