One Last Chance to Play?

If you've never experienced the game, here's a quick overview. You take control of Springfield's reconstruction after Homer's accidental nuclear meltdown. Rebuild the town, manage characters like Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart, and Fat Tony, and even expand to Springfield Heights and run the Kwik-E-Mart. The game is freemium, featuring regular updates tied to the show and real-world events. Donuts serve as the in-game currency to accelerate progress.
