Booyah, developer and publisher of the successful
location-based MyTown app, delves further into the intersection of
the real world & the virtual world in the latest update: MyTown
4.0, available now for free exclusively on the iPhone and iPod
touch.
To celebrate MyTown 4.0, the app has a fresh coat of paint and a
unique new interface. In addition to the UI change, MyTown 4.0
boasts a host of new features, including the ability to create
items at properties, a trading function between friends,
Collectibles (now called Stamps) which have special abilities, and
10 brand new challenging levels. Check-ins will also recharge over
time, and there are new powerful items which grant additional
check-ins. Furthermore, players will enjoy unlimited check-ins when
they reach level 70.
The brand new features in MyTown 4.0 include:
o Properties are now like factories that can create items.
Check out “Create Item” in the new property menu screen
to see the new powerful items you can make
o Each location will now have a category, like “shopping,
or dining,” and certain items will be created at specific
category locations. This means more diversity, richer gameplay and
breadth of experience for MyTown residents
o Looking for a particular item? Now you can check your
friend’s inventory and request a trade for other items or
cash. This also means you can trade multiple items at once.
o Leave a comment on the properties you own. Let your friends
know why these locations are your favorite.
o Curious about a location your friend owns? Ping your friend
in-app and ask for a suggestion
o The new location tips feature allows you to parse information
from sources you trust rather than sort anonymous postings
o View your items organized by gameplay type for easier
access. Same items now stack to help minimize your inventory.
o Players at max level now have unlimited check-ins. Continue
checking in to your
favorite locations to find parts to create items. Check-ins also
recharge over time for all players.
