Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
As with all events, many of you are asking for dialogue you may have missed from tapping too fast. Usually we wait until the end of the event to post the full dialogue, but in this case we have a couple of items that need translation or you’re wondering what else you may be missing. So in this case I thought it may be a good idea to post some of the dialogue a little earlier…
The Globe from Norbert’s Daily Tasks spits out fun facts every time you tap on it….
And then there’s Mr. Sparkle, who’s dialogue could use a little translation, especially when his dialogue looks like this:
