A very nice game!
I enjoyed the stressful feelings of juggling the passengers in the elevator, particularly when the second elevator came in. I feel it could have used some more challenge however, as the minimum $ to obtain stayed the same throughout the game. It's not very viable to try and negate all of the -5 debuffs, so I largely stuck to just filling up my elevators with the floors directly below and above the entrance lobby. Still addicting though! :)

I particularly enjoyed the music on the main menu, I think the VSTs used are put together very tastefully, the brass in particular is a standout sound. I'm envious you can write swing this well!
(By the way, it appears that the volume slider in your settings is broken.)

Graphically I felt overwhelmed at first, I didn't realise what was going on as it felt very visually packed. However, once I pieced together that it is a child creating a lego tower, it clicked. It's a very cute concept, I like it a lot :)

While my eyes were bleeding from the mish mash of art styles, I had a great time playing this game. I feel worth. The jaunty tunes were enjoyable while I crammed employees into my elevator.

Unlocking the second elevator adds a lot to this game, this was a lot of fun!

Such a self-disciplined elevator😌 The art is crazy lol and the sound was well made, making great busy atmosphere. It is simple and fun to play after some struggle to realize that elevator takes time and I should close door to move. And the second elevator make it even crazier lol. Nice work!!

社长牛逼！单人操作双电梯是天才设计！8bit音乐也很带感！Great Work！就是现在版本有个显示层级的小bug，后面几关低楼层的感叹号会被上面一层楼的地板遮住。

不知道为什么乘客刷新的非常快，第三关开始10秒后我就一直处于-5状态，全程没有一点点策略性可言，因为无论如何所有的楼层都是满员，即便我已经把电梯容量升级到最高。还有我以为只有顶楼会刷新带感叹号的人，后来发现是其他人的感叹号被楼层遮住了。I don't know why the passengers refresh so quickly. Ten seconds after starting the third level, I was constantly at -5 status, and there was absolutely no strategy to speak of throughout the process because no matter what, all floors were full, even though I had already upgraded the elevator capacity to the maximum. Also, I thought only the top floor would refresh people with exclamation marks, but later I found out that other people's exclamation marks were obscured by the floors.

The graphics and art style are very unique and cool! I liked the gameplay but felt the controls werent very responsive which made it hard to learn/make sure I was doing the right thing. Maybe some more feedback to acknowledge actions would help. Great work!

好离谱的游戏哈哈哈哈哈哈哈

The idea and graphics are just great!

The game seems hard for me, but I can't deny that this is a truly interesting game. The music is exciting and the pixel art makes the overall appearance more arcade-like. Focusing on the playing experience makes this game successful.

Really good game - I liked the collage graphic style and the gameplay (especially when you get onto the two-elevator levels) was interesting and fun. In the first couple of levels I was thinking "is this is? It's a bit slow" but then by the end I had maxed out both elevators and it was going really fast, and it was really fun. Great job!

游戏的音效不错，视觉和操控不是很友好，有些时候我不确定我是否关上或打开电梯门，有些时候我不知道电梯为什么不会立刻动起来（可能是因为门没有关）。不过总的来说，听觉上的体验不错，而且玩法也挺有意思。

It did take me a couple of goes to get the game running, not sure if it was the build or my internet connection (most likely my internet connection if I had to guess).

I did find the graphics a bit overwhelming but it create the hectic feel it seem like you were going for.

I would suggest having the values for the upgrades to increase with each purchase, because I knew I could get the required amount without needing to worry about the floors filling causing the -5 effect, I started just focusing on speed, with the slow speed being annoying for me but that encourages spending on the upgrade so I don't count it as a negative

Didn't try the two player mode as I don't have anyone available to play it with me at the moment..
