The larger the city you build, the more points you score. You build your city by matching three or more game-pieces: combine three grasses to make a bush, three bushes to make a tree... until you've filled the board with houses, cathedrals and castles. Along the way, you'll have to outwit giant bears who will try to block your progress. How large can you grow your dream city before the board fills and the game ends? Triple Town is free to play forever. Eventually, you will run out of moves, but they replenish for free if you wait a while, and you can also buy more moves with free coins that you earn in-game. If you want to eliminate the move counter altogether, there is a one-time fee for *lifetime* unlimited moves. It works on any compatible iOS device you own -- just load the game's option menu on your other devices and select "restore unlimited turns" to activate your purchase on additional devices. (Update: we've added a 2-minute mode that you can play free, forever, as much as you want, by watching advertisements in between play sessions. Or you can pay for unlimited turns, which disables the ads in this mode!)

How limited are you without purchasing IAP? EfratBarTal Well-Known Member Mar 5, 2011 2,351 17 38 Female CEO Tel-Aviv #4 EfratBarTal, Jan 20, 2012 Yeah same questions here. I just played a couple of games and it's quite nice! Dense Well-Known Member Jul 27, 2009 167 2 18 #5 Dense, Jan 20, 2012 This game is absolutely fantastic. This deserves far more exposure and the IAP is so minimal that it isn't something to even think about. Considering it is free - download it and give it a try. EfratBarTal Well-Known Member Mar 5, 2011 2,351 17 38 Female CEO Tel-Aviv #6 EfratBarTal, Jan 20, 2012 I hate these annoying ninjas! They're so cute though .. Dense Well-Known Member Jul 27, 2009 167 2 18 #7 Dense, Jan 20, 2012 There is a massive coin exploit bug. Hopefully this gets an emergency patch. nesio718 Well-Known Member Jun 16, 2010 914 0 0 getting paid.... Sunny South FL!! #8 nesio718, Jan 20, 2012 Esssplain pleeees Never had so much fun planting grass and bushes. Very tactical. Dense Well-Known Member Jul 27, 2009 167 2 18 #9 Dense, Jan 20, 2012 Have reported the bug to the developer and it's probably better I don't explain the exploit. I get the idea an updated version will be released shortly. Gabrien Well-Known Member Nov 24, 2009 5,148 0 36 #10 Gabrien, Jan 20, 2012 How exactly is this any more "minimal" than any other game that charges you an "unlock" fee and allows you to purchase in-game coin? Dense Well-Known Member Jul 27, 2009 167 2 18 #11 Dense, Jan 20, 2012 There is no requirement at all to use the IAP at all. The coins allow you to buy the rarer puzzle pieces. You will get them normally in a game but you obviously can't control the timing. A good player wouldn't need them as a solid strategy is a far better way to get a higher score. gunxsword Well-Known Member Dec 24, 2010 2,556 0 0 Sydney #12 gunxsword, Jan 20, 2012 Lol, coward's way of getting highscores. Btw is there an indicator for highscores that have been obtained by purchasing such items with coins? Danc Member Jan 20, 2012 11 0 0 #13 Danc, Jan 20, 2012 Game Impressions Hi, I'm the game designer for Triple Town. Here's what I've observed so far about IAP and highscores. In general a more skilled player will always get a better scores than a less skilled player, even if someone buys every item in the store. Triple Town often seems like a simple game on the surface, but there is an immense amount of depth and strategy. I know a lot of folks that are still playing the game and getting better at it after a year...this is one of those evergreen games like Tetris or Drop7 that you can keep coming back to. To make things even more fair, there are only a limited number of items in the store. Even if you were a millionaire, the best that would get you is the ability to play more often but you wouldn't be able to buy your way to a high score. I see a lot of expert players who never purchase items. And I see players that do because they have a good game going and they want to extend it just a little further. Not because they need to, but because they enjoy the game. I think that's the best sort of IAP. All the best! Danc. J.R. Jalapeno Well-Known Member Oct 6, 2008 663 0 16 #14 J.R. Jalapeno, Jan 20, 2012 What happens when all my turns are gone? Do you earn them by playing or will I have to buy the 6.99 iap??? tt4 Well-Known Member Jun 25, 2011 70 0 0 #15 tt4, Jan 20, 2012 I'm wondering this aswell. Great game though! CzarCastic Well-Known Member Jan 21, 2010 2,164 0 0 Michigan http://www.8bitbrigade.com #16 CzarCastic, Jan 20, 2012 You have 3 choices: 1.) Wait for more turns. It's not clear to me how long you have to wait and how many turns you get because I did not choose this option. 2.) Buy more turns with coins. For 950 coins, you get 200 more tuns. Probably not enough to complete a single game. 3.) Buy the unlimited pass, which is currently $6.99. In my brief experience, I blew through the initial 2,000 turns in a couple of hours. I proceeded to buy more turns with coins, but it looks like I'm going to run out of coins some time soon. I have not purchased any other items in the store because I'm saving the coins for turns. However, the game is pretty awesome, so I'm thinking about buying the unlimited pass and then not having to worry about it anymore. donatello New Member Jan 20, 2012 1 0 0 #17 donatello, Jan 20, 2012 I have registered here just to say Thank You Danc. The game is really nice, hope my lil iap will support you to make another original game(s). LordGek Well-Known Member Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze Feb 19, 2009 12,282 141 63 Software QA Engineer Saratoga, CA, USA #18 LordGek, Jan 20, 2012 The game is darn addictive, and although $6.99 does seem a pretty hefty fee, I too will probably take the plunge. CzarCastic Well-Known Member Jan 21, 2010 2,164 0 0 Michigan http://www.8bitbrigade.com #19 CzarCastic, Jan 20, 2012 Yes...I'm quoting myself. I wanted to clarify that you begin with 1,500 coins, not 2,000 as previously indicated. However, I have found a method to ensure that you do not need to wait or purchase the IAP, if you don't want to. Spoiler If you delete and then reinstall the game, you will begin with 1,500 more coins. You have to do the short tutorial again, but you'll be able to continue playing. Since it's a high score game and the scores are saved on OpenFeint, there's no real penalty for deleting the game and starting over. J.R. Jalapeno Well-Known Member Oct 6, 2008 663 0 16 #20 J.R. Jalapeno, Jan 20, 2012 I love it and have it for my kindle. It's incredibly addictive. I'll take the plunge too! (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
