Gameplay

Mars Won

Mars Won Pt. 1

After reaching Level 20 and unlocking Town Hall and Quimby's exclamation mark: Template:Tapped Out Kent Brockman Icon Science. What is it? And why is it out to kill us? We have Professor Frink with the frightening details. Yes Kent, an asteroid appears to be on track to hit Springfield in approximately 42,000 years. However there is nothing to worry about. By my calculations, human life will have been extinct for 41,999 years by then. Template:Tapped Out Kent Brockman Icon So, would you say this is the doing of our Martian Insect Overlords? Well, it's extremely unlikely any intelligent alien life originated on Mars. Template:Tapped Out Kent Brockman Icon There you have it folks! Aliens have conquered Mars, and are now attacking Earth with asteroids. Not on my watch! Quick, someone build a rocket launch pad and hang a ‘Mission Accomplished' banner on it. Task: Build Rocket Launch Pad Template:Tapped Out Kent Brockman Icon The launch pad is built, but will our town be saved? But first, this just in... my mouth: a bite of Springfield's first pizza baked exclusively by cats! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Mars Won Pt. 2

After tapping on Comic Book Guy's exclamation mark: If a slew of similar sci-fi movies has taught us anything, it's that the best way to deal with asteroids is atomic bombs! Atomic bombs, eh? I'd be glad to sell you one from my stockpile... in exchange for not being arrested for having a stockpile of atomic bombs. Do you have a problem if the bomb is purchased with funds earmarked for orphans? I prefer it! Umm, Mr. Burns. I'm afraid I lost the key to the atomic bomb storage slash seasonal firework emporium, but I'm sure it's around here somewhere. Task: Make Homer Look for Keys (6s, Homes) You know, NARA is now accepting astronaut auditions if any of you gentlemen are interested. I used to be an astronaut, but I gave it up to pursue my dream job -- being a drunk. If you want to become an astronaut again, I could help. I am a trained member of the National Astronomics and Radiation Association or NARA. I could be your sports professor. Do you mean coach? Yes! That's what it's called. How about one last drink before training to celebrate? Sure! Moe, I'd like a keg to stay please. System Message Check out the store for Astronaut Barney and other space themed decorations. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Mars Won Pt. 3

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: What brave soul is going to detonate the bomb by riding on it like a cowboy? You do realize that you don't need to ride a bomb like a cowboy to make it go off, don't you? Well NOW I do. All we really need is an unmanned missile to hit the asteroid and destroy it. I'll build it! I have been looking for a new hobby. Really? Because you said you were all booked up when I asked you to join my “Can you build a robot that feels?” team. We got eighth place. The robot took it really hard. Task: Make Homer Build an Atomic Missile (6s, Rocket Launch Pad) Some sort of rod shaped object was blown into space. My spectral analysis of the object reveals that the rod was both carbon and inanimate! Not the Inanimate Carbon Rod! He's a hero! I was named after him. I learned about how he and Jesus walked on the moon in science class. I was able to connect to the Hoyvin Glaven satellite and saw the rod peacefully convince the asteroid to move out of the way of Springfield. If I was twenty years younger and it was legal to marry inanimate objects, I'd marry that rod. How's a Moe like this supposed to compete with a rod like that? Might as well give up and let myself go. Annnnd… done. In honor of the rod, I proudly announce that without any proper procedure or legislative oversight, Springfield will start a space program led by Professor Frink! I'll be following the NARA certification process to a ‘T', which is NARA's third most regulated letter. System Message Get official NARA approval for your space program by earning NARA certification stars. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Cheap Space Homer

Cheap Space Homer Pt. 1

After completing Mars Won Pt. 3: With our new space program, think of all the hot alien women we can grope inappropriately. Er, I mean all the fascinating scientific discoveries we can grope inappropriately. While the universe is very large, Mayor Quimby, we have yet to discover alien life. There's the Sky Finger. Our intelli-didily-gent designer. Mayor Quimby, out of respect to science, can we please stop holding meetings with random people in the room? Sorry but I welcome all constituents who want to observe our government's dignity and professionalism in action. Now let's cut some space checks! Task: Make Quimby Work Out Payments (3h, Rocket Launch Pad, Shuttle Hangar, Space Training Center or Town Hall) Task: Earn NARA Certification Stars [x2] At the very least, this space program might help kids see that learning is fun! I hope so. Then again, I said the same about my Henry David Tho-robot. Didn't that robot go crazy and try to stab someone? No! It was PROGRAMMED to go crazy and try to stab someone. Big difference. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Cheap Space Homer Pt. 2

After tapping on Quimby's exclamation mark: This space program needs an astronaut! Someone both capable of earning NARA certification stars and relatable to the common man. Look. I know you're hinting at me coming out of astronaut retirement but I gave all that up when I learned I could get astronaut ice cream on Earth. You were an astronaut? You don't remember? I trained, went into space, survived an emergency landing? I also held up the Inanimate Carbon Rod at the parade. You were the Inanimate Carbon Rod holder? Why didn't you say so? No one remembers? That does it -- I'm entering the NARA certification program. Great! All you need to do is sign your name. Too much work. I quit. Task: Make Homer Train as an Astronaut (3h, Space Training Center) Task: Earn NARA Certification Stars [x10] Quest reward: 100 and 10

Narobics

After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark: Sometimes I just don't get the point of having a space program. I mean sure, it brought us Tang. But then I tried it and regular orange juice is better. Hey, they started a new exercise program at the astronaut training facility! It's called Narobics. It's supposed to get you down to your weight on Mars! Ooh, thank you space program! System Message Marge, Luann, and Miss Hoover can Do Narobics to earn additional NARA stars. Task: Make Marge Do Narobics (3h, Rocket Launch Plad, Shuttle Hangar or Space Training Center) If the user has Miss Hoover: Task: Make Miss Hoover Do Narobics (3h, Rocket Launch Plad, Shuttle Hangar or Space Training Center) If the user has Luann: Task: Make Luann Do Narobics (3h, Rocket Launch Plad, Shuttle Hangar or Space Training Center) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Cheap Space Homer Pt. 3

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: How come we have to do all this work to get launched into space when rocks get catapulted right away. Psst. Homer. I think I might have an easier way to earn your NARA stars. If it's steroids, I'm not interested. My testicles are finally at a size I like. There's another way. Why earn stars when you can make stars? So… you're a wizard? Give me money and I'll give you fake NARA stars. I don't know how to break it down more than that. System Message Collect counterfeit stars at the Space Training Center every 3 hours. Task: Tap the Space Training Center Task: Earn NARA Certification Stars [x30] Homer, I'm worried that all this training to become an astronaut is too much for you. Plus you seem to be going through our aluminum foil budget a lot quicker than I planned for. Don't worry Marge, we're almost finished! All we need is to somehow get our hands on a space shuttle. There isn't even a space shuttle? Mayor Quimby bought a hangar without realizing the shuttle inside isn't included. First rule of space: always read the fine print. Second rule of space: don’t try to breathe. Quest reward: 100 and 10 If the hangar is not awarded, please contact EA directly!

Cheap Space Homer Pt. 4

After tapping on Quimby's exclamation mark: I could build us a state of the art space shuttle in no time. At least next to no time if you rushed it with few donuts. Great! How much is that gonna cost -- two yoga mats and a sprig of mistletoe? 50 billion dollars. But it's worth every penny... right down to its novelty smashed penny machine. How about instead I buy this vintage USSR shuttle from 1963? It doesn't have NARA certification, but it does have Kremlin's Seal of Not Having Killed Too Many Dogs. I just need to take out a totally legit business loan. Aw yes! I am here from a legitimate business to provide a legitimate business loan. Just don't get behind on payments or I'll legitimately break your legs. Capisce? Task: Make Associates Collect Payments [x3] (3h, Rocket Launch Plad or Shuttle Hangar) Task: Earn NARA Certification Stars [x45] System Message You've unlocked Deep Space Homer's "Gather Insect Specimens" animated job! Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Space Bar

After tapping on Milhouse's exclamation mark: Come on guys, let's check out the space ships! Hey, you kids can't go in there! You need a badge or license or for me not to see you. But we're setting up a club. It's called the Space Bar! It's a space-themed Internet cafe where we study the-- It's cool. You had me at space or bar. System Message Milhouse, Martin, and Database can Hang Out at the Hangar to earn additional NARA stars. Task: Make Martin Hang Out at the Hangar (3h, Shuttle Hangar) Task: Make Milhouse Hang Out at the Hangar (3h, Shuttle Hangar) If the user has Database: Task: Make Database Hang Out at the Hangar (3h, Shuttle Hangar) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Cheap Space Homer Pt. 5

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: Dad, I thought Mom talked you out of this! Do you know how dangerous it is to fly a spaceship? Of course I do, honey. Daddy was an astronaut, remember? No one in the town does, remember? But if you're going to do this, at least let me teach you the basic science skills you need to survive. I keep hearing that from coworkers at the nuclear plant. I don't need to come home and hear it from my family, too! I suppose I could practice collecting ant samples like I will on Mars. Although I hear ants on Mars are ten feet tall and wear top hats. Alright, lesson one: learning to tell the difference between science and fever dreams. Task: Make Homer Gather Insect Specimens (8h) Task: Earn NARA Certification Stars [x50] Woohoo! I always knew I had it in me. If by “it” you mean disturbingly soft bones and a heart composed of 40% soft cheeses, then yes. I can't help but feel I'll be to blame if things go horribly- Right? You were going to say if things go horribly right? Just remember, when you die -- I mean if -- no I definitely mean when -- you'll die a hero! System Message You've unlocked Deep Space Homer's "Walk Like a Hero" animated job! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Cheap Space Homer Pt. 6

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Weather clear, potato chips opened, bladder empty, neck pillow fluffed, talking aloud commenced. Oops, almost forgot – tray table up! Now to just hit the launch button… Where's the launch button? Hold up just a moment there! A shuttle lacks the necessary propulsion to take it into orbit without rockets! Plus it should be on the launch pad. Don't use your high brow science speak to confuse me Frink! I know what I'm doing... at least as far as space-toilets go. Don't worry about what he says Homer, we'll help you put it all together. How hard can it be? It's not like it's rocket science or anything. Task: Make Simpsons Put Rocket Ship Together [x4] (3h, Rocket Launch Pad) Characters: Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart, Grampa Task: Earn NARA Certification Stars [x100] Voila! I formulated the rocket fuel in the basement with a D.I.Y. video on Viewtube! Plus learned some interesting life hacks and read some very hateful comments. Lisa, I could not do this without your brilliant mind, nor your mother's equally brilliant rice crispy treats. Hey! I deserve some of the credit. I'm the one who snuck in the plutonium for an extra big bang. By Glaven's ghost! Plutonium? That could destroy us all! Although I suppose it all won't matter soon... What do you mean? Oh, it's still research in progress. But I'll share my findings with you at the Springfield Observatory's slam poetry event and intellectual salon. System Message Gather Lisa and other intellectual elite at the Springfield Observatory for more information on the hypothetical end of times and to hear some slam poetry. System Message Your Rocket Launch Pad has been upgraded! Quest reward: 100 and 10 If the rocket is not awarded, please contact EA directly!

Cheap Space Homer Pt. 7

After tapping on Quimby's exclamation mark: Good news, Homer! The Inanimate Carbon Rod re-entered the atmosphere and has been recovered! So you're off the hook. The rod can take over the mission and you can go back to being... what were you before? A bum? Mark my words. No rod – inanimate carbon, Serling or Stewart – will steal my thunder. I trained for this mission, and I will carry it out! Now is the rocket ship automatic or stick? Because I can't drive a stick. I'm starting to regret not paying more attention during the training process. Task: Make Homer Launch the Space Ship (6s, Rocket Launch Pad) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Cheap Space Homer Pt. 8

After completing Cheap Space Homer Pt. 7: Sorry, I didn't realize the parking brake was still on. And that Houston was not our destination. Homer, you might be the worst astronaut in world history. Even worse than the chimpanzees? Even worse than that Collins guy! The least you could do is put out the fires you caused! Some of us sober astronauts are serious about getting into space! Fine. I'll put out the literal fires but I refuse to try to fix any of the emotional ones. Task: Make Homer Put Out Rocket Fuel Fires (2h, Rocket Launch Pad) Homer, you really saved the day! Saved the day? He crushed our dreams, ruined our space program, and called me a nerd on several occasions! But Homer's incompetence gave the Inanimate Carbon Rod the opportunity to pry open the water valve and douse those fires. That rod deserves another ticker tape parade! And I deserve another bribe from the ticker tape lobby. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Space Trek

After tapping on Quimby's exclamation mark: Hey, this update isn't over. We have to try again. The controls are a little burned, but I think I can handle it. By my calculations, an unmanned flight will yield a higher success rate than having that man at the helm. So it's settled, tap the switch on the spaceship to launch when ready. Task: Make the Rocket Blast Off Why is there so much weird stuff floating around in outer space? It's from our civilization! Ooh! So these are priceless alien relics? No, useless alien trash. System Message When the Rocket is ready, tap it to launch again. There is a 1 in 4 chance for success. System Message Maybe you'll get something better than garbage! Quest reward: 100 and 10 If launch succeed: Reward: 200, 20 + Random Reward: 4 random debris or Kang Topiary or Hail Ants Sign or Mini Nuclear Warhead Due to what seems to be a glitch you can only have one set of this debris. If launch fails: Reward: 200, 20 System Message Your spaceship has crashed. Wait for the fires to die off, and try again in 12 hours. Due to a flaw in programming, if you store the rocket that failed to launch, its timer will reset and you'll be able to launch it immediatly. Repeat anytime you want. No need to wait for 12 hours anymore! 300px

Easter Eggs

Easter Egg 1

Task: Make Lisa Gather Space Food (6h, Simpson House) If Springfield is ever going into space, they'll need some hydratable omninutrional amalgamate to eat! How much candy is in that, sweetie? None! It's dried soy mixed with green beets and synthetic B vitamins. Maybe I'll pack my own space lunch.

Easter Egg 2

Task: Make Marge Gather Space Food (6h, Simpson House) I found that ultra-high proof space alcohol, just like you asked, Professor Frink. Space martinis! I knew there was a reason I put olives in my pockets. Frink, you've thought of everything. That alcohol is to replace the engine coolant, not to drink! What happened to the original engine coolant? You drank it.

Easter Egg 3

Task: Make Bart Gather Space Food (6h, Simpson House) You know, it's a lot easier to just buy regular food and write “Space” on the front of it. Eggs – too fragile for space. But write space on top and they're good to go.

All Easter Eggs Collected

After collecting all Easter Eggs: Mm, that space food was awful tasty. Is there any left? Homer! That dehydrated food was enough to supply a space mission for 62 months! Whatever you do, don't drink any water. It will rehydrate the food causing your insides to explode. Never drink water again – check. Now for some freeze-dried dessert. System Message You've received 5 donuts! Quest reward: 5

Premium Gameplay

Nightfall?

After completing Cheap Space Homer Pt. 6 and tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: Springfield Observatory is the perfect venue for our greatest intellectual minds to meet. And we have an urgent matter to discuss! Lisa is our astronomer, Skinner is our behaviour scientist, and Comic Book Guy our local cynic. Plus head of t-shirt designs. By the way, the t-shirts are canceled this year. They don’t carry size XXXXXXXXXXXXL. Without t-shirts how will people know we’re a part of this secret organization? Task: Make Intellectuals Meet at Springfield Observatory [x3] (5h, Springfield Observatory) Characters: Lisa, Comic Book Guy, Skinner If the user has Professor Frink: Task: Make Frink Host Observatory Event (5h, Springfield Observatory) As you know, in this universe, we have daylight twenty-four seven. I recently have become concerned if the sun is ever blocked out. Absolute chaos. None of the bikes are equipped with reflective lights. Think larger! A frenzied riot of Asimovian proportions! Orgies everywhere! But it'll be too dark to watch them! Glaven Jehosefat! Now for the most important question: Is there an eclipse on the horizon? I've got a better question: what sort of genius built an observatory in a town where the sun is always shining? Shhh. You never know if the Sky Finger is listening. System Message New permanent jobs at the Springfield Observatory available for Skinner and Frink. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Space Shuttle Simulator placed

After buying the Space Shuttle Simulator: Excellent! Now we can earn some additional NARA stars through simulating the test of Hovinyashi NARU.

Astro-Not

Astro-Not Pt. 1

After tapping on Barney's exclamation mark: Thanks to my astronaut training, I'm sober again! I've got control over my life for once – what do you want to do? We were going to go to the bar, but we could spice it up a bit. Maybe a beer garden or a brewery tour... Think bigger! The world is your oyster! Oysters, eh? That gives me an idea – let's go to the bar! Grrrr! I'll stop in, but I'll be having a soft drink! A soda? Hold on, I think I've got one in the back. I was using it as an ashtray. Task: Make Astronaut Barney Stop in for a Soda (12h, Moe's Tavern) Task: Make Moe Serve Drinks (10h, Moe's Tavern) Task: Make Barflies Drink at Moe's [x3] (8h, Moe's Tavern) Characters: Homer, Skinner, Lenny, Carl, Lou, Eddie, Mindy, Sanjay, Declan Desmond Quest reward: 100 and 10

Astro-Not Pt. 2

After tapping on Barney's exclamation mark: Sobriety has given me a new lease on life! I've got a new lease too! Although I think mine's on my car. I became an astronaut – doesn't that inspire any of you to follow your dreams? In my dreams I'm being chased by a giant singing grasshopper with my father's face – why would I want to follow that? Don't you want more from life than just sitting in this bar? What if aliens were looking down on us right now? Aren't you embarrassed by being drunk? Aliens love drunk people! They're the only ones they ever abduct. Task: Make Astronaut Barney Lecture the Barflies about Sober Life (1h, Moe's Tavern) Task: Make Barflies Drink at Moe's [x3] (8h, Moe's Tavern) Characters: Homer, Skinner, Lenny, Carl, Lou, Eddie, Mindy, Sanjay, Declan Desmond Quest reward: 100 and 10

Astro-Not Pt. 3

After tapping on Barney's exclamation mark: By not spending all my money on beer, I can afford to go back to school. After all, I'm only two credits shy of my PhD. Then I could get a job asking people if they know of any jobs for PhDs. Why give your money to those fancy college types? What about your good friend Moe? What is he going to do without his best customer? You guys aren't being very supportive. After I was so supportive of your watercolors, Moe. And your decorative gourd collection, Carl. Since I can't drink my feelings anymore, I guess I'll have to eat them. Task: Make Astronaut Barney Eat Astronaut Ice Cream (8h, Moe's Tavern) On job start: Maybe we should be more supportive of Barney. Tell him he's doing grood. Is it grood? Goop? I don't know; I've never heard it said to me. All my memories with Barney are... not there, because we were drunk. I don't think I can start making sober ones. Let's give it a try. We owe it to Barney after leaving him for dead on so many occasions. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Astro-Not Pt. 4

After tapping on Barney's exclamation mark: Tra-la-la! Lalalala! Lalala! Barney, are you drunk? What happened? Just been eatin' *hic* ice cream all day! What is this... rum raisin?!? Oh no! It's okay. I don't think there's any alcohol in raisins. Drinks on *hic* me!!! Task: Make Astronaut Barney Blast Off (4h) Quest reward: 100 and 10
