I hope someone can answer my question about the 10 tentacle bar and if it should be going down after fights.

Yes the tentacle bar should be going down. Based on the 4 standard kids you need to fight twice to have the tentacle bar reach zero, which then causes the red'ish screen to appear where you need to tap him 10 times.

If you click on a kid after 4 hours does it collect with the standard thumbs up icon above them?

Are you also clearing your town of various spawns?

Just hover over 1 road place and wait to see if anything turns up. Maybe your 20 storage limit is full, causing the issue.

Here is what EXACTLY happens. I decided to rush the 4 kids at the campfire. 4 thumbs show up representing the 4 kids. I proceed to tap each thumb. Each thumb tap makes the monster yell and I get candy apples. When I tap the 4th thumb, the screen pans over to the tower, where the monster is now on. The screen has gone dark, and I am allowed to tap the monster. I tap like crazy until the monster goes under the water. The screen now pans to one of the monster minions. And that is it! At no time was I allowed to see if the tentacle power bar was going down. When I go to the underwater tower, it says he will return in 12 hours and I should tap minions until then. Hopefully this will help someone see if I am doing something wrong or if my game is glitches?

You only have to fight him for one round in order to defeat him? Do you have the new skins for Lisa, Martin, and Milhouse?

Since you are defeating the monster in one round, I assume you have the premium costume skins for the kids. This will allow you to take out the monster in a single round, so it won't actually show you that the power bar has gone down. You'll only see this if you don't defeat him after a single round of fighting. As far as I can tell, you're doing everything just fine and your game is proceeding normally. As I said in my previous post, just keep an eye on your candy apple count and make sure you're getting the big payouts when he goes back to the tower.

I think everything is actually OK for you. When you fight him at the campfire with the 4 kids, each does 1-2 damage, or more if you have premium skins. Once the monster is defeated, he goes back to his sunken tower and recharges for 12 hours. You then tap him a bunch of times at the tower and he goes back to the campfire and you repeat the whole process, earning precious candy apples through the process. Just keep an eye on your apple count and make sure it's going up through the whole process. There are other threads that indicate how many candy apples you need to be getting - something like 700 a day will get you the final prize, I believe.

I see. I guess I was under the impression that the fighting process WASNT supposed to repeat over and over again because the game makes it seem like you should DEFEAT him and the repeating process makes it seem like you are failing at the fights. Am I understanding that correctly?

that's how it's supposed to work.... just go with it

if you only have basic milhouse/bart/lisa/martin, it takes two rounds of attacks to take him out, in which case you'll see the bar drop... if you can do it in one round, even better.

Yes, this whole act is just fighting and re-fighting the same monster over and over. They should probably have thought about this concept a little harder, but nevertheless this is what we have. For now, you just keep beating him back every time he re-appears. I'm sure at the end of the story line, they'll come up with some ridiculous way to tie it all together and we'll get a big laugh out of it! (or at least a sigh of relief that we won't have to see him again)

Thank you everyone for the help! I greatly appreciate the responses. :)
