Initial post/review:
[I’ve been playing a lot today, and for some reason in the top right corner, all of my money is being removed. I was at the arcade, winning tickets when it displayed -10,000. I had 19k and was down to 9k. Then while at my condo, I was decorating and I had 5,000 and lost -800 FOR NO REASON.]

Hello, this seems like a possible bug with how units are displayed, sorry you had this problem. Units are handled on our backend servers, and then tracked separately by the player’s computer (in order to reduce network traffic). Likely you had bought something at some point and it didn’t properly update locally at the time, but the server noted the transaction and reduced your unit count on the server. Then at a later period and check-in with our backend occurred and it rectified the count. Had you used Tower Express before this? If you’re able to reproduce this in anyway we’d love a post in the bugs section of our forums at forums.Pixeltailgames.com
In any case, I’ll keep an eye out for unit synchronization issues next time I’m testing. Sorry this detracted from your experience.

When I buy something or when I first joined the game for the day, it still randomly removes -200, or -1000, ect Also when I buy things, I watch my money live (not frozen or lagged) go lower. What I mean is I understand that youre saying its updating it later but its taking an additional amount on top of what was removed already (in the case of purchasing items) and when I havent bought anything for the entire time im in the game (ie: playing mini golf or using tokens at the arcade)…
additionally, yes, I have reproduced this bug every time I play with no effort at all.
Screenshot of one of the many times I’ve had units removed. It also is not in any pattern, its all over the place. 1k here, 10k there, 200 here, ect
