The casual elevator game, Going Up, now graces Android devices after a successful App Store launch. This unique puzzle game, the brainchild of Dylan Kwok, offers a surprisingly engaging challenge: efficiently managing elevators in a busy skyscraper.
The Elevator Management Experience
Going Up places you in control of elevators within a mysterious high-rise, populated by a diverse cast of characters. From impatient executives to bewildered tourists, your task is to swiftly transport everyone to their destinations.
The core gameplay is deceptively simple: manage elevators and passengers. However, the real test lies in optimizing elevator routes. The difficulty ramps up progressively, starting with basic routes and escalating to juggling multiple elevators simultaneously, each with its own quirks (some might skip floors or operate on specific levels). Keeping your passengers content adds another layer of complexity.
Passengers aren't just passive NPCs; they're integral to the experience, each reacting differently to your elevator management. Expect a variety of scenarios, from aggressive complaints about slow service to confused requests for directions.
