One Last Chance to Build Your Springfield?

For those unfamiliar with the game, The Simpsons: Tapped Out lets players rebuild Springfield after Homer's accidental nuclear meltdown. Players manage iconic characters, expand the town to Springfield Heights, and even run Apu's Kwik-E-Mart. The freemium game featured regular updates reflecting show storylines and real-world events, using in-game donuts as its primary currency.
