Optimise elevator movement as you deal with a fussy cast of passengers—impatient CEOs, mean soldiers and confused tourists. There is no one solution to elevator optimisation: every stage will have its unique bottlenecks, passengers and problems. Can you keep people moving, or will they have to take the stairs? • Deliver your passengers: manage elevators in a skyscraper to deliver passengers up and down to their destinations as efficiently as possible. • Adapt to complex situations: learn to manage increasingly complicated systems of lifts, from multiple lifts, to lifts that operate on different sets of floors, to lifts that completely skip floors. • Placate fussy characters: deal with a cast of seven unique characters, from impatient CEOs to mean soldiers to confused tourists. Learn their behaviours to score the greatest number of points from each of them. • Rack up high scores: compete on a global leaderboard to gain the most points in each level. • Ascend the mysterious skyscraper: discover different environments on each level, playing with different sets of lifts as you climb to the very top. • Play on the go: play one handed, while commuting, queuing in line, or waiting for the lift. Every round lasts at most a few minutes. Information Seller:Dylan Kwok Genre:Arcade, Strategy Release:Jul 30, 2024 Updated:Aug 13, 2024 Version:1.0.2 Size:279.4 MB TouchArcade Rating:Unrated User Rating:Unrated Your Rating:unrated Compatibility:HD Universal Hello everyone, I wanted to share my game, Going Up, a casual game about elevators. I made this game as a student project and it was inspired by how slow and inefficient the elevators at my campus were. I felt that if they let me control the elevators at school I would do a better job, so I decided to make a game to let anyone control elevators and see whether they could manage it better than real elevator algorithms. I chose to make it a mobile game because I myself am a mobile gamer and I like to play games while commuting, and making it mobile meant I could play test on the way to school and back. I would love if y'all could check it out and I appreciate all the support I can get! I hope you will enjoy my game. Quoad likes this.

Whether it has legs or not will depend on what further mechanics are introduced but first impressions are very positive. Dylan Kwok likes this.

This is a quibble, the scoring can be gamed. I’ve missed out on three stars once bc I delivered the janitor quickly (3 janitors = stage ends), had I done so a bit more slowly another non janitor would have arrived giving me the +2 points I needed. This sounds trivial because it is. I ain’t gonna three star it all anyhows Dylan Kwok likes this. Dylan Kwok New Member Aug 6, 2024 2 3 3 #5 Dylan Kwok, Aug 25, 2024 Thanks for the encouragement!
