Nice, this has a cute feel to it. I smiled about some of the gossip at the bottom. Tiny suggestions: make the space bar pause/unpause, and for my ears the background music could be way quieter compared to the sound effects - with the default settings I thought the game had no sound yet. Will definitely play more in the evening!

Thanks for the feedback! If you hold the volume button it opens up sliders to adjust the music/ambient noise levels. I should make this more obvious, probably.

No it's fine, I had no trouble finding the sound settings! My remark was just about the defaults (and probably is more of an individual preference anyway)

A few friendly suggestions:

- Building a floor and then the room/office is a bit annoying…. Should auto build the floor (like Sim Tower)

- Stairs are difficult to build, it should be possible to build a vertical column, seems you always have to build horizontally?

- It should be possible to have multiple elevator cars in 1 shaft. Of course this is not possible in real life, but we are looking at a 2D shape of a 3D building. Either that or reduce the demand on the elevators

- In real life, Stairs and Elevators generally share a fire space away from residential, that should be encouraged

Putting several elevators right next to each other seems to work nicely.
