s this really all that different from pretty much all early arcade games? Most had a finite set of levels that looped (almost) indefinitely, leaving you to play just for the fun of it or to chase high score bragging rights.
Yeah that's true, but getting to see the levels loop again required some kind of mastery of the game instead of just tapping away at the screen. "The Simpson's Tapped Out" recognizes this and almost jokingly makes it a point to keep you tapping away. The game was strangely addictive at first but then I was realizing that I was basically staring at a static screen for hours and wasn't really even playing a game, but just having a Pavlovian response every time the game made a new noise.
