The Simpsons: Tapped Out is a free game for iOS, developed and published by Electronic Arts, first released on February 17, 2012. The game consists of the player helping Homer and other characters to rebuild Springfield. The game features the original cast. An Android version of Tapped Out will launch a few months after the first release.[1] On March 3, 2012, due to connectivity problems, Tapped Out was removed from the App Store.[2]

Description

Gameplay

An example of a town.

How to play

To play the game, players need to tap on things in the game. For example, the player wants a list of Bart's jobs, so the player taps on Bart. Also, when placing things in the game, you need to drag it to a space then tap it to place it. When a character does a task, or builds something, a donut can be used to speed up the task. There is an 'Other Springfield' in which the player can help every day and get money and XP in reward. There is a tutorial in the first few levels.

Tasks

When you tap a character with a speech bubble saying "!", it means they want to say something. What they say may have something to do with a task, and if it does, a box will appear on screen. In the box, there will be a title, eg. Square One, and underneath a task, eg. Build the Simpson House. Sometimes there will be two tasks underneath. Then you might need to buy what you need to complete the task, eg. You go into "Buildings". "Simpson House" will be highlighted and have the price underneath. You buy whatever you need to complete the task, and if your task is to build, you drag the building to the shaded box. Then, a box will come up with the reward, and perhaps another box saying you have unlocked a character, and perhaps ANOTHER box saying you have leveled up.

Adding friends

The player can add friends via Facebook Connect, Gmail, their device's contact list and EA's Origin. After the player has added some friends, they can visit their versions of Springfield to complete three tasks each day, which results in more rewards for themselves. The maximum amount of friends you can add in Tapped Out is 100.
