Loco Lift Rush

You are a lift operator in a busy skyscraper. Your job is to move the lift up and down to pick up and drop off users as quickly as possible.

A stream of users will call the lift at various floors. You must stop to let them in and out. The users will get impatient if you take too long, so be quick!

Diary Entries

It's going well so far

I'm trying to be ruthless and keep the scope as minimal as possible, because I've failed to finish due to getting carried away and over-ambitious several times before.

My concept is super simple - you control a lift going up and down the floors of a skyscraper, collecting passengers before they lose their patience, and dropping them off at the floor they want. My working title is "Loco Lift Rush".

I've already got the core mechanics working, so I'm feeling really good about being able to finish - but I can't let myself get complacent! 

I'm going to spend the next couple of days (max!) on art, sound effects and music - not my strong suit - and then the last couple of days to playtest, bugfix and publish/submit.

Very pleased to have managed to submit a fully working game, although I'm sure there are some bugs, and I have a massive list of ideas for features that had to be mercilessly cut to be able to actually finish!

Massive thanks to my daughter Romilly who drew the characters and was a huge influence on the art style.

Good luck everyone! I need to get some sleep...
