2011-07-06
this episode what's the apt is brought to you by Netflix well hello there what's going on gee what's up props man John Q here from technobuffalo and welcome to what's the app say a preview show here in TechnoBuffalo and rev 3 where I check out some mobile applications and usually I don't really play a lot of games on my mobile electronic play thingies but you know sometimes I like to get my game on so recently I got my iPad and I opened up the app store and I saw this banner for ipad game of the week so I decided to check it out you know for what's the app segments and so on but I got it and I haven't stopped playing it until now but I'm still playing so yeah I haven't stopped playing it so for this episode of what's the app's we're going to be taking a look at the ipad game of the week tiny towers to be honest guys i forgot this game was called tiny towers i only remembered when i started doing this review this one that you're watching right now because i refer to it as that hotel game so my girlfriend could ask Oh what you're doing right now and I i I'd be saying I've planned that hotel game that's about it I don't know why it has nothing to do with hotels maybe it's just the look of the game reminds me of habbo hotels have habbo habbo hotels this and anybody else remember hypo hotels it still exists today seriously I mean I love playing habbo habbo habbo whatever I love playing hi Bo hotels when I was a kid I don't know what's that what that things about I still have no idea let's have a hotel about anyways anyways back to the review of tiny towers tiny towers is an RPG style game with fun pixelated graphics and hip jazzy upbeat music the goal of the game is to make as much money's as you can by opening stores and facilities and building rooms for rent and with this money you can build more stores and more rooms to make your tower bigger and bigger mine is a little bit pathetic right now but I just started man no word so you're in charge of this tower with the metropolis in it so it's got stores apartments and these little Tamagotchi looking guys called bitte sins anyone else remember Tamagotchis fun times wasted time a fun times I think here's a list of all my bitte seen so far each one of course has their own personality disorder they have a single purpose in their bit filled lives to work the numbers on the right signified their strengths in each working sector such as entertainment food service and so on and that faded out text indicates their dream job you as well bit god is to give them their dream job which makes them happy like denise rice over here having happy bitte sins means happier work environments AKA discounted stocking fees oh yeah you gotta constantly stock inventory for your shots darn bitte sins i don't even know why i hired these guys can stock inventory on top of all the inventory that you got to do you can also work the elevator to earn some extra tips this is pretty tedious on mine on upgraded elevator well if it sucks you get a tip every single time and it's a good way to earn some extra tower bucks yeah stupid Benson didn't tip a bucks I I hope you don't find the suit you like in men's fashion like I said this game is about making money you can try to tower bucks for more monies which I don't recommend because bucks are just so damn hard to get unfortunately you can't do it the other way around or you can also buy bucks using real money personally I'm not a big fan on paying for pixels but hey everybody is different some extra tower bucks would come in handy as you need it to speed up the game whether it's restocking inventory reducing build time or upgrading your elevator waste of money right there they can just use the stairs there are also random side tasks like helping random bitte sins find another random business in for tip usually it's a bucks usually wears that stupid guy ah that's right I found Kyle thank you very much for your Tower bucks benasin once you get the hang that the game it's very straightforward just a little bit repetitive but oh man is it addicting okay Angry Birds and cut the rope ain't got nothing on tiny towers even if you close the game it keeps on going and while you're minding your own business playing with your iPad you get a random notification saying that frozen yogurt on the third floor has to be restocked so you go back into your game and repeat the whole process of restocking checking and elevator ring it's so awesome really of course you can always turn off the notifications but why would you want to okay you want to stay on top of your business Ernest Aaron as much bling as you can Ching you want to earn as much Ching as you can to buy the blink okay you want to earn as much Ching as you can so that you can buy the blings slang right there so you're unhappy with their job huh well I'm a fire you right now yeah take that stupid purple jumpsuit wearing how does it feel to be unemployed huh how purple well look at that he likes it apparently well he's smiling I should have Victor right now to add another level of cleverness to the game they've created something called bit book which is of course their version of Facebook it just has the status updates of your medicines and it's kind of pointless as you can't really do anything with it but I guess it's helpful if you want no no man it's just pointless what am I saying what is interesting you know what else is interesting giving a shout out to our friends at netflix netflix streams TV episodes and movies directly to your home saving you time and money a very important principle in life and in tiny towers you can instantly watch unlimited TV episodes and movies streaming directly to your PC Mac or right on to your TV with your xbox 360 ps3 or your

repetitive but so are a lot of other iOS games I guess is just a little bit more obvious than this one but men tiny towers is addictive beyond comprehension for those reasons I give it a solid 4 out of 5 so for those of you who like the RPG style game seriously check out tiny towers but I warn you it is seriously addicting ok warning you right now so I hope you guys enjoyed this review this was john q from technobuffalo and i'll see you guys next time you gotta restock the ice cream again cool awesome
