You’ve awoken in a strange elevator that doesn’t seem to indicate what floor it is on. You know you’ve started on floor 1. Each floor makes different demands of your mental facilities. After you’ve completed the task, you must select an amount of floors to go up or down. You’ll need to keep track of your current floor yourself.

\n

Don’t let the time run out, and whatever you do, make sure you stay away from floor 13!

I liked the eerie look of the game, and the concept of having to do tasks whilst remembering where you were.

\n

The shudder mechanic was good, as were the door animations and zooming in/out.

\n

For me it was more of a mobile game than a desktop one.

I got 9 floors :) The concept is very interesting and the math exercices are quite varied. I had fun to play several times and I loved your interpretation of the theme !

Nice use of elevator. I did the game multiple times, I loved the variety of questions and sometime “inverted” questions between two attemps.

Super clever, I like the fact that you don’t need a tutorial to understand the game. You really get into it right away.\nThe sounds are very smart and well done.\nThe animations simple & effective.\nI ended up on level 13 and didn’t really understand why I lost!

\n

Really well done

Fun game! On the first play through I ran out of time, so second time I really wanted to stay ahead and well away from 13, but it turned out that the timer and the floors were not related. That made the 13 come out of the blue, I assumed your sums would have to keep you away from 13, that would have made the theme more a part of the game as opposed of a random ending.

\n

Still, engaging, not too difficult, but the clock ticking away especially with the sound does force you to think quicly.

\n

Great work!

Thanks for the feedback! I mention this in the instructions, You start on floor one, and after each level, you select the number of floors to go up/down. You’re supposed to keep track of what floor you’re on in your head and make sure not to pick the one that sends you to 13, so it isn’t random. If you forget what floor you are on, you can figure it out again when you get the puzzle that asks you your current floor, since you can’t move on until you get it right!

Nice game, it suites the theme.

An interesting quiz game that takes place in an elevator, with an elevator interface! Clever. I knew exactly what my goal was on each level, but I wasn’t sure what my overall goal was. Especially appreciated the animations between scenes. Well made game, nice work!

This is really, really clever. I love the fact that you’re challenging different parts of the brain here (with recollection, the math and the trivia-ish nature of the questions). Audio is clear and crisp too. My mark on controls here is how it is because of how great the buttons feel to interact with due to the sound and general design combined.
