It is almost time for the Super Bowl, and once again, the Minnesota Vikings have crushed my dreams by falling apart in crucial games. Ah, yearly traditions. In brighter news, SMT Games has announced their Super Tiny Bowl Update for Super Tiny Football, bringing super massive improvements.

Starting with the big one, you can choose between Free to Play or Premium, with the former obviously having some restrictions. The obvious one being having to endure adverts. Free users can access limited offline play using the new currency, gems, which everyone will get thanks to Daily Bonuses and rewards. You can also “watch” rewarded ads for more gems if you choose.

Gems can also be used to unlock uniforms, stadiums, and customisation options. To sign players and upgrade facilities, though, you will need to collect those Franchise Credits. Speaking of customising, there are hundreds of new uniforms and stadiums to choose from. Premium players can also change team and player names, which I am sure will only be used with the utmost respect.

In terms of gameplay, there have been a few tweaks made to the tackling mechanics and game difficulty to create a smoother, more balanced experience. You will also get a little nudge to upgrade the difficulty level should you win multiple games in a row so you can keep the challenge fresh

Existing Premium players are also getting thanked for their support with a one-off 100-gem bonus, which is a nice loyalty reward, to be sure. SMT has also noted that any existing premium purchases will also remain honoured. A strange thing to explicitly state, but good to know nonetheless. All in all, it sounds like a positive update, and a very strong showing for SMTs first mobile game.

Super Tiny Football is available to download from the App Store and Google Play.
