Android New Game: Optimizing Elevator Rides for Efficiency

The casual elevator game, Going Up, now has an Android version! Created by Dylan Kwok, this unique puzzle game challenges you to efficiently transport a diverse cast of passengers.

The Elevator Management Experience

Going Up places you in control of elevators within a mysterious skyscraper populated by a variety of quirky characters – from impatient executives to bewildered tourists. Your task is to get everyone to their destination swiftly and effectively.

The gameplay is deceptively simple: manage elevators and passengers. However, the challenge lies in optimizing elevator movement, a task that grows increasingly complex with each level. You'll start with basic routes, but soon find yourself juggling multiple elevators, some with unique mechanics like floor skipping or level restrictions. Efficient management is key to keeping your passengers satisfied.

The passengers themselves are far from simple NPCs; they add to the game's charm and challenge. Some may react aggressively to slow service, while others might struggle to remember their floor. The variety of scenarios keeps things interesting!
