Simple yet effective ! 

Nice use of primitives to create characters - the game is mesmerizing- well done :D

oh this is really cute. i actually played without my headphones on at first but noticed that you made the music so i put them on as i wrote this and its such a funny little tune for managing elevators hahaha.

i kinda wish i could just press the four buttons at will, especially for loading people into the elevator - i wanted to throw like 4 of them in a row at points even if that wasn't particularly the safest option, but you always have to wait for them to scoot up to the front of the line.

Neat little game with just the right level of complexity for the jam IMO.

Art and audio was good and I thought the little bit of narrative in the game was funny. Also appreciated the little tutorial at the beginning.

Nice one

Really interesting take on the concept! Loved the Foddian controls, definitely gets more chaotic as it goes on.

I love a paternoster elevator. I nearly got to go on one in real life but it was CLOSED whole time I was there : (. This game was a very cathartic experience. 
I think the controls might be a little bit easier to pick up if they were a forward and backwards rather than next to each other.

I also liked that the elevators are out of sync, that's a good balance features: Made feel nice and chaotic without being unfair. I got 80 passengers

A great effort, well done!

My best was 44 passengers before I lost. Interesting concept, I had never heard of a paternoster before, feels like you have some deep elevator lore!

Submitted

really unique idea maybe you could've made it where every 30 passenger use the elevator more elevator will spawn it will be more chaotic  that way

I may have crushed a few people but it was fun anyways

An inspired idea, perfect for a small game jam. Nice music!

Very fun gameplay, and the idea was very clever!
