Community Insight:
Please make new floors that arent residential.
We love our fair share of iPhone games that we can pass time with or that we enjoy before bed. When we tell you Ive played this game for over 10 years and still go back to it Im not joking you. Its the best designed iPhone game we have run into. Its not full of ads, theres so much customization and detail. So many cute details in general- like the bitbook or certain floors you end up buying. Crazy amounts of references and just everything you could wish for from a game. You can go on it anytime, for any amount of time. Its one that youll always go back to and never get sick of. We could never explain all the little ins and outs without going on forever. Such a perfect game. Shout out to the makers of it – truly, this game holds so much nostalgia for us and we will continue to support you guys forever. Thank you for this masterpiece.
Best game ever, no need for explanation.
We always come back to this game, we constantly download and try games. We always come back to this.
Ive been playing tiny tower for years and love it so much! Its the only app that has never left our device. We especially love how unobtrusive ads are – theyre incorporated into gameplay, are completely optional, reward the user for watching, and dont disrupt the fun! It would be nice to have some sort of catalog or index letting us know the remaining floor options we have. As a longtime player, we want to know when to stop before Im stuck with blank floors.
You should try this game. Its really good. Its fun and no pop up ads. You get lots of visitors,Build floors, and you can always customize your characters.
This game and others by Nimblebit are all free to play and have fun. The developers have a good balance of free and pay to play options. We have spent 0 dollars across all their games and still have countless hours of fun. This is the way Free games should be. And even if you do pay to win, you just progress faster to the exponential zone of every game with open ended end game content.
Genuinely been one of our favorite games since we were a kid:D.
Ive been playing this game since 2012. Yes we can play it again and again. It never fails to amuse us.
This has been one of our favorite mobile games since we were in middle school! There is so much to do and its super easy to play. If you dont like ads you can block them in the settings or keep them and be rewarded higher! Love this company and this is definitely their best game.
Ive been playing this delightful game for more than a decade and it never gets old. Like all of Nimblebit Studios games it has a simple premise thats endlessly re-playable and theyre still updating it regularly.
Love this game, we even recently upgraded to VIP because we thought Build Custom Floor meant literally that, and not we could choose out of what was still unbuilt. We have literally built all of the floors! We were hoping to create new businesses or at minimum have some duplicates. We have a lot of unhappy residents that just want a job! So we like the game but the VIP upgrade wasnt worth it to us.
Honestly, we just had a go at the dice roll game, more like 9-12 or something like that, and we got stuck between this spot where if we got a one, Id be sent back a spot to our previous reward, and if we got a 6, Id get sent back to that previous one as well, we got nothing but 1s & 6s in every. Single. Try. Dear tiny tower, please fix this extremely annoying issue.
Its annoying Ive done this a few times youll roll you get so far to get a roll but then with some of the certain gifts they wont apply so like when it says $500 for the bucks that we rolled, we looked down at our balance of what we had And then we roll a 500 bucks and then we dont receive it which is crazy but this is not the first time that this is happened.
Ive been playing this game for so many years. We love it so much and theres always something to do. The tiny people are so adorable! So many ways to customize as well. This game is very close to our heart.
Love this game very hyper fixated on it :D.
Ive been playing Tiny Tower since it came out and we love it. You can play casually or competitively, every day or now and then. Lots of options to tweak. Build and rebuild! Its a great little game.
We've enjoyed this game for years! We honestly believe this game is the best next to pocket planes! Developers! Don't ever stop doing what you do! We appreciate you guys.
Love how personal this game got, so cute.
We have played this game a little and we like, it is simple but also has new stuff around every corner.
We get a great sense of nostalgia when playing this game and thats nothing we want to change.
We use to be addicted to this game when we were a kid and now its even better! But theres some issues to address. First off, the game will fry our phone up like its in the microwave to where itll start to lag severely and drain the battery, hope the devs can search for better optimizations in the near future. Second, when we go to watch an ad for a reward or prize, itll often extend the ad even longer than its initial 15-30 second video, which can be very infuriating. Other than the complaints we listed above, the game is amazing. Im looking forward to more content in the future.
Its kind of insane how much this game wants your money. Every few minutes the game puts another offer in your face, you can get free stuff from the store but youll need to scroll past all of the packages theyre willing to sell you in-between. Any time consuming task can be skipped with the premium currency or just straight up money from your wallet. We were hoping for something chill to play but constantly being asked for money is the opposite vibe Im looking for.
So fun! Been playing for like 10 years now.
Fantastic gameplay, free and always has to be unless you really feel the need to level up quickly but its not totally necessary. Great long term entertainment and strategy! Played for 2 years now and absolutely love it.
Its so addicting and a game you can have fun with without spending tooo much money lol, but without the dice it basically forces you to now, or just wait longer in between gaining enough money to up a level and thats not cool. Bring back the dice!! Also making the add a level to the house section 40,000 is ridiculous, that should be what it is on like the 20th house level NOT the first.
Ive played this game off and on throughout the years and Ive loved it every time we come back!!! We play it in our iPad so we can see all the pixel details, its truly the best.
This is the best game ever! Perfect game to take your mind off of crazy life. Test your knowledge of money which one will YOU do? Gain millions of coins? OR Lose millions of coins? Try now for free.
This game is awesome!!! So fun and comforting and not overwhelming with ads thank you guys.
Fun game but make the buttons more ergonomically placed. Feels like its still designed for an old school iphone.
We want more its fun we need it to be interactive we want to own this and pokemon go.
Ive been playing since before we had a phone when id have to ask our dad to play on his phones tower! Very relaxing love this game.
We will miss you always. Did try to play this game. Delete purely on not being able to clear the angry, red 'gift' notification.
We have been playing this game since the first version. It is nonstop fun.
We played this game as a kid and we redownloaded it recently and its sm fun.
Been playing on and off for years now. So far, the devs keep adding just enough new content and events to keep it fresh and fun. You can play with no ads, but you get some useful perks if you play a few a day. We are annoyed by the constant you earned X coins while you were away popup (why cant you add some fatigue timer to it so it only pops after a min amount?). But not enough to not play, obviously. Wish they had a $10 version.
Amazing game that always seems to keep our interest.
We think you guys should make more pixel games because your pixel games are really good and we also think you should make more games like tiny tower cause its sooo fun.
We used to love playing this game, especially when Im on an airplane. You didnt need to have cell data to play. Now Tiny Tower is ruined with so many ads to watch. The ads have drained our data for the month. After being a TT player for years, we are considering deleting the game.
We love this game but the Halloween event is making us want to quit playing. The spawn rate for candies is so low :( Ive only seen 3 candies spawn in our tower since it started. It seems like this event is more focused on getting people to spend money. Very disappointing- we wish TT didnt make us feel like we needed to buy things in order to progress in the game. 2 stars because its going downhill due to the abundance of micro transactions lately. Very disappointing. :(.
This is the only game that has been a must have on every device. We have loved and played this game for so long that we remember downloading a hacked version for our BlackBerry in like 2012.
Ive been playing this game for years now. Its cool because after a while the tower starts to run itself even if you forget to open the app for a bit. Its a easy low maintenance simulation game. Over the years theyve added a lot of cool features our goal is just to unlock all the floors so far Im at 70.
THIS GAME IS SO ADDICTING!!! It sounds like a regular game but once you actually start playing it, it gets so much fun!! We could play this for a whole day straight! And the characters are so cute and it makes us feel good to be around our little companions!! This is a great game.
The issue where restock boxes were not popping up along the bottom of the screen has been fixed. Love this game.
Now, theres little to no problems with the game, very enjoyable, very addictive, but something we would like you to add is the ability to use periods, both in Bitbook and in naming businesses. It hurts our head when we try using them and they dont appear in the text box.
Pretty sure ive had this game for 10 years now and its always fun to come back to. Would recommend its harder and harder to find mobile games now that dont make you watch a 2 minute ad ever ten seconds.
We randomly remembered this game and redownloaded it, fell in love with it again. It just so cute and fun. Now theres a lot of ads, but Im not mad about it because they give ads in a playable way. Youre never forced to watch, only when you want a reward. Perfect game to play when we have some time to kill.
We love the balance and its always been a fun game over the years, we always go back to it.
We used to play this game as a child but picked it up again and have actively been playing for the past to years. It is such a good game and distraction if youre bored.
This is our all time favorite mobile game. Ive been playing Tiny Tower for years and still love it after all this time. We love that the ads are optional and you can still play the game without them. The events are always great. We will love this game forever.
