From the README

You are the lift. The lift is you. A 1920s Art-Deco lift-operator arcade game — one self-contained HTML file, no build step, no dependencies.

Deliver guests before they boil over. Three walk-outs and the management lets you go. Happy guests tip in good honest coin; deliveries open new floors, each adding one improvement of your choosing. The taller the tower, the stranger the guests — and sometimes something opens below the street.

MANUAL: arrow keys or scroll wheel drive the lever (momentum is the game), Space works the gate. AUTO: click a floor — the car does the driving; pure routing.
