Love to see a story point and click! I have not seen other entries in this genre, it is very refreshing :) Managed to do all of the side quests and complete the game 

I thought the elevator could go a bit quicker between the top floor and next one down, maybe adding momentum as you go to make it feel more satisfying? 

I think if there was some indicator of which floors you already visited or other trackers would be useful, as some floors had nothing to do/collect and I found myself visiting them again when I forgot where I have been already :D

However it was only 4 days and you delivered a complete, polished game! Good work!

Thanks for playing and thank you for your feedback :D

I actually felt like the elevator was kind of slow regarding gameplay, but almost too fast to see the scrolling background and stuff like that. Accelerating it really fast between floors and slowing it down towards the ends of the floor would actually be a great way to fix that!

Submitted

Short and fun, nice simple art style and I like the fact that there are bonus side quests! Good idea for the theme!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

Very neat and clean point and click. How do you water the plants and feed the cat in the same run? You only get two coins. Did I miss one?

I like the windows in the elevator. Makes you feel like you're going somewhere. I think you could get a more accurate simulation if the floor counter slowed down a little when you get within 2 floors of your target. Also some more hokey music. It is an elevator after all.

Great work!

Developer

You can get a total of three coins and one water bottle. Then you can use one coin to buy water and one coin to buy cat food and have one coin left.

Thank you for playing!

Short but really cool point and click escape room. I love the persective from the elevator cause youre always wondering what youre gonna see.  Could definitly see a larger game beeing build on this foundation. Fun stuff!

Developer

Thank you :D

Submitted

I like the  concept and perspective. It threw me that the elevator seems to be animating backwards (up-> down and down->up) and it also tickled me that we're taking the elevator when the building is on fire. It has the makings of a fetch quest puzzle, just needs more puzzle elements. Nice art as well.

Developer

Thank you :D

Actually the elevator animation just looks wrong due to the speed, it is really weird… And I really hadn’t thought about the problem of taking an elevator while the building is burning.

Submitted

The art is interesting and the ambiance cozy. Not a lot of content but puzzle/story games hard long to correctly setup so not surprised for a jam. Not a lot of chained actions and with simple brute force, we finish rapidly. That is maybe what I missed more than the quantity itself.

Was there a reason to have a 31st floor with nothing in between? It felt a little out of place when all others are <15.

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I focused mostly on the art and neglected pretty much the rest… There is not really a reason that the 31st floor is the top floor with nothing in between, when I started making the game I made so many floors and then just had nothing to fill them with and didn’t bother moving the floor further down.

Submitted

Love the art style! Such a lovely little puzzle game. A few more floors would have been cool, but it's still a great game :)

Developer

Thank you :)

Submitted

Fab game, love me a point and click escape room style game. Really well done, lovely artwork. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!!

Submitted

Really cute game. I liked the art style. I loved that there are side quests. I didn't buy the cat food at first (nor had I gone to the top floor) when I got the golden key. Before exiting the building I went up to the top, found the cat and I immediately went to go back to buy the food, I couldn't left them without it. What's the name of the cat?


Anyways, I've would love if this game was a bit more longer, I think the unused floors are a great real state to add more stuff (either for the main path or the side quests, both would be great). Nice job :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! I didn’t really have time to add more puzzles… Also the cat doesn’t really have a name, you can name it if you want?

Thank you for playing :D

Submitted

Very cute game the art was amazing! Had a great time playing!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Nice escape room, and of course there's no game that wouldn't benefit from a cat

Developer

Thank you :D

Submitted

This is a nice story driven little puzzle game. There's a kind of "memory" mechanics which is well executed. Bravo!

Developer

Thanks :)

Submitted

Super cute game! I like the addition of the side quests, but I do think that the main quest should have been a little bit more complex, it feels like you find the golden key way before you're even close to finishing the rest of the quests. still, a fun game with some nice polish!

Developer

Yeah, jam time was kind of short and I didn’t really have a lot of time to playtest and build a more complex puzzle. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Nicely drawn and I liked discovering what was on all the floors.

The 4 second music loop drove me crazy haha.

Developer

Yeah… I basically started working on the sound effects 3 hours before submitting so I just used the first somewhat okay music loop I found. I wanted to add individual sound settings for music, sfx, … but I didn’t have time for that.

Thanks for playing!

It's a nice and cozy puzzle game. Though the fire is all over the office and no one's even worried about it is brutal.

I tried to search for more secrets in all the floors, and trying to open the door while the elevator is moving, which didn't work. I also tried to use all my money on the cat's food, but it seems nothing happened. (If there is actually something please tell me, I'll try it out.)

Love the feeling of the game.

Developer(+1)

I spent most of the time working on the art, so I unfortunately didn’t have a lot of time to add secrets or additional puzzles.

You can use the cat food on the top floor to feed the cat after which some heart particles will appear (you only need one cat food for that, the other is useless).

Also it is intentional that you can’t open the doors while the elevator moving, but there is a bug which allows you to do that regardless. Basically you close the doors and select a floor, and as soon as the elevator reaches that floor you select another floor. This way the elevator starts opening the doors, but also moves towards the other floor.

Thank you for playing! :D

Yeah, I have fed the cat with twice amount of food, hoping somebody save it from the deadly office. 

he(or she)'s cute.

Cozy simple puzzle game. I really liked the  pixel art. I did all the side quests. Good visible interactivity and polish. It would be cool to see this expanded  with more complex puzzles.

Developer(+1)

Thank you!

Developer

Thank you!! I really wanted to add more things to interact with, but the game jam time was really short :D
