Pretty clean UI, this game has some interesting floors, although some floors are just waiting simulators. The floors where something is chasing you are pretty hard since those things move so fast (I gotta admit though, it was pretty chaotic in a good way). Definitely has some potential.
You’ve got a pretty high quality game here! I can certainly tell there’s a lot of passion here! Playing alone, I can definitely feel the influence of the Source engine.
All of the UI is clean, and I can 100% feel the polish that went into everything. All the sounds sorta fading out after death, camera movement, etc. Especially the dynamic music when getting close to some of the aggressive NPCs. It’s a very polished experience!
I do however, agree with Dizazter about some of the floors are just waiting or looking around and sometimes they drag on for longer than they should, like some floors being 2 minutes long when I feel like they should have been a lot less than that.
Also, while the NPCs that come in the elevator are interesting, they don’t really do anything. They can be used as bait for some floors, but they just stand around like cardboard cutouts. At least having them say a weird or quirky phrase every once and awhile, have them walk around a little bit in the elevator, something to just breathe a little more life into them.
My final piece of feedback, is that while there’s a speaker on the elevator panel, there’s no music! I definitely think it would improve that small 15 second wait time between floors to be listening to something. Maybe some more classic styled elevator music (jazz or samba) or just really goofy meme music.
Overall, you got a really, really good game so far! As someone who’s currently working on an Elevator game as well, it’s super interesting to see how other people approach it! Like how your version of the elevator flooding is different from mine (I do however like your idea of the floor MUCH more than mine). I wish you the best of luck while continuing this project, and I’m interested to see how it goes!
The thumbnails of the game looks quite eye-catching in a “less is more” kind of way, which is something I really like to see for more games .
Wasn’t able to explore the whole game, but I think it would be good to label each update in your Patch Logs with the date. Hope you’ll be able to further develop your game!
