Description
The classic simulation game(released worldwide by Maxis in 1995 under the name "SimTower") is back on iPad!
"Yoot Tower" is based on the PC game "Yoot Tower",
which has sold over a million copies worldwide, and has been redesigned for the iPad's touch-based interface.
Assuming the role of a building manager, the player edits the building, designating areas for offices, retail shops, and transportation.
The key to gameplay is managing the stress levels of people waiting for elevators.
If residents have difficulty moving around the building, they will leave, lowering the amount of rent income the player can work with.
You must manage the accessibility, security, and amenities of your building as you try to expand it.
If you can create a pleasant atmosphere, the population of your skyscraper will continue to rise, and once the population reaches 15,000, you may well witness a miracle in the cathedral that sits on the top floor of your great tower.
Changes for the iPad version include the limiting of city settings like the Security Room, Recycling Facility, and Parking Space to one per building.
Tapping such items allows their size to be adjusted left and right, expanding the puzzle-like aspect of the game.

Getting there!
If there was one game I cherished growing up, it was Sim Tower. Ever since I got my iPad, I would constantly check if there was an app similar, and nothing ever came close until this re-release!
I am generally happy with the similarities, but what happened to the individual sound effects for the condos, retail, movie theatres, party halls, etc... I can remember the best part was all these sounds and the hustle and bustle of my tower growing. Right now it's just the elevator, cash, and the garbage truck.
I would also say the UI and some language is a bit funky, but it's easy for me to look past. There are quite a few crash errors, but I'm sure those can easily be fixed! The $7.99 was completely worth it for anyone who had such a love for this game. It's almost as capturing as the original, and has a lot of potential to get there.
Thank you for this amazing nostalgia!!!
Wait a minute.....
Hey! Your sim tower!
The one and only sim tower
The descriptive wording could be clarified a lot (poor English) and the variety of sounds is lacking, but this game is still amazing. Looking forward to updates
