Gameplay

Mars Won

Mars Won Pt. 1

After reaching Level 20 and unlocking Town Hall and Quimby's exclamation mark:
Brockman Science. What is it? And why is it out to kill us? We have Professor Frink with the frightening details.
Professor Frink Yes Kent, an asteroid appears to be on track to hit Springfield in approximately 42,000 years.
Professor Frink However there is nothing to worry about. By my calculations, human life will have been extinct for 41,999 years by then.
Brockman So, would you say this is the doing of our Martian Insect Overlords?
Professor Frink Well, it's extremely unlikely any intelligent alien life originated on Mars.
Brockman There you have it folks! Aliens have conquered Mars, and are now attacking Earth with asteroids.
Quimby Not on my watch! Quick, someone build a rocket launch pad and hang a 'Mission Accomplished' banner on it.
Task: Build Rocket Launch Pad
Brockman 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: Cash100 and XP10

Mars Won Pt. 2

After tapping on Comic Book Guy's exclamation mark:
Comic Book Guy 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!
Mr. Burns 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.
Quimby Do you have a problem if the bomb is purchased with funds earmarked for orphans?
Mr. Burns I prefer it!
Homer 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)
Professor Frink You know, NARA is now accepting astronaut auditions if any of you gentlemen are interested.
Barney I used to be an astronaut, but I gave it up to pursue my dream job -- being a drunk.
Professor Frink 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.
Barney Do you mean coach?
Professor Frink Yes! That's what it's called. How about one last drink before training to celebrate?
Barney 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: Cash100 and XP10

Mars Won Pt. 3

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:
Homer What brave soul is going to detonate the bomb by riding on it like a cowboy?
Professor Frink You do realize that you don't need to ride a bomb like a cowboy to make it go off, don't you?
Homer Well NOW I do.
Professor Frink All we really need is an unmanned missile to hit the asteroid and destroy it.
Homer I'll build it! I have been looking for a new hobby.
Professor Frink Really? Because you said you were all booked up when I asked you to join my "Can you build a robot that feels?" team.
Professor Frink We got eighth place. The robot took it really hard.
Task: Make Homer Build an Atomic Missile (6s, Rocket Launch Pad)
Bart Some sort of rod shaped object was blown into space.
Professor Frink My spectral analysis of the object reveals that the rod was both carbon and inanimate!
Comic Book Guy Not the Inanimate Carbon Rod! He's a hero!
Rod I was named after him.
Todd I learned about how he and Jesus walked on the moon in science class.
Professor Frink 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.
Agnes If I was twenty years younger and it was legal to marry inanimate objects, I'd marry that rod.
Moe How's a Moe like this supposed to compete with a rod like that? Might as well give up and let myself go.
Moe Annnnd... done.
Quimby 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!
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.

Cheap Space Homer

Cheap Space Homer Pt. 1

After completing Mars Won Pt. 3:
Quimby With our new space program, think of all the hot alien women we can grope inappropriately.
Quimby Er, I mean all the fascinating scientific discoveries we can grope inappropriately.
Lisa While the universe is very large, Mayor Quimby, we have yet to discover alien life.
Ned There's the Sky Finger. Our intelli-didily-gent designer.
Professor Frink Mayor Quimby, out of respect to science, can we please stop holding meetings with random people in the room?
Quimby 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]
Lisa At the very least, this space program might help kids see that learning is fun!
Professor Frink I hope so. Then again, I said the same about my Henry David Tho-robot.
Lisa Didn't that robot go crazy and try to stab someone?
Professor Frink No! It was PROGRAMMED to go crazy and try to stab someone. Big difference.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Cheap Space Homer Pt. 2

After tapping on Quimby's exclamation mark:
Quimby This space program needs an astronaut! Someone both capable of earning NARA certification stars and relatable to the common man.
Homer 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.
Lisa You were an astronaut?
Homer You don't remember? I trained, went into space, survived an emergency landing? I also held up the Inanimate Carbon Rod at the parade.
Quimby You were the Inanimate Carbon Rod holder? Why didn't you say so?
Homer No one remembers? That does it -- I'm entering the NARA certification program.
Professor Frink Great! All you need to do is sign your name.
Homer Too much work. I quit.

Narobics

After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark:

Luann Hey, they started a new exercise program at the astronaut training facility! It's called Narobics.
Miss Hoover It's supposed to get you down to your weight on Mars!

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:
Deep Space Homer How come we have to do all this work to get launched into space when rocks get catapulted right away.
Herman Psst. Homer. I think I might have an easier way to earn your NARA stars.
Deep Space Homer If it's steroids, I'm not interested. My testicles are finally at a size I like.
Herman There's another way. Why earn stars when you can make stars?
Deep Space Homer So... you're a wizard?
Herman 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]
Marge Homer, I'm worried that all this training to become an astronaut is too much for you.
Marge Plus you seem to be going through our aluminum foil budget a lot quicker than I planned for.
Deep Space Homer Don't worry Marge, we're almost finished! All we need is to somehow get our hands on a space shuttle.
Marge There isn't even a space shuttle?
Deep Space Homer 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: Cash100 and XP10

Cheap Space Homer Pt. 4

After tapping on Quimby's exclamation mark:
Professor Frink 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.
Quimby Great! How much is that gonna cost -- two yoga mats and a sprig of mistletoe?
Professor Frink 50 billion dollars. But it's worth every penny... right down to its novelty smashed penny machine.
Quimby How about instead I buy this vintage USSR shuttle from 1963?
Quimby It doesn't have NARA certification, but it does have Kremlin's Seal of Not Having Killed Too Many Dogs.
Quimby I just need to take out a totally legit business loan.
Fat Tony Aw yes! I am here from a legitimate business to provide a legitimate business loan.
Fat Tony Just don't get behind on payments or I'll legitimately break your legs. Capisce?

Cheap Space Homer Pt. 5

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark:
Lisa Dad, I thought Mom talked you out of this! Do you know how dangerous it is to fly a spaceship?
Deep Space Homer Of course I do, honey. Daddy was an astronaut, remember?
Lisa No one in the town does, remember?
Lisa But if you're going to do this, at least let me teach you the basic science skills you need to survive.
Deep Space Homer I keep hearing that from coworkers at the nuclear plant. I don't need to come home and hear it from my family, too!
Deep Space Homer 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.

Deep Space Homer Oops, almost forgot – tray table up!
Deep Space Homer Now to just hit the launch button... Where's the launch button?
Professor Frink Hold up just a moment there! A shuttle lacks the necessary propulsion to take it into orbit without rockets!
Professor Frink Plus it should be on the launch pad.
Deep Space Homer 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.
Marge Don't worry about what he says Homer, we'll help you put it all together. How hard can it be?

Lisa Voila! I formulated the rocket fuel in the basement with a D.I.Y. video on Viewtube!
Lisa Plus learned some interesting life hacks and read some very hateful comments.
Professor Frink Lisa, I could not do this without your brilliant mind, nor your mother's equally brilliant rice crispy treats.
Deep Space Homer Hey! I deserve some of the credit. I'm the one who snuck in the plutonium for an extra big bang.
Professor Frink By Glaven's ghost! Plutonium? That could destroy us all! Although I suppose it all won't matter soon...
Lisa What do you mean?
Professor Frink 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.

Cheap Space Homer Pt. 7

After tapping on Quimby's exclamation mark:
Quimby Good news, Homer! The Inanimate Carbon Rod re-entered the atmosphere and has been recovered!
Quimby 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?
Deep Space Homer 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!
Deep Space Homer Now is the rocket ship automatic or stick? Because I can't drive a stick.
Professor Frink 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: Cash100 and XP10

Cheap Space Homer Pt. 8

After completing Cheap Space Homer Pt. 7:
Deep Space Homer Sorry, I didn't realize the parking brake was still on. And that Houston was not our destination.
Professor Frink Homer, you might be the worst astronaut in world history.
Deep Space Homer Even worse than the chimpanzees?
Professor Frink Even worse than that Collins guy!
Astronaut Barney The least you could do is put out the fires you caused! Some of us sober astronauts are serious about getting into space!
Deep Space Homer 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)
Quimby Homer, you really saved the day!
Professor Frink Saved the day? He crushed our dreams, ruined our space program, and called me a nerd on several occasions!
Quimby But Homer's incompetence gave the Inanimate Carbon Rod the opportunity to pry open the water valve and douse those fires.
Professor Frink That rod deserves another ticker tape parade! And I deserve another bribe from the ticker tape lobby.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Space Trek

After tapping on Quimby's exclamation mark:
Quimby Hey, this update isn't over. We have to try again.
Deep Space Homer The controls are a little burned, but I think I can handle it.
Professor Frink By my calculations, an unmanned flight will yield a higher success rate than having that man at the helm.
Quimby So it's settled, tap the switch on the spaceship to launch when ready.
Task: Make the Rocket Blast Off
Deep Space Homer Why is there so much weird stuff floating around in outer space?
Kang It's from our civilization!

Easter Egg 1

Task: Make Lisa Gather Space Food (6h, Simpson House)
Lisa If Springfield is ever going into space, they'll need some hydratable omninutrional amalgamate to eat!

Lisa None! It's dried soy mixed with green beets and synthetic B vitamins.
Homer Maybe I'll pack my own space lunch.

Easter Egg 2

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

Easter Egg 3

Task: Make Bart Gather Space Food (6h, Simpson House)
Bart You know, it's a lot easier to just buy regular food and write "Space" on the front of it.
Bart 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:
Homer Mm, that space food was awful tasty. Is there any left?
Professor Frink Homer! That dehydrated food was enough to supply a space mission for 62 months!
