I love the elevator music haha, I like the structure and gameplay loop quite a bit too

Thanks! I made the music in  Soundtrap.

I had a little trouble with the shaking UI elements. Didn't manage to get past four floors. I like the randomization, absolutely great for replay value. Great work!

Thanks! I added the shaky UI as I had trouble showing that the player was moving. Which I thought would be better if I made the UI shake, where if it's not shaking, you're moving. What I did not predict is that this could hurt the player's head and make the text hard to read! I'll see if I can fix it even though the jam is over.
