What it does
The Lift is a retro-style puzzle where you plan the elevator route to deliver every passenger to the correct floor. Each building becomes a small logistics challenge to solve. I came up with this mechanic 8 years ago while working as a CTO. Now, after leaving the corporate world to become an indie developer, I finally built the game — in just 7 days using AI tools.
Plan the route. Run the elevator. Deliver everyone. A pixel-art elevator puzzle game for iOS.
Tap floors to build your elevator route. Every stop matters—find the optimal path to deliver all passengers. Hit GO and watch your plan unfold. The elevator follows your route—every millisecond counts for the leaderboard. Heavier loads slow the elevator going up but speed it going down. Master the physics to beat every level. From a Bali villa to a New York tower, each building brings new challenges and pixel-art style. Carefully designed puzzles with increasing complexity, more floors, and tighter timing. Story mode for progression, Survival for endless action, and Puzzle mode for brain teasers. Passenger weight affects elevator speed. More people going up means slower…from codethelift.com
