Fifth Floor Elevator mirrors an everyday life situation: time wasted while waiting for an elevator and all the subsequent frustration brought by this. The game offers to eliminate this frustration in a pleasant way by taking control of several elevators to carry people to their destination floor. The more people appear, the harder it gets.

The goal is to carry a maximum number of people to their destination floor by sending elevators to the relevant floors. People will appear quicker and quicker as time goes by.

In Arcade mode, when the total number of people on the screen is above the maximum capacity of all the elevators, the game stops.
In Time Trial mode, the game stops at the end of the timer.
Arcade and Time Trial mode bring more diversity to the game whilst the interest stays similar between the two modes.
A comprehensive tutorial makes players start right away.

The game offers several options and features to match every player skill or make its gaming experience better. It includes:
_ Elevator feeling including switchboard and Muzak
_ People only boarding elevators going in their direction
_ Possibility to program several floors in advance...
_ ... then modify the route if needed by cancelling unwanted destinations
_ Use 2 or 4 elevators and adjust their maximum capacity to 4, 6 or 10 people
