    Tiny Tower: 5th Anniversary Edition (by NimbleBit)

    I just had an idea for simply adding someone's code who just sent you a gifted Bitizen, without changing anything to the UI.

    When you open your Friends list, and tap "Add a friend", the input box should display the code of the last person who gifted you something as a suggestion. Only if you didn't already had him as a friend.
    It should maybe be greyed and anything you type would erase the code.

    It would just require TT to remember the last friend code who gifted you a Bzen.

    Is this considered a non consumable IAP? Bought it on my iPad but don't want any $39.99 surprises down the road if I go to unlock it on another device.

    VIP is non consumable.

    I reset my tower today but all my floors are back to level 1. When it said you keep your upgrades I assumed that floors would keep their upgrade number. Maybe for VIPs? I won't be resetting again unless this happens.

    Upgrades only refers to what is under the "Upgrades" category in-game: elevator, roof, and lobby unlocks.

    I do think that if you reset, floor upgrades should be kept. If they don't add this then I just won't reset anymore.

    Yep, if your goal is to rebuild at 50 floors, you shouldn't upgrade floors past level 3 (or 4 depending on hour playtime).

    I just rebuilt again, had all my shops level 3 this time, so it's basically small change, no loss.
    First time I had level 5 shops, it was a bit stingy :/

    Anyhow, if you play long enough, you'll be swimming in Bux in a year with the daily bonus going up. Even more so seeing you're ViP. You should get 3000+ Bux a day by then.

    There might be a nasty bug with 3.1.4
    I just had three gifts vanishing on my iPhone with the new build. Nothing happened when I tapped the blue Box.
    I know it was Bitizens I gifted to my iPhone from my iPad that's still in 3.1.3

    No argument from me that the incentive to rebuild is effectively zilch. The stuff you keep is purely cosmetic and the bonuses from the golden tickets insignificant. I'm not entirely sure who this prestige system is aimed at - guess those impatient sorts who were always resetting their towers anyhow when they got slow to progress and those who already built a perfect tower with all floors and dream jobbers; now they can aim for the ultimate perfect tower with all golden floors.

    I've not reset and not sure I ever will. Stopped on my original tower at 130 floors way back when the stocking/restocking got to be too much. With the (re)stock all button I'm back playing again and enjoying myself. Think even if I ever do finish this tower, I'd rather start fresh by tying a new tower to a second email address than destroy a tower that's "existed" for several years. Maybe if they'd change the way the Past Towers work I would feel differently.

    I think that there should be better bonuses for resetting as well. Like how clickers double income with each reset etc. also Bitcoin billionaire lets you keep all level upgrades bought with end even if you reset, so hopefully Nimblebit adds this. If anything for VIP players to keep floor upgrades would be nice.

    @Nimblebit
    Is this something you would consider adding? Kept floor upgrades and better reset rewards?

    Just so people know, there is a bug where you will get a "fake" gift notification when someone visits you and it will disappear without action when you tap it. Just know that no gifted bitizens are actually being lost and once you get through the waiting visitors the "real" gifts will come through. Submitting an update to fix now!

    From 10Z5 to 10Z9.

    I did finally receive the Bitizens, after a lot of ghost gifts. :)

    Nice to be able to visit friends towers.
    Though a lot of you guys need to upgrade your rusty elevators lol

    In TTVegas it did get old quickly but it's a nice touch.


    Edit:
    I might be mistaken, someone else should check :
    If you go quickly from friend X's tower to friend Y's tower just after delivering your Bitizen via the elevator.
    And before the pop up saying you visited X's tower, the pop up box says you visited Y's tower and not X.

    Not totally sure, but I think I got a double red "waiting" marker when I had a bitizen waiting in the elevator and somebody visited (erased bitizen but red icon remained, and got a second marker).
    After I delivered the visiting friend, clicked on the marker and it dissapeared.

    Ok, I like visiting feature but I wish there was a way to keep track of it. I missed some codes that weren't in my friends list. I'm also not sure if I typed some in correctly as the last played time stamp is from days ago.

    Also, if anyone needs costumes, let me know (some how)
    I'll dress up before visiting

    And please, put your name to the lobby, so you know who you're visiting.
    And as Vic said, upgrade your elevator. :p

    I don't know if it's possible but having a notice board in the lobby would be handy. The notice board can perhaps contain a brief profile and any user information.
