TC Apps Insight: Donut Trumpet Tycoon

Connected to foursquare, this game allows you to buy properties nearby and earn daily rent everytime people check-in to the place.


The first screen shows the most renowned figure in the industry (well the game's name already give us the clue) smiling and raising his thumb while the other hand is put near a button that says "Do Not Press!", like saying he will follow the rules but secretly rebels. Nice try! :)

After a while of playing you will be presented with a chance card (I guess it's daily, but I'm not sure). This chance card will affect your current balance and your mind, cuz it will make you think that it has anything to do with your luck.


1. Dashboard

This screen allows you to see your achievement, total amount of your asset, your current cash available, level, etc. One important number here is your coin balance. It allows you to speed up your progress on "Your Skills" tab.  

All other features will be shown once you click the menu on the top left of the screen. They are pretty much self-explanatory, but to give a full insight, I am going to show each feature from this game.


2. Buy Properties

This is the list of properties around you within radius of hundreds meters. The percentage shows how much of the property is being owned by someone.


When you click one of the property, it will show the detail of your bid. the slider for how much you want to buy, estimated revenue, and daily cost. If you decide to buy, it will show another screen that tell your legal team are working on the paperwork for your purchase. The higher the price, the longer it takes to finish the paperwork. And they will charge you if it exceeds 24 hours.



The validation is neat and has been thought thoroughly. You can't buy if you don't have enough money. You can't proceed if you don't have enough lawyers.


3. Marketplace

Marketplace shows various properties outside of your area from around the world. You will be amazed to see what kind of assets being sold here.


They provide five options as filters, as shown below:


The first one is Category which shows various type of properties like: ATM, Auto Dealer, Shopping Mall, and lots of surprises for sure. The second is Time, it will sort the list based on remaining time to bid. The third one is Country which shows list of country where the properties lays.


The fourth one is based on the number of bids the property had, and the last one is based on the market value which the property offers.



4. Activity

This section will store every action you took in the game. Whether it's a purchase, bidding, sells, etc.


5. Portfolio

This part will show you, your assets so far. For each asset, it will show a simple balance sheet includes the total revenue you've received and total costs you've spent.


You can get into detail of each property by tapping it. It will show you the sums of your earnings, the monthly cost, etc. It also shows you three options such see who owns the property, how to increase earnings, and sell the property.



The only way to increase earnings is by using your coins. There are various upgrades on a property with certain percentage of profit for certain amount of coins.


You can see who own the shares for the property by clicking VIEW OWNERS. For example, 20% of SETIABUDI HOUSE is owned by me.


There's a limit of how many properties owned by a user (can be seen on Portfolio --> Max Properties). If you think you are ready to "fly higher" you can sell your old property to buy a better one which generates better incomes.


6. Property Offers

I'm not sure what it does, but I guess it's for user who got a bid for their properties.



7. Bank

Obviously there's always ways to raise coins. One of them is by buying them for some "real" money.


8. Upgrades

You can also upgrade properties based on the options.


9. Leaderboards

This menu will show you your current ranks among other players, whether on national or global scale.


10. Announcements

Some information really worth a look in this section.
