It seems like a building management game but it really isn't. Nothing happens unless you make it happen. For example nothing breaks on their own. You have to intentionally break the toilets or blow the electricity in order to have something to do. Unless you break something there is nothing to manage.
You know how you can enjoy watching little people go about their lives in games like the Sims and Tropical? The people in this game doesn't do anything. Life does not go on on its own in this pointless game. I'm getting a refund.

I downloaded the game because it looked fun, like on of those games that you take care of a hotel. When I got the game it was completely POINTLESS. No levels or points. You can even just make it as tall as you want with no coins or anything. SAVE YOUR MONEY! Don't but this game!!!😡😡😡🙄🙄🙄🙄

So, I bought Skyscrapers with high hopes considering I really like all of the Tinybop games, the game wasn't great but it was okay...
This is what I think it needs:
I think that maybe you could customize characters and give them personalities
I also think that apartments should be customizable, just like by changing the colors of the walls and the furniture
I also think that these characters should have social lives and friends and they should be able to hang out and things
I hope you can consider these ideas and because I believe that these would make the game just have a little bit more potential.
Thank you

I thought this game would be fun after reading the reviews... After about 10 minutes I got super bored because you can do anything. 🙄

Tinybop, this is the first game I've played by you. I have some suggestions, but I don't know your style or the way you like your games to go. But I think you should be able to zoom in and watch the people from anywhere, and give them tasks and personalities. I think you should be able to control characters, with some limitations of course, that's a lot of characters! But it would be fun if we could make a profile for them and customize their apartment, and have them have friends. Maybe if they don't get enough social life then they leave and someone new comes in? Also, I think that maybe people might have families and each person has their own living space so that they can visit each other, but they can also be alone? These are just ideas, so it's fine if you disagree, of course.

So in the video in Skyscrapers Store, I thought it was pretty cool.😎 But when I bought it, it was pretty lame.😒 I think 🤔💭 it just has A LOT of room for improvement. I’m just not satisfied with my purchase. (Not worth deflating your wallet. LOL🤣)

Skyscrapers is worth it just to find all the weird hidden stuff by messing around with power outage and different building tops. The people voices are hilarious too!

Have only had it for a day, but already it's won a few hearts over here. In tiny bop apps I always turn on the labels for my kids. After a while they start dropping scientific terms into casual conversation.

The people in Skyscrapers need to do stuff like sleep and eat and also maybe have a waiter who serve the food then it would be the best app in the world

Skyscrapers let's kids build this app and then exposes the various systems in them (plumbing, electrical, transportation and so on).
If you know Tinybop's Human Body app, this one is similar. It's not so much a game, but toy kids can play with to figure out what's under the 'skin' a skyscraper.
One tip: you can turn on labels that name all the important parts of the building.
My kids especially enjoy playing with the elevators and the plumbing. All the Tinybop apps have great handbooks for parents or teachers available for free on the web. They're fantastic and cover lots of the basic science in Skyscrapers .

My son loves Tinybop games. This one though quickly became his favorite. There always seems to be little surprises that make the games fun. We love hearing him giggle whenever he discovers something new, and enjoy teaching him about lightening rods, tampers, and all of the other things in the game. We highly recommend Skyscrapers!

Great learning app. It's better than your children playing video games where they're not learning. Very fun and interactive also very attention-getting for children. My granddaughter loves it and also the other apps that come with Tinybop.

Skyscrapers is wonderful. My kids are learning about the different systems within a building, the mechanics of how they work, and how they function as a whole to keep the building functional. Form and function! This is a a theme I see emphasized in a lot of Tinybop's apps, which is why we keep buying them! this app is an awesome way for kids to see 'under the hood' of buildings, and gain exposure to the things that are often overlooked (e.g. plumping, electrical systems, foundations, etc)!

My kids and I are long time Tinybop fans -- and Skyscrapers is a great addition to their library. Like always, it's beautifully rendered and carefully designed. As some other reviewers have noted, though, this is not a game in the traditional sense -- like if you had a toy building it wouldn't consider that a game. There are no goals, no competitions, no deadlines. The play is just that, play. You explore Skyscrapers --- look in rooms, zoom in to see how something works, see what happens when you set a given person in motion. For me, the analogy to the old picture books we could look at as kids is apt -- but, being interactive, it's a lot richer than that. Fun and engaging, but mellow, too, unlike a lot of games. And, yeah, the pooping and clogged up toilets are definite crowd pleasers!
