Long time player

I love this cute retro game. I haven’t been playing consistently but I have played it since roughly 2013 and still love it.

!!!!!!

I used to love this game. Replayed it many times. I saw the new custom options decided to play again. But this time all the ads and ! really really killed the original tranquility vibe. It’s now just another ad bait game with too many reward systems. It’s no longer a nice quiet simple game. It’s a game dying to rip money off you. RIP.

Keep coming back

Tiny Tower is a game that I often return to. It’s always a bit awkward at first since my past towers aren’t saved but that’s not the end of the world. It’s cute and there’s something very pleasing about the game.
