Interesting.

I also just found this, you can “unlock” locked tiles.

I just completed the current event and the Box of Shattered Dreams is now available to spend my coins.

Me too. Kind of odd that they did it that way but I got a decent haul from it.

I got the new update. The title picture changed to the new one with the dogs. For some reason no new event was triggered. I have no one on any jobs and nothing pending. Anyone else have this issue?

10 years of TSTO? Wow, that’s a lot of time wasting.

If you haven’t tapped the donut statue yet, do it. It pays out donuts.

I’m almost, uh, tapped out.

Seriously though, the only reason I still play at all is that I can easily generate enough donuts to blow through the events in one go. It’s the same event over and over and over. Sometimes the storyline is a little entertaining.

Still, not many games like this last for 10 years. So kudos to the team for making enough money to keep the servers up and running.

Thanks for that. Somehow I was too dumb to think about tapping on it. 🤦‍♂️

Haven’t been on in a few days, but just tried and it worked fine.

It randomly logged me out. I try to login in using my email address. It asks for a verification number sent to my email. I enter it. It tells me an error occurred during login. Over and over.

They’re holding the game together with baling twine and spit.

I deleted the game and reloaded it. That seems to have fixed the issue.

I’m thinking we’ll get a mini event and then a BIG HALLOWEEN/THOH thing. Or at least I hope. I used to count the days till the Halloween update and I’m sure it’s the same boring mechanics, but maybe the prizes and premium stuff will be good. I have thousands of donuts and nothing good to spend them on. The greatest irony is that when I was finally donut rich was when the content wasn’t there to use them

and not only am i donut rich my bonus is outrageous so I could farm more if needed but alas, nothing good to buy

I have Android and got the update automatically as well.

Also, I wish that I could tap and complete all the jobs at once just like the Sky Finger Monument taps all the buildings. I’ve got a LOT of Springfieldians.
