Tiny Tower: My Newest Addiction


One of my latest crazes in Ipod apps has been the game Tiny Tower, which is a game that I discovered through Ingrid and Luke Conrad’s blogs (yup, I’m way too obsessed with their videos!).  Once I found out that they played the game, I just had to check it out, and now I’m hooked. 

The basic idea of the game is simple.  You build a tower, and add floors to it and it is your job to keep the businesses within the tower fully functional by stocking them with goods and hiring employees.  The game is a passive game, meaning that it’s similar to games like Farmville, where each task takes a certain amount of time in ‘real life’ to complete.  For instance, if I want to stock my tower’s Diner with hot coffee, it will take 5 minutes to complete that task.  Once the coffee has been stocked, I get a notification telling me it is stocked, and I have to go back to the diner and make the item available to be sold to my customers.

Still not convinced that Tiny Tower is a fun game?  If you like playing any simulation or strategy games like DinerDash or even played any of The Sims games previously, chances are you may like this game.  And, the game is free to download.  So why not give it a try?  You may just end up liking it!
