I know. If floor 41 won't turn into a mapple store, I'll rage quit.Technosteve said:

My Mapple Store opened on the 22nd floor, I didn't think it'd turn up for agesbrotkasten said:

I pretty much agree with every negative criticism in here, but it's still hard to walk away from. At least it doesn't require money or bugging friends to progress...
I just constructed my 64th floor (no IAP) and I've been playing since the first or second day the game came out. The 65th floor costs 633,750. So even if someone bought the $29.99 IAP one time, that would give them 1000 bux to convert to 2,000,000 coins. That's barely enough to afford 3 floors at the stage I'm at.Zzoram said:
I'm currently #1309 on the leaderboards and dropping daily as more hacked saves flood the top spots. I was ranked in the #500 range when the game had only been out for a couple days, so I think hackers have gradually taken over as the game gets more public exposure. My guess is the top legitimate player might have around 80 to 85 floors built unless someone went overboard with in-app purchases.
The developer has stated that you will never have a duplicate floor, so most likely any score above

Yes. Especially freemium ones. It's stupid.Zzoram said:
Yes, it is. It's actually more enjoyable to play the game without any in-app purchases, I would think.
Yes and no. You can continue stocking your floors and earning money but if you can't proceed to climb up then there's really no point.
I'm interested to see what NimbleBit does in addition to this game. DLC of some sort? More default stores? Increased level cap? More elevators? Possibilities are endless, as they usually give their games great post-release support.
Wow, this one has such a great facade of being different than all the other Farmville games, and it quickly washes away. It isn't different whatsoever. It's exactly the same. If you've built one of each type of store you've already reached end-game, as far as I'm concerned.
This formula can be used for good. I know it can. But Tiny Tower is not the game that proves it.

It's a Toy Store!brotkasten said:

Why not demolish the toy store and try again? You'll have to wait for it to construct but it won't cost you anything.brotkasten said:
It's two of my bitizens' birthdays today, I just got a pop-up telling me so and got a tower bux for each one. Nice touch! Also I got my Mapple Store on floor 27. Good stock levels! I feel like I should build more residential floors to try and grab more dream jobs, but it's nowhere near as fun/satisfying as opening new businesses and seeing what they'll be. Plus it takes forever to move people in when you have a lot of floors, they should put a weighting on getting people to those floors rather than others, although then you wouldn't be using tower bux..

Once you've got a decent set of businesses, moving people in is effectively free anyway. If you move in fifteen people at a cost of fifteen Towerbux, you only need five of them to have their dream job available and you've not lost anything*. That's not hard to achieve once you've got 30-40 shops open in your tower, and the more stuff you open, the more you'll start coming out on top and making more Bux than it costs.
*Obviously technically you'd lose fifteen Bux by not getting the residents via the elevator, but for the amount of time that'd take it's not really worth worrying over.

Well yeah, you can still use the elevator in general but it's not efficient to use it specifically to fill an apartment quickly. With a 41 floor tower you've got a 2.5% chance of the bitizen wanting to go to the floor you want to move them in to, and then you've got to get that to happen five times (or more, if you're evicting crap bitizens). You'll be there for hours, and it only gets harder the more you build.Eggo said:

I have 4 people whose dream job is at the ship & print...I'm going to evict one just because

I think the dream job roulette is what makes this fun for me, it's definitely a rush to finally fill your businesses with dream jobbers.
50 floors, 87 tenants, 87 dream jobs. Whew.

50 floors, 72 of 82 dream jobs here. And no signs of me quitting this game. I've been slowing down in checking into my tower though, primarily just stocking the 3rd items for each store. For bucks, I've been farming them by moving people in and getting a very good success rate in getting dream job Bitizens. I don't care about evicting them!

I'm up at 2 in the morning because I'm only 3,500 coins away from my next floor with something like a 19 hour build time, and so if I do it before I go to bed I can open it tomorrow.
Stupid game :lol

Heh, I do babysit this game all day while I'm working, but they really shower you with enough free bux that it's pretty easy. Plus, paying for a new tenant that you have a dream job for gets you 3 bux, so you can constantly pump up your bux if you have a lucky streak with that stuff.Chopper said:
As far as who to evict, it's best not to go crazy with that till you hit 20 floors. Then, evict people who have the lowest numbers first, wait for elevator people to replace them or pay bux to do it faster, and eventually you'll start seeing people with dream jobs that you actually have in your building. I really think that's the real 'game' part that keeps me interested.
I have the Tutoring Center, but the other three are locked out. I'm guessing you need at least floor 50 before they are available. Currently have 38 floors. Also, the Cyber Cafe has more inventory than the Tutoring, so that's where my VIP goes. 36,000 every time I get a big spender.Hige said:
Awesome. I gave this a go last night, and I now have 66 bitizens out of 84 in their dream job. Took me about an hour, and I ended up with 15 more bucks than I started with!mattiewheels said:
Presumably, this is only really possible if you're not stocking anything? I did it towards the end of the night, after all my major products had re-stocked and before I set up my restocking to take place overnighht. Otherwise, you are severely restricted as to who you can evict.
But you're right. That was the most fun I've had with the game in ages!

Businesses are "locked" until you reach a certain floor. So you probably can't open a Mapple Store on the second floor when you start your tower because it's "locked" until your tower is 20 floors tall.Wallach said:
That's an example, I don't think anyone knows the actual specifics but that's the theory.
Yeah, I think the Mapple Store is a bad example. I got that quite early too. I'm at 49 floors, and haven't seen any of the rarer floors yet either. I don't think I'll see anything unusual for a long time, seeing as there are loads of common floors that I don't have yet.
I bet some of the floors are rare, and no-one seems to realise it cos they're boring. Does anyone have a Mens Fashion and Women's Fashion, for example? I'm past being able to find this stuff out. And I'm too anal to just build one kind of floor for ages in an attempt to get the later stuff.
I did not think this thread would last at all, but if anything, it looks like people are getting more enthused by this game as time goes on! Gambling for dream jobs has really livened it up for me!

I just came here to say that I hate all the small food shops.
