The music gives this an absolutely mad vibe, never felt so excited about an escalator. Love it

This is a crazy idea ! Very simple, and yet (personnaly), very effective and entertaining !
Really like it, well done !

Update : Went to the end... Once I understood that I could level up by clicking on the number on the upper right of the screen... You should add a more explicit explanation to your description of the give imo ! :)

@congeesetador ahaha :) I think that climbing that many floors is even more unbearable than waiting for the elevator. So the game character have the slightest idea what's up there.

But at the end of the game, there is a little animation that rewards you for your suffering ;)

@donamougou thank you! yeah, i'll think about that :)

Congeesetador16 Apr 2024, 01:12

@arti-dev i take it as a challenge then! i really hope my wifi doesnt cut out or something but im making some progress

Congeesetador16 Apr 2024, 01:16

@donamougou wait u can upgrade?! i went down almost 50,000 levels without upgrading i thought that was the whole purpose of the game T-T right after i upgraded i immediately won

Arti Devauthor16 Apr 2024, 01:17

@congeesetador you could use upgrades. press the button at the top-right corner.
wow, it's madness that you went so far without them :O

Arti Devauthor16 Apr 2024, 01:19

@congeesetador yep, i need to make it much clearer :) you're not the only one, who don't understand it

Congeesetador16 Apr 2024, 01:37

@arti-dev i think it's time for my review, I really enjoyed this game, i didnt think i would enjoy it this much seeing how it was such a simple game but it gave me a challenge, the music was fun and upbeat which i enjoyed and it made playing the game better, i spent quite a while trying to beat my own personal best but i cant get past this no matter how hard i try but i still think it was a decent record. You made a great game for this jam! Good job!

@congeesetador How did you do it in 1 minute wtf? nice

Adrien Tremblay16 Apr 2024, 02:07

Very funny take on the theme! The music was also amazing!

Congeesetador16 Apr 2024, 02:13

@adrien-tremblay I have my ways :)

LDJam user 38457817 Apr 2024, 18:19

Incredible mood overall, love the global idea. And really cool music

This crazy game made my hand nearly cramp.

Sariiger19 Apr 2024, 13:08

This game really scratches the itch when it comes to my guilty pleasure of clicker/idle games.
Surprisingly satisfying (although short) game, and an interesting take on the concept.

This is stupid. Loving it. 10/10

braktheman20 Apr 2024, 05:45

Was always fun seeing which upgrades would show up next. It took me four minutes to get the elevator down so I feel like a rookie compared to some of the other times, but as a fan of idlers this one checked a lot of boxes for me. Great work! Keep it up!

Gonzo1320 Apr 2024, 12:17

The best theme implementation! :smile: imho

Arti Devauthor20 Apr 2024, 13:30

@dams333 @memnarch @sariiger @gonzo thank you!

Arti Devauthor20 Apr 2024, 13:31

@jupiterintardis ahah, hope it's not permanent

Arti Devauthor20 Apr 2024, 13:37

@braktheman thank you! My record is 2 minutes and 20 seconds. Actually, I have no idea how to beat the game in one minute.

LDJam user 37416820 Apr 2024, 18:34

Super simple clicker game yet oddly satisfying, getting a bunch of upgrades and speeding up the elevator. Not much else to say, this was short and sweet. Well done with the game!

This game put a smile on my face, the simplicity of it is great. It reminds me of a Wario Ware mini game haha. The only big problem I have, it's kinda visually not engaging, it would've been cool to maybe have a TV on the wall showing inside the elevator with people freaking out the faster it got. But seriously, I enjoyed this for what it was.

Arti Devauthor20 Apr 2024, 21:36

@alzhu1 thank you!
@beeb-gamecodecompany thank you, freaking passengers is a great idea :)

I had a good time playing your game! I really liked how the complexity and franticness built over time depending on your upgrade choices. I do with there were keyboard shortcuts, that would make the game easier for me (trackpad user). But that is also a balance thing, since you wouldn't have to stop pounding the button to initiate an upgrade, so I get it.

Not the high score, I know, but I still had fun. Cool entry!
