Useful, but…
I wish we could mark it as completed after the fact. If I forget to mark it or if I don’t finish my task until past midnight, then I lose my streak even though I did it and I can’t fix it. It’s really frustrating.
Task Towers needs one extra small feature...
I love the simplicity of this app, and actually use it (with my piano students) because it DOESN’T have a lot of complicated features. That being said, there is one essential feature that is lacking. This is the ability to mark a habit as DONE retroactively in the case that the habit WAS completed. There have been many incidents in which students’ towers have self-destructed NOT because they didn’t practice, but because they forgot to mark their practice. This leads to discouragement, and sometimes even to students not wanting to track their practice anymore.

Very Helpful Indeed!
My tower crashed. I didn’t like that. I find that I am honestly making myself do more work than I would otherwise, because I don’t want my tower to crash. This is wonderful!
Full of bugs
Can’t undo a day that was marked by accident, have to delete app and reinstall. Can’t mark more than one day, it does not reset each day. Don’t download this app, it’s been abandoned.
A few more features would make it feel more game like
For what it is it’s great. However,it would be nice if there was a way to send someone a picture of all your towers for accountability purposes. Also, I think music and a good background story improves any game.
In most games, the player is dropped into a problem they need to help solve. In this case, are we rebuilding homes for these characters because of an earthquake? Or were they kidnapped from whatever land or planet they were originally on? Like a background story and maybe getting to read short character bios as they move in would feel rewarding I think. Also, maybe points to buy in game stuff like paint to decorate your towers. That last one could be a paid feature

Great Concept
Love the lo fi design and literal building of good habits 🌅👌🌅
Didn’t work at all
Only showed me one tick box, for the first day: the later days never showed another tick box so it does nothing. A shame as it seemed like a good idea.
I like it but would like it more if I could Retroactively Mark tasks as done
The application itself is basic. The graphics remind me of old 8 bit game graphics. It is a cool retro vibe. My biggest complaint is that if you forget to mark your progress the next day your tower is demolished. It would be good if you could go back the next day and retroactively Mark whether or not you completed the task

Fun But Very Limited
This app lets you do 3 things: add a habit that recurs on specific days of the week, mark a habit as done to add to its building (4 building types) and potentially draw in resident characters, and see the history of a habit.
It cannot: let you edit a habit's name or days, let you do anything with the building of a habit you no longer need to perform (such as demolish for points), show a city-like overview of all your buildings, let you mark a habit to recur a certain number of times a week without selecting specific days, let you undo marking a habit as done for the day, or anything else you can imagine.
It can also be buggy, sometimes not responding to swipe attempts to delete a habit or taps to enter the profile/settings view.
Bounty Tasker is a much more flexible gamified habit/task app. Better and Habitseed are also worth looking into.
I like this app, but its limitations (most of all in terms of making changes after something is created) are frustrating.

The best don’t break the chain app I’ve seen
Turns habits into a game you want to keep playing!
