Rogue Elevator

Rogue Elevator is a portrait mobile roguelite about one rotten ride up an impossible tower.

Every floor, the doors ding open and you choose your fate — combat, elite threats, treasure, rest, mystery, or a rare capped vault that spends a key on potions. Fights auto-play; your job is timing the hero’s special ability, popping belt potions, and reading the boss before it ruins your run. Climb themed stretches from corporate offices to a sunken temple, snag gear and relics, and cash failed climbs into Elevator Credits that unlock permanent upgrades and new heroes.

How it looks Stylized neon-noir 2D with bold portraits, glowing cyan and gold UI, and floor art that shifts identity every ten levels. Built for one-thumb portrait play on phones and the web.

How to play

1. Main menu — hit Play.
2. Optional Apothecary — spend Elevator Credits on up to 3 potions before you ride.
3. Pick a hero — Guardian tanks, Arcane Mage nukes, Vampire drains, Engineer deploys turrets, Gambler rolls high risk, Assassin crit-executes. Unlock more with Credits.
4. Choose a door each floor. Combat runs itself; tap the big ability button when the cooldown is ready. Tap potions on your belt when you need a burst of heal, rage, armor, speed, or luck.
5. Check Relics and Gear from the top bar. Boss floors hit every 10 floors.
6. When you fall, keep the Credits, buy passives, and climb again.

Short sessions. Dangerous doors. One more “just to floor 20.”
