Universal Star Wars: Tiny Death Star (by LucasArts)

FWIW you can move ANY character to the Imperial levels to decrease the build time, not just the "?" folks. This also works for reducing the construction time of Imperial levels which are under construction.

EDIT: It would appear that if you deliver a character (any non-VIP type) to a floor that is in the process of stocking an item it will give you both the delivery credits AND reduce the stocking time by 1 minute. This is for both upper & sub-floors and it only works on the floors specifically requested by the characters; however ANY character can still be delivered to an Imperial sub-floor at any time time during stocking to receive the time discount.

 

Yeah, I think you're right. The find-a-rebel tasks work fine for me, but I think the find-a-spy ones are buggy -- I get asked to find a spy, but then nothing happens. Whereas if I have to find a suspected rebel or an ordinary resident, after clicking through the pop-up an image of the character appears at the bottom of the screen and I'm given time to click about looking for them.

 

Wow..bummed to read this just AFTER I spent $5 on an IAP with the intent that the $$ would be going to NimbleBit.

 

Hmmm, I just delivered a character requesting a lower level and I received credit and decrease time.

 

Was this a normal character or a "?" character?

EDIT: Nevermind I think I know what you meant. If a regular character comes along and requests a sub-floor you will get the money & time discount like with the upper floors. I will edit my earlier post.

 

Yup, it's a regular character. Of course, if I'm not creating anything in the lower floors, I only receive credits. The "?" is just to confuse us if the character wants to go up or down. I think this will come into play when we have a lot of floors and super fast elevators.

 

Now, I'm officially confused . Here are some screenshots of "Catch the Spy" with Leia Organa (Rebel):

​

After finding Leia, a short animation sequence occurs (bottom images). Finding a spy also has an animation sequence, but the character just runs away.

 

Does the game not work on iPod Touch devices at all? If I try to install it, the App Store tells me my device isn't compatible.

 

Confused about what? I've had sequences where she runs away and others where she is caught.

 

Thanks for the images. Sorry if I'm confusing the terminology, but I'm not playing the English-language version. Translating loosely, I think I've seen three different types of find-a-character missions: find a "spy", find a "suspect", and find a named resident. When I get a request to find a spy, nothing else happens after the initial request, whereas with the other two types it progresses to a screen like the second one you have here. As I've already mentioned, I've never seen a spy, but suspects are not Death Star residents and only appear for the duration of the task. Does this clear anything up?

 

I believer there is a difference - Capturing vs Finding. Capturing involves Storm Troopers going after Star Wars characters, while finding involves characters just running away to the right of the screen. I'll try getting screenshots of finding spies.

 

If possible, could you post screenshots? I think this will help out everyone.

 

Yeah, although finding gets you a reward and capturing gets you a reward. The exception is that sometimes capturing doesn't work IF you are dealing with the "men and women of the rebellion." So far, I've only seen Lando and Leia as characters that win the little cutscene. Everyone else I've seen has been a random rebel that just rushes off the screen and I get a reward.

Also, I don't know if this has been answered already, but the reason some people have question marks at the elevator is because they can potentially trigger cutscenes and you can chose to deliver them to levels other than their chosen levels or any imperial level to get that cutscene.

 

What exactly does it mean to "upgrade" a level? What changes when I send an upgrader VIP to a floor?

 

It increases the maximum amount of items stocked.

 

Thanks!

 

Thanks for the info. I'll keep an eye out. Also, I thought cutscenes occur when specific characters ask for specific rooms. I had a "?" Jar Jar requesting Floor 6 (Apts. under construction), and I tried delivering him to Watto's Wares (Floor 11) and nothing happened.

Update: Delivered Leia Organa, [?] or not, to the Interrogation floor, will unlock that cutscene. Does anyone else know which characters will unlock other scenes?

 

So any tips? I'm finding its really slow to earn money should I upgrade the elevator?

 

Yes, it's faster giving you more people to move and they give you more coins when you deliver them. It's a great long term investment.

 

Has anyone found the underground levels to be worth it? I Have three so far and all you get is a few missions before you need to build another level. Doesn't really make sense to me.
