Please keep developing!

I love this game, it’s a perfect mashup of fallout shelter and tiny tower! I just wish it was developed a bit more, like the bitizens tab! It’d be really nice to be able to view the list of people in my shelter. Please please please keep going, I love it!

It’s Nimblebit! Of course, it’s a great game!

Overall, it’s a cool game. Like others have said, it’s Tiny Tower in reverse. Instead of building upward, your survivors build their shelter underground. I also enjoy the 8-bit graphics. Like I said, It’s Nimblebit! They’re one of my favorite developers. I’ve been playing many of their games for years.

I realize this is a new game so it’s going to have a few hiccups. Hopefully, they will add more music and a help guide that we can refer to, just in case we raced through the tutorial and want to know how to get more weapons for our survivors. I also hope they will fix their progression ad reward because the way it’s set up now makes no sense to me. Also, I’m hoping for more rooms that don’t look alike, as well as the “twin and triplet” survivors.

I look forward to seeing what’s coming up next for this game.

Solid start!

Fun shelter game, one thing I would suggest adding asap is some sort of menu where you can scroll through your civilians and see their stats, what they have equipped, where they are working ect… would make managing the shelter and trying to be more efficient much easier!

Already much fun!

If you liked TinyTower this is the best new thing with similar features but new dynamic!

Can’t Wait

This is exactly what I was looking for! Different elements from Tiny Tower and the graphics are really cute. Enjoying what is available now and I’m really excited to see what future updates bring!

Good start

I like the theme, new game mechanics and that continued pixel theme from Tiny Tower. There is still plenty of room form improvements, though. Game appears to be lacking content, accessibility features like room selection, limited visuals and of course no bitizen and room customisation. Hopefully these things will come.
I’d happily pay for content as long as it does not become bloated like Tiny Tower with all the events and collectibles.

No micro transactions…yet

Huge fan of nimblebit. Just hope this doesn’t turn into another situation where it isn’t fun unless you buy the alternative currency like tiny tower.

Worse version of Tiny Tower

the mechanics of this is just like Tiny Tower but now there's efficiency to the tasks and you build down instead of up... wow.

Ok but broken

I like playing it but after I rebuilt the shelter the second time the game gets stuck when assigning people to jobs so I have to close and reopen the app, and I can’t send any expeditions because it won’t show me people on standby. Wont show the all people tab or the unnassigned people tab

3rd rebirth

i LOVE THIS GAME but i played the game twice untill the 3rd rebirth and both times it would make the game unplayable with my 6 bitizens i take with me being unemployable and then the beginning dormitory isn’t even intractable. along with this the expositions past the 3rd rebirth are un-intractable as well definitely would love to see a new update fixing this issue because i hate playing the game over and over again just to run into the same issue

Amazing Evolution

this game is amazing thank you devs

nice

good game plz add more randomized character skins and customization options for rooms. 3 star now that it’s impossible to get random 8/9 star citizens

Cute but glitchy

I really enjoyed this at first, but after I got to level 3 it got super glitchy. I couldn’t open one of the living quarters to see my bitizens, and I had a high stat person that genuinely didn’t appear anywhere and I couldn’t assign them to anything. Sometimes the Menu or X in the bottom right wouldn’t work, I’d get stuck and I’d have to close out the app and restart. I then couldn’t do any missions because of this glitch. I really liked it but I hope they can improve upon it so I can play again!

Amazing game but could use features

I love this game. I have played pocket planes and tiny tower. This is just as good. My only critique so far is there should be a way for us to choose the amenities, i keep getting art studio over and over. That and more chance to get weapons and gear from expeditions? It feels impossible.

Awesome zombie survival game

This game is great and I can’t wait to see how it progresses. Keep up the good work development team..

Pretty Entertaining for a Beta

The title speaks for itself, I’m excited to see how they update this and add new content to the game!

A good start needing work

Nimblebit has long put out many fun games so I expect they’ll evolve this one to match their usual quality since this is still in beta.

Wishlist:
1) after I complete a mission, don’t make me reopen the window just to get the prize. It’s incredibly annoying to have unnecessary popups like this. Just give the box when the mission target is clicked upon

2) expeditions need to have some value. I’ve quit bothering with them altogether in recent rebuilds. They seem to only hurt morale, and the rewards aren’t really that interesting. Even if I found a new weapon or armor, they don’t carry into the next rebuild so they have trivial value.

3) speaking of morale, we need some way to understand how morale is calculated. It seems to be tied to water and food supplies but it is clearly more than that. I have no idea what to do to improve it.

Amazing Game, but UI still needs to be tweaked

Love the game, and love that it is basically tiny tower with zombies. My only gripe is that on my iPhone 15 pro max it has the Dynamic Island. When trying to view the stats with the drop down menu up top, some of the stats are blocked by the island. Other than that it’s amazing! Can’t wait to see what future updates bring!

UI on iPad is horrendous

I see based on the reviews it not just me who’s iPad cuts off parts of the screen. Also not able to scroll between different rooms I want to make.

I like it

Being able to prestige people so you can keep them when you upgrade the shelter would be nice, and the ability to move people to different living quarters
