I wish there were more games like this. It’s such a simple premise but so satisfyingly difficult after each level. And it even has a bit of randomish failure which makes for even more challenge.

If you buy the adorable monochrome console called the "Playdate" https://play.date it comes with a bunch of games included, including a cute elevator game where you help penguins to different floors while controlling the elevators yourself using the crank: https://play.date/games/flipper-lifter/

at a quick glance, it reminds me of "the farmer was replaced", if you havent seen/heard of that one

		and its sequel is also worth a mention https://store.steampowered.com/app/792100/7_Billion_Humans/ but imo, unlike farmer, these games reaaaaly lack the ability to make functions/subroutines manually doing all the goto loops becomes tiring

looks very well made, but I still prefer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevator_Action !

This is great, but to me, the definitive elevator scheduling game was SimTower.

		Sid Meier's Elevator Manager was such a great game... so much nostalgia.

I always come back to this game whenever I'm at a hotel for a conference waiting for the elevator.

Wow, I just came here to comment that I've always wondered if a game where you have to program an elevator scheduler would be any fun. I thought surely no-one's thought to make that before, too! Glad to be proven wrong.
