About this app

Driving a crane and operating a crane is so much fun. Improve your spatial skills and solve puzzles in this crane simulator, which is enjoyed by over 19 million people, young and old. A realistic physics simulation gives you full control over the crane: rotate, elevate, bend, extend and grapple. Use your crane to solve a diverse set of challenges. This crane simulator lets you use mobile cranes, dump trucks, forklifts, skid loaders and even a sky crane helicopter. The Little Crane That Could features 6 free levels and 22 premium levels (1 in-app-purchase unlocks all levels.) UPDATE FROM DEVELOPER: You can follow me @BramStolk on Twitter. Please consider providing feedback on the game, good or bad. I need to know what you are thinking. There is a button in the HELP screen that takes you to the feedback page in itunes. Also, there is a FAQ now at http://stolk.org/tlctc/faq.html NOTICE TO PROFESSIONAL OPERATORS: If you open the settings of your device, and go to 'Little Crane' tab, you can reverse the controls to mimic real-life cranes where pulling the lever is boom up, and pushing is boom down. 'The Little Crane That Could' is a game by Abraham Stolk, and it uses the OpenDE physics engine. Open Dynamics Engine is: Copyright (c) 2001-2007, Russell L. Smith. All rights reserved.
