iOS – The Simpsons: Tapped Out – New
Simpsons fans, get ready! EA Mobile today announced the launch of The Simpsons: Tapped Out for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. For the first time, fans of TV’s longest-running comedy will be able to recreate Springfield and customize the city any way they want—anywhere they want—with a free app*. To quote Homer from the game: “It’s life-ruiningly fun.”
Written and brought to life by The Simpsons’ award-winning TV writers and animators, the game starts when Homer accidentally causes a meltdown that wipes out Springfield – “D’oh!” It’s up to players to rebuild it and help him find his family and friends.
Players complete a variety of quests to earn virtual money, experience points and even donuts which they can use to customize and expand their Springfields with new buildings, decorations and characters from the show. Players will also enjoy exclusive, never-before-seen animated scenes that are sure to please fans of the show.
This app is free to download although there’s plenty of opportunity to splash your cash with in-app purchases! You can download it here
In the process of creating their own living, breathing Springfield, players interact with their favorite characters in hilarious new ways, including:
· Help Homer find Marge, Bart and the rest of his family and friends! (Ned Flanders, too.)
· Grow and harvest Tomacco on Cletus’s Farm.
· Party down with Duffman at Duff Brewery.
· See how your Indolence, Consumerism, and Gluttony stack up on the Conform-o-meter.
· Visit friends’ Springfields, play pranks and collect “cash.”
