Silent Killer: Hoistway Havoc
A blue-collar arcade shooter set inside a living hoistway. Ride the car top, throw tools, dodge citations, and survive the silent killer: the counterweight frame. Elevator trade humor with mechanical love baked into every pixel: specific, gritty, and respectful of the craft.
QUICK FACTS
----------------
* Genre: Arcade shooter / survival dodge-em-up
* Fantasy: Elevator mechanic holding the line against hoistway chaos
* Sessions: Endless + 8-Hour Shift + Boss Rush + Callback + Training + Overtime + Turbo
DESIGN PILLARS
----------------
* Mechanical authenticity: ropes, sheaves, guides, and counterweight behavior read "real" to the trade.
* Blue-collar tension: hazard stripes, machine-room hues, and the existential dread of a quiet hoistway.
* Readable chaos: dense detail, but hitboxes and feedback stay legible.
* Weight and sway: micro-oscillations, IK arms, and weighty kinematics.
* Trade humor: the only game where a "callback" is both a mode and a threat.
CORE LOOP (A Shift in Five Steps)
------------------------------------
1. Drift the car toward your pointer (smooth, weighty follow).
2. Auto-fire tools to clear hazards, enemies, and bosses.
3. Spend Union Breaks (panic clears) when the shaft gets spicy.
4. Stack wages to climb floors, raise difficulty, and trigger bosses.
5. Collect power-ups to climb tool tiers and survive.
WEAPONS & POWER-UPS

* Tool Tiers: Wrench, Meter, Sheave, Tool Rig (Impact/Channel Locks), Fuse
* Power-Ups: Coffee, Energy Drink, Hard Hat, Per Diem, Lockout Tag

THE SILENT KILLER (Counterweight)
------------------------------------
* Massive counterweight frame scrolls down the edge rails.
