Can the clock be goofed in Tiny Tower?

Question

Many "Persistent World" games like Farmville prevent cheating by requiring an internet connection so you're always playing by their clock; Tiny Tower however does not require an internet connection.

Does this mean it's possible to play with my device's clock and manipulate the game time? Does the game try to "punish" you at all for doing this? Animal Crossing for instance made the game very hard to play (billions of weeds grew) if you messed with the device clock.

Yes. There is no punish for this as I have done this before to test the theory.

Your items will sell out, you will make gobs of money, and build times would be shortened (obviously).

Does the game try to "punish" you at all for doing this?

Not really, no.

BE CAREFUL THOUGH: If you build / start to stock items and then revert back to the correct time, you will show the total stocking time = stocking time + time skipped ahead.

To avoid this, do not stock items and then move back to the correct time. Let all stocking finish, or skip the time forward till the stocking is completed.

One other issue I seem to have was that no more customers will come by your stores....

This is fixed by closing out the application completely and reopening it.
