Simple, but addictive. Really nice job. The graphics are polished and clear. I'd love to see what else you could do with this concept.

How does your game fit the theme?
It's the circle of life. Weekend comes and you head to the mall to relax and do some shopping. Before you can enjoy yourself though, you have to overcome a challenge as old as time: Waiting for the elevators! But here's the secret: there's a person controlling them all along! Play as the Elevator Operator and move the customers, complete their loops with the elevator controller to earn as much money as you can.

Nice game, simple but effective concept! It would be cool if money could be used to improve thing, open shops etc. Keep it up!

Shape Fu MiInteresting take on the theme!
The first level was a bit long.
Audio was on point!
Nice to see that you made a postmortem!

Grapple Loop!Thank you for playing! I agree that the first level was a bit too simple for the length, will be working to adjust that.
Interesting that you mentioned the postmortem. I always try to write one right after the submission ended so I can sort of record my feelings and just reminds myself of what I can do better. Are you writing one too?
This is a fun and engaging game! I think the visuals and audio work really well together too. Really enjoyable!

NeverRoom [GMTKGameJam]Super cool game! I really liked the art style and the simple but fun elevator mechanic! Well made 👏

Water HeroI really loved the game! It reminds me a lot of the game I used to play in my childhood called "Alışveriş Caddesi." The art style is fantastic and fits perfectly with the overall vibe. Combined with the music, it creates a wonderful atmosphere. Great job , congratulations!

What We Left BehindI guess there are some ideas that didn’t make the cut. There is an empty panel on the right side, I hope there was something interesting there. Also, money, let us invest it in more speed, capacity or something.
I wouldn’t know what a win condition would be for such a game. I find that often when I can’t answer that question the answer is just “to beat other players’ scores”, you just need to add a leaderboard. Since you are using Godot, this one is free: https://silentwolf.com/

Loopy CarVery unique concept! I don't think I've seen a game about being an elevator operator before. However, the game needs more challenge as currently the gameplay only consists of pressing two buttons repeatedly.
If possible, please consider rating my game.

Karmic StaircaseThe elevated mechanics are very good. Could you evaluate it in the game? Thank you.

GREEN LOOPFills me with joy when I see the Godot logo, trully.
I was about to complain that theres no tutorial, but the game is literally called elevator operator and theres 2 buttons “1f” and “2f”, it was really easy to play honestly, so no need for tutorial I think.
The game is somehow super fun and satisfying, the sfx is very pleasing aswell, it feels good to pump as many dudes in the elevator as possible, seeking the perfect optimization. I was NOT expecting to like so much a game about controlling an elevator. Good job!

Escaping WorkOh thank you for the kind words! I’m very happy you had fun with my game.
I’m glad it wasn’t much trouble figuring out the controls. I actually feel pretty bad for not including a tutorial in the game, since I thought there’s a lot of rules that should be explained, but I guess in the end in didn’t matter too much.
Hey thanks for playing! I’m pleasantly surprised to hear that was how you feel about my game, thank you very much. Like most entries there’s just a lot of things that didn’t make the cut, but I definitely can update it to be better.
I also actually did plan to have keyboard shortcuts from the very beginning, but that was also not part of the MVP, so I didn’t get to it either.
Simple, but fun (and a little stressful). Would have been nice to have a bit more progressin in some way, or some more challenge overall, but for a game jam this is really solid!

Dice Dependencythe visual is really well done, I just hope there're more purpose for the money you get after the levels!

You Met Looper: OneOh, another Godot game! Cool! There were loads of them at this jam! It's a pleasure! :D
Otherwise, it's very neat and visually super cute! Impressive even! There's a certain satisfaction in getting so many little characters into the elevator to take them where they need to be. Really cool!

Love LaceThank you for playing. I do agree with you the theme interpretation was weak, I didn't spend that much time ideating. It was my intention to make the game more about optimizing your elevator movement, but it turns out to be just a bit like an idle game. Either way I will do some work to update the game after the jam incorporating all the feedback.
Nice little game! Simple idea executed very well. First level is very simple and teaches you the mechanics, and the others build nicely upon that. Had a few cases of levitating people but nothing bad. Satisfying game, great job!

Speed BanditSimple game that can get pretty hectic. It's really satisfying when you get a bunch of people in an elevator at once and send them to where they're meant to be. I can see what you mean by a couple of issues, though all I came across was the fact that the orange city background was not there. All the other art is really great though. Great game!
Submitted
Rule BreakerThank you for trying it out!
It’s not a bug that the orange background is not there haha. The simple fact is just that it wasn’t included in the jam build. I made the page visuals and the other “promotional” materials after the jam deadline. I was just scrambling to wrap up everything until the end, and the background was not part of it. I guess you could say it’s a bit misleading, but I figured it’s fine for a jam game only anyway, so I will update the game after the jam.
