    It's something they were talking about adding in the next update. They were talking about it on the Something Awful forums. It looks like they've locked anonymous users from viewing the thread. I would link to it anyway but the thread title is very NSFW.

    If you're playing logged into game center just install and log in on the new device.

    I was wondering of other people seem to have the same issue as me.

    So imagine i ferry a bitizen to the 100th floor and quit the game to do other stuff. When i come back, say one hour later, my elevator will still be on the way down on slow the heck out of the game until it gets to the ground floor. Why not have the elevator go down after i close the game?

    Interesting that I've never heard complaints of this before. The elevator runs in real-time only when the app is open. I agree that it doesn't really make sense, and will add the issue to my Tiny Tower ToDo list.

    I notice it all the time, but it's never bothered me. Usually when I open the app it's reached the bottom by the time I've done all me stocking bits so it's never caused a problem.

    So I might have overstated how slow the game becomes, but it does seem to be slightly slower. Although this also seems to be causes by the game signing in to GameCenter. After i see the status bar that GC has signed in, the game seems to be just normal again.

    Is there any timeline or estimation of an update? The floors were named on the wiki and all so it has to be rather close no?

    It's just I have just about 31 million coins burning a hole in my pocket! I can't wait to spend them!

    The wiki has photos of some, but Cloverfield posted the businesses a few pages back:


    Court
    Animation Studio
    Haunted House
    Candle Shop
    Donut Shop

    I assume there will be 3 residences to go along with that.

    There has been some chatter on here about stars being added to the elevator shaft but not sure if that is for stock, or for dream jobs or what that is for.

    And then of course the new missions - but I assume that will take a little longer.

    So my question is if the new floors are going to get released soon or if all of that is getting released together sometime soon. And, well, of course I have to ask if any more costumes are included. (gnome - hint hint!!!!)

    It's for dream jobs, one star per dream jobber.

    It'll be nice if there's option to turn the stars off. All my stores have three dream jobbers so I have no real need for them, and I like the elevator shaft clean how it is now.

    Just finished the implementation of the missions and the gifting so there is still a good amount of testing to be done to make sure we don't rush something out that is full of bugs.

    Aw rats. So the new floor update will be all together with that one too? I was hoping for two separate ones.

    It's be nice if there were more costumes. I like to have each floor with a unique costume, so more costumes than number of businesses, please.

    Oh sorry, there's no serious issue, I was just being overly nerdy! :D Since the game has 8-bit inspired graphics, I was joking that a value of 256 or more would cause an integer overflow.

    Then my edit was based on the fact that I made that joke on page 255 of the thread :( One short! It's okay, no one else finds me funny either, haha.

    So yes not sure what happened to your tower, but it's not related to what I said.

    bugged, can't select anything on main screen

    I was just about to build my last floor when the game got bugged. Now when I'm on the main view of my tower, whenever I click anywhere except the menu button or the magnify button, I get the red X in the lower right corner of the screen. I can never select the floors, can't scroll the screen, can't click the packages/boxes at the bottom that indicate floors are ready to be stocked.

    Where is the game data saved? Can I delete the app, then re-install it, and have it at the same point it was at?
