The art is very cute! I haven't played Elevator Action so I was unsure at the start about what I am supposed to do, but I got the hang of it eventually.

Submitted

Loved the game but I kept having characters get stuck so it was very hard to actually play. Love the concept though and I think with bug fixes and more content I would buy this game.

Submitted

The art style is so cute! However the characters, even the spy can get stuck which forces you to restart.  I think if the characters interact with each other, it would make things more interesting. Really like the old school vibe, especially because its inspiration.

This game would've been my personal favourite, if it wasn't for the occasional character-getting-stuck-in-the-elevator. I wasn't able to move a character at all (they would get stuck when the elevator was waiting to catch them), and so wasn't able to experience the game fully :/. Still, the art is super unique, and I love the cute little "citizens"!

Developer

Thank youuu!! awww it means so much to us that you consider this as your personal favourite. We are looking to do some post-game jam updates. Please come play again after it is fixed.

The presentation is super cute and the concept super interesting but It's difficult not to get stuck

Developer

Thank youuuu for playing!! if we may ask, how do you stuck?

Submitted

I was intrigued by the concept but sadly the game was just very buggy. Sometimes people won't get in the elevator and when they do they just get stuck mid-floor or at the right side of the lift. And it would be helpful if you told in the tips that the spy is in the 10th floor but i guess i should've assumed that, but still it would be helpful. I liked the art tho but shame that it was buggy.

Developer

Thank you for playing!! We agree with you. We also have the same problem when we play-test it. however, we found it too late so we just couldn't smash the elevator bug.

Submitted

I couldn't figure out what to do. The spy seemed to pick up an item, multiple times, but nothing happened. Either it's bugged or there's something not being told.

Developer

Sorry to hear you couldn't enjoy our game. Right now, we found that pressing play more than once can break the game.

Idenya bagus, artnya juga sangat amazing dan stylized. cuma instruksinya kurang intuitif, awalnya ga sadar ada lantai 4 dst. karena visual liftnya udah mentok atas dan ga ada tanda panah atau hint ada lantai atasnya lagi, ato bisa juga dibikin cameranya ngikutin lifnya. clue siapa yang bisa buka pintu juga ga ada jadi bingung harus apa, ditambah ada bug di collider liftnya jadi karakternya gabisa masuk dan jadi macet gabisa gerak. semangat teruss space sodaaa, makin kerenn!!!

Nuhun mas Mogi udah nyoba main gamenya. Sebenernya kita agak nyadar pas udah akhir-akhir game jam. Takutnya ini kurang intuitif buat pemain. Sempet kepikiran buat bikin mini map juga. Tapi kayaknya kita akan bikin kameranya tilt dari bawahh ke atas pas intro game supaya nunjukin seberapa tingginya plus posisi spynya dimana. Nuhuuun mog!!

Submitted

very interesting game

Developer

Thank youuu!

Game seems like a super fun idea but unfortunately it is almost unplayably buggy for me.

Developer

Thank you for playing... sorry the bug ruins your game experience. 

Submitted

Love the art and the concept! My experience has been quite... buggy? I had the spy pick up both items and go to the bottom floor, then the blueprint respawned and the spy doesn't seem to open the door at the bottom? Otherwise, pretty fun idea!

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thank you for playing!! Yes! someone points out to us that if you click the play button more than once it'll break the UI on the game screen. So, winning or losing UI won't show up. 

Submitted

Fun idea! I'm really digging the games where you get to help characters achieve goals while playing a part of the environment :)

Developer

Thanks!! it's still buggy though. I hope I can fix it post-game jam.

Great game!

I didn't realise there were more floors outside of the floors on the starting screen, until I read the comments section. Maybe some indicators/arrows to show that there are more floors off-screen would be helpful?

Regardless it's a very neat idea and it looks great

Developer

Thanks for Playing!
When designing the game, I thought it was intuitive enough for players. So I didn't think that much. But after seeing the comments section, oh boy I was wrong. Thank you for your suggestion. I do think the game needs an indicator showing the off-screen floor. 

Submitted

Beautiful looking game! I love the characters and the animation work done! 

I was able to get the spy in the elevator but couldn't get him to do anything on the floors I dropped him off at. The red doors never opened for him. Am I missing something?

Developer(+1)

Thank youu! Thanks for playing!!

The red doors aren't opened by the spy, you need other people to open them and grab the item. I suppose it wasn't clear enough for people. Do you have any suggestions regarding this?

Submitted(+2)

Hmm, short term probably just add a "tips" section to the jam page underneath controls. 

Long term (after the jam) I recommend a tutorial level for a hotel that is all on one screen( 3 or 4 floors), teach movement of the elevator, how to get people to unlock the door, etc).

Let me know when you have this fixed, I'd love to try it again!

Submitted(+1)

I couldnt figure out what i had to do!

Developer

You need to help the spy to finish his missions without being discovered by mafia.

I feel like I'm missing something, there doesn't seem to be a spy? 

Same, Seems like the elevator goes up and down but couldn't figure out what else I can do.
But the art is REALLY cute!

Developer

The spy is at the top of the building, its 10th-floor building . You can grab people when they are near the elevator and transport them to another floor. The red door will open and drop the items you need to win.
