It is a bit annoying how long it takes to open, with all the checking, and the spinning donut, and so on.

You mean buying them? It's annoying that the cool stuff costs money but obviously they want you to spend cash! Easy to have a fun game without laying out too much!

As with all "free" games in the app store, it's ruine by the fact that if you want to make any real progress, you need to spend real money.

I downloaded it a few weeks back in the hope it would be good but got bored waiting 24hours for things to build etc. Lost interest quickly simply because it took forever to do anything.

My partner still plays it a fair bit on the ipad. about 2 weeks into a map and still not got very far with it.

Shame as it could have been really good but i guess, there are idiots out there who will buy donuts with real money to make a little progress and thats what the developers want.

£4.99 for a proper Springfield based Sim City style game and I would buy it in an instant.

It is not even like it takes any strategy, really. Just keep tapping seems to be the point.

I think there is a clue in the game title about that :P

It's true that nothing really goes wrong though (apart from the game crashing and having to do everything all over again). Which ultimately makes it a bit pointless.

Depends on how you want to play it!

Some peoples town that I visit are all crammed into a tiny space with as many buildings as possible to get as high as possible on levels. Mines all planned out, all about the asthetics.

Halloween addons are cool too!

Yeah, only 9 to start with. You can send Millhouse and Lisa on trick or treating to get more.

Yeah, one per task... Rubbish. Is there a sweet shop we can rob?

Hooked!

What are you meant to do with the Sweets? It tells me I can use them to build stuff and get new characters, but no idea how?

Spent £1.50 on doughnuts, spent them to get a raven with Barts face, it does nothing - I fell used...

Get the kids to go trick or treating. They get sweets that way. You also get sweets sometimes squishing zombies.
