Crowded: The Suits
Overview
Crowded takes place in an elevator, which is all the world the Operator, you, knows.
Navigating through the flux of Suits using the lift, you'll have to keep its ecosystem friendly, agreeable and healthy for everybody.
The Suits will express needs, things they want to get close to, or get away from. It is your job to grab the Suits and navigate them where they want to be, before stress gets to their head. They have a bad tendency to explode when stressed out.
Ride the elevator as high as you can!
How to play
Controls:
Move around the lift with WASD or the arrow keys.
Grab a Suit by pressing and holding the spacebar.
Gameplay:
Suits will enter and exit the Lift as they see fit.
When a Suit holds a green heart sign, bring the Suit close to the item present on the sign.
When a Suit holds a red cross sign, bring the suit far from the item present on the sign.
A Suit that has an unfulfilled need will get more and more stressed, leading to the dreaded explosion.
Try to reach the highest floor!

I actually like the concept, the execution lacks a bit though. It is not clear what to do and what the game wants from me, I feel like I am losing too quickly and I am color blind, that doesn't help.
Sounds, the physics animation and art is really neat. Definitely feels unique.

A really fun, good looking, and funny game. I would have liked if the time it takes for the suits to become angry was a little longer as the later levels contained too many suits to move within the short amount of time. The swaying of the suits and the sound effects helped to make the game feel humorous and lively. Definitely one of my favorite entries.

Well, I'm not sure what to say :grinning: It was, ehm, very interesting experience. Suits' movement were really funny and together with the music, it was hilarious :grinning: I got to an eight floor.
Yours is nice and funny !
Maybe you lack a little bit of clarity though. Despite my reading of your gameplay/controls, I wasn't sure in game what to separate and what to group/how to do it. Maybe it's something about the way of moving characters around that is a little bit confusing and don't allow much control, I don't know.
Anyway it's good work !
