My phantoms are in my theatre, and I put mimes in the book store. Gotta be quiet, library conditions! I don't have a costume for the music store, but my record store is staffed by people with headphones on
I did that for my gym (headphones people). Record store is staffed by the hippie looking dudes, recording studio by the leather jacket/jeans/sunglasses people.

I can't believe some of you guys haven't named all your stores.. that is definitely a huge part of the continued appeal in my case. Most of them are real store names although a few are just for fun. My Dentist is called Grillz. My detective's office (although dressed as Sherlock) is named Mars Det. Agency.

will i get notified like iOS (does it work in the background)?

If you press home it stays in the background it seems (and give you coins when you go back in), but if you press back it will ask you if you want to quit then it won't stay in the background.

Not sure about notifications. I am getting "XX wants to be your friend" notifications from Mobage though...

Tiny Tower for Android out now!

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mobage.ww.a560.tinytower_android

I wish I could transfer the save from my iPod to my Nexus One :(
I just wish they had a stupid syncing system in place. Just upload it when the app is quit and redownload it when it is opened. It's not much data and could be compressed into a single string. Then I could play on my iPod at home, then my Optimus at work.

Though I'm still wishing for a stupid syncing system for Angry Birds which was promised MONTHS ago so, here we are.

Seriously though, it's 2011. I shouldn't have to play my cross-platform game on one device because there isn't a syncing system in place. Take a page from Steam for criminy's sake.

Oh no its out for android :(

I've heard about all the hype, so I decided to dip my toes in about an hour or two.

Is there a noob guide?

Just built my last floor until the update comes out. Gonna spend the next few days waiting just saving up coins and Bux. 70 hours left until my final floor, a Karaoke Club, finally opens.

Update is out oommmmggg time to build all my shit


What's New in Version 1.5

- NEW MISSIONS! There are now missions for you to complete from the main menu! Complete them by collecting (via stocking) the required products from the floors in your tower.

- GIFTING! You can now gift stock to friends through the floor focus menu (use the quick sell button)!

- Added star graphics for each floor to show the number of dream jobbers employed there.

- NEW FLOORS AND COSTUMES!

- Reworked sound code.

- Fixed other minor issues.

I wish you could use stock you already have to complete missions. In any case, it's nice to have another source of bux and just something extra to do in the game.

While I'm grateful for the stars that indicate how many dream jobbers I have staffed in each business, they are soooooooooo ugly.

Hot damn. I was trying to get as far as I could before this dropped and I hit 140 floors. How many floors are there now and how many of each?

Oh man. I don't even get time to rest. lol

Edit: My last floor before the update was 145. That's 54 residential and 18 of each business. This update adds I guess one of each business and 3 residential at least.

If you don't want to know what they are, don't read:
5 new commercial floors: Animation Studio, Candle Shop, Court, Donut Shop & Haunted House!
3 new residential floors: Magic Apts., Roman Apts. & Egyptian Apts.!
 
Quests are awfully done. Even if you have the product, you have to wait until all is consumed, then restock it, and it will be applied when you restock.

Yeah, missions is a poor way to get bux. Milking dream jobs is still the best way. It's just another thing to fulfill I guess.

And gifting requires bux. I'm not giving out shit. lol.

They changed it so if I accidentally tap on a product I have in stock instead of the one I want to stock, the dialog that comes up no longer says "Cancel" "Accept" with Cancel being under my left thumb. Now the button there is a "Sell" button and requires me to tap again. Fuck. I don't want to gift my items. Was there really an outcry for that?

I was checking someone else's tower and two of my missions were sent to the "complete" tab automatically (and I didn't get any bux). Annoying bug.

Just finished all my missions. Holy fuck so easy. Why arent there more missions?

1 more day till my new stores get built....dream job that and I'm done maybe. Getting bored.

Yep, all my missions done, also. Come on, why they can't spend a few hours making 200 missions and making new missions appear each day? Mission name, costume, product1, amount1, product2, amount2, reward. Is not so difficult.

I still don't have all jobs, but I already built all the residential ones, so I'm going to get hundreds of bucks only finding the dream job people for the new 5 jobs.

The missions list is getting updated every Wednesday...

... With one new mission a week.

Got that this morning too. They do it occasionally. It's really nothing for us veterans. They should scale it up depending on the floor count. A Million would be useful. Even 100,000 would be nothing.

Lots of stuff should scale as your floor count rises. Ah, well.

The Android version is such trash. Missing all the new stuff from the iOS versions and takes 30 seconds at least to load. When it takes about that much time to complete your actions, that really breaks my enjoyment of the game.

All my new citizens are super lame. They all want to work for places I don't have, or have horrible, horrible stats for something that I've already maxed out.

Only takes me about 15 sec from open to being able to use it on my 18 month old phone (DInc). Only reason it takes this long is the whole mandatory connection process, too bad you can't turn that off.

They're worth a free 2 bux if you swap them temporarily. Keep the ones for stores you don't have to fill up stores you do have but have no dreamers for.


No thanks!
Why even turn that down? Why do they even give a choice? It's not like it's a game outcome changer. It should just be "Okay". That's like saying "No thanks, I don't need an Oscar. I just did it for the acting experience."

Uh, completed one mission and now suddenly all missions are marked 'completed' and I didn't get a reward for the one I did complete. :S anyone else got this?

May contain jokes =>
I thought the Android version of this might get me back into playing it but it has failed miserably. First of all it's about three releases behind. Secondly it uses Mobage.which is an absolute shit piece of software. Also you can't play if not connected to data or wifi. Finally, the majority of the time the game is not progressing when I'm not playing, so I get no money.

I dunno if the devs read here, but if so please ditch Mobage and update this game. I love your games but this release is garbage.

It's probably the bug where you visit someone else's tower and it completes missions when you return (without getting the reward). I had that happen to me. Annoying.

ughhh this happened to me! i did 3 already, and was looking forward to completing the rest to add longevity to the game. i think it came from visiting someone else's tower. there's always a new bug from that lol.
