Elevator Pitch

Still very early access and rough around the edges, but excited to see where it goes as development continues.

SUPER SUPER SUPER early access game! And it probably WILL be worth playing in the future. I like the concept, the art, and the music. There isn't much of a game. It's more like a cluster of assets. There's the skeleton of a gameplay loop in there, but not much else. The game starts out in an empty house with nothing to really interact with. There's a balcony you can go to that also has nothing to interact with. There's an empty calendar you can look at inside and that's it. And then once you start your pitches in the elevator, there's no way to get back to the house. I really wish there were more things to do. Maybe little items you can look at around the house that tell you about who this salesman you're playing as is. Maybe the house starts empty, but as you do well with pitches, you earn money to buy things to fill it with. But as it stands now, there's nothing. Also, about the actual gameplay loop, it gets repetitive very quickly. there are only a handful of pitches that get recycled. There's limited information about these pitches so you don't have any clues as to who your target audience is or what the tone is supposed to be, so some of it feels more like random guessing rather educated guessing. The elevator ride is also super short (answer 4 questions and then you're there) It would also be fun if there was more input after you make it to the top floor rather than just a blanket score board. Like if you actually had to present it to people, or if the boss gave you an overview of how you did. There isn't anything special if you get a perfect score, and if you get all the questions wrong, all that happens is the day restarts. I feel like this could be a really fun game. It's just SUPER SUPER SUPER early in development. Not sure why the creators chose to release it now rather than later. There simply isn't much here to critique. Most of the issues are just because it's early access. It has potential, it's just that a lot of it hasn't been realized yet. I would love to see more characters and some story, for example. The art has a fun pixel look to it (huge fan of pixel art), the music is jazzy, and I love the idea. And I will for sure be back to edit this review if and when then game actually gets made. It's a fun premise and I'd like to play it someday. Just, as it stands, there isn't really a game to play right now.
