it looked fun from the slides it showed, so I bought it, but there's nothing to do! no tutorial, and it gets boring super fast.
No point to it

This game has no point, and pretty much no purpose it's not worth the money and the app has no tutorial. It became boring within the first 5 minutes of playing
Nothing happens unless you intentionally break something

It seems like a building management game but it really isn't. Nothing happens unless you make it happen. For example nothing breaks on their own. You have to intentionally break the toilets or blow the electricity in order to have something to do. Unless you break something there is nothing to manage. You know how you can enjoy watching little people go about their lives in games like the Sims and Tropical? The people in this game doesn't do anything. Life does not go on on its own in this pointless game. I'm getting a refund.
I HATE it! What's the point!!!

Explains nothing

All the game's mechanics seem to boil down to this: I literally told a woman to go to the bathroom, then couldn't tell the next to go to the bathroom until I told the first to leave. And all I did was watch them go to the bathroom... What was I supposed to learn from that?
Learning Structures

This app let's kids build skyscrapers and then exposes the various systems in them (plumbing, electrical, transportation and so on). If you know Tinybop's Human Body app, this one is similar. It's not so much a game, but toy kids can play with to figure out what's under the 'skin' a skyscraper. One tip: you can turn on labels that name all the important parts of the building. My kids especially enjoy playing with the elevators and the plumbing. All the Tinybop apps have great handbooks for parents or teachers available for free on the web. They're fantastic and cover lots of the basic science in the app.
Lovely and funny app

My kids and I are long time Tinybop fans -- and this app is a great addition to their library. Like always, it's beautifully rendered and carefully designed. As some other reviewers have noted, though, this is not a game in the traditional sense -- like if you had a toy building it wouldn't consider that a game. There are no goals, no competitions, no deadlines. The play is just that, play. You explore the app --- look in rooms, zoom in to see how something works, see what happens when you set a given person in motion. For me, the analogy to the old picture books we could look at as kids is apt -- but, being interactive, it's a lot richer than that. Fun and engaging, but mellow, too, unlike a lot of games. And, yeah, the pooping and clogged up toilets are definite crowd pleasers!
