Elevator Pursuit – Casual Game Review
Elevator Pursuit is a Casual/Action game from Falco Labs, Inc., first launched in 19th March 2020.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 24+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Elevator Pursuit Stand Out
The player assumes the role of Agent 17, code name: "Otto", a secret agent for an unspecified organization or government. Otto enters a 30-story building at roof level and must work his way down to the basement, collecting secret documents whose locations are marked by blue doors. Along the way, he must use the building's elevator and escalator systems to move from floor to floor and avoid or kill the enemy agents trying to stop him. After picking up all the documents, Otto can escape to the basement and drive away in a waiting car to end the level.
Otto can move left and right, jump, duck, and fire from his pistol. While Otto is in an elevator, the player can push up or down to send him to a higher or lower floor; however, Otto cannot duck as long as he is inside. He can run or jump across an empty shaft as long as the elevator is above him, and can ride on its roof but not control its motion or cross to the other side. The player can push up or down to make Otto ride an escalator.
If Otto tries to leave the building without collecting all the documents, he will be transported to the highest floor that still has an unopened red door and must work his way back down. In addition, if he takes too long to clear a level, an alarm will sound; the enemy agents then become more aggressive, and the elevators will be slower to respond to the player's joystick movements.
Each building contains a section in which the lights are out, making it harder to see approaching enemies. On other floors, Otto can temporarily disable the lights by shooting one of the overhead fixtures. Otto can kill enemy agents by shooting them. If he is shot or crushed, or if he falls down an open shaft, the player loses one life.
This Casual game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Game crashes on level 2. Also, there is a bug in with earning 1200 coins. If you watch several videos, the counter will go into the negative and you will not get your reward.
We like the game a lot but it seems to have a major glitch. We cannot seem to get past level one. When we finish level one the game says level two and then turns itself off. Any suggestions or is there a known fix? Falco, please help! We even tried buying upgrades.
Game doesnt work! Controls are no good & you cant get past level 2.
The game is challenging and fun (definitely addicting), but every single time we finish level one and deal with the ad, the app crashes. It asks us if we want to resume to, what we presume will be, level two, the app crashes. When we get back into the app, it starts over. We were considering dropping the funds to buy this thing, but not if it cant even make it to level two without crashing.
Really fun game, very addictive. Even better now with the upgrades.
Our boys and we loved this game. Hours of fun.
We love this game. So addicting. The developers did a wonderful job.
Loved this in the arcade and happy to see it return. Would play it more but the controls are clunky and inconsistent, and the gameplay is not great. Frustrating to lose a man jumping down just half a floor, hard to get green doors open consistently, gun only works half the time when youre on the elevator… If this develops more, Ill be a regular.
