Been playing this for a couple of weeks now. Hardest part I find is getting any sort if gear going. Needs some sort of collection and crafting system. I have plenty of water and food. The issue is that gear is such an RNG thing with apartments and the police station early on. I would feel the hames progress would be a little better if you were guaranteed some gear after the second or third scavenge of a spot maybe. Would help with pacing. Otherwise its just zombies tiny towers but reversed with alot less add spam which makes me enjoy it quite a lot.

Cool game, but UI needs a bit of fixing.

It's interesting, great to pass a bit of time, and it reminded me of this old game I used to play called Lil' Kingdom, because of the downwards elevator, but there are some UI flaws that needs fixing, like, I purchased the rattle box elevator skin, but the chain in the middle is covering the floor number so having a bitizen who needs to go up makes driving the elevator confusing. There's also bugs where the bitizens was walking off of the elevator while I was driving it. 😨 Some of the UI is covering the zombies, so it's kind of clunky for now. The mini quest where I have to find someone needs to be fixed because I'm starting to have people who look the same, so I hope they'll at least differentiate by name, or more variety in the future.

I love tiny tower and still do, this game definitely has an authentic feel similar to tiny tower! You get a variety of cool names for the different room types, unique citizen outfits, and changeable themes. Definitely excited to see what’s in store for tiny shelter, keep updating Nimblebit!!

Nimblebit has long put out many fun games so I expect they’ll evolve this one to match their usual quality since this is still in beta. Wishlist:1) after I complete a mission, don’t make me reopen the window just to get the prize. It’s incredibly annoying to have unnecessary popups like this. Just give the box when the mission target is clicked upon2) expeditions need to have some value. I’ve quit bothering with them altogether in recent rebuilds. They seem to only hurt morale, and the rewards aren’t really that interesting. Even if I found a new weapon or armor, they don’t carry into the next rebuild so they have trivial value. 3) speaking of morale, we need some way to understand how morale is calculated. It seems to be tied to water and food supplies but it is clearly more than that. I have no idea what to do to improve it.
