the little crane that could



The little crane that could. A game like no other that offers a truly unique experience. What other game lets you shoot a hoop with a 10 ton machine, do archeology in Egypt, restore temples in Greece, repair bridges, dispose nuclear waste, bombard city walls, and more?

A realistic physics simulation gives you full control over the crane: rotate, elevate, bend, extend and grapple. It's no walk in the park, no casual game by any means. You'll need to hone your spatial skills before you will be crowned a crane expert. Try it for free at the iOS App Store or the Mac App Store, and discuss it at touchArcade.

UPDATE: Version 1.9.1 for iOS now available at the App Store.
UPDATE: MacOS version now available on Mac App Store. See below.
UPDATE: See the FAQ.
UPDATE: On february 12, 2011 the 1 million downloads milestone was reached.

MacOS port

A port of the little crane that could is available on the Mac App Store. The desktop version features exclusive content with a new vehicle and two new levels. You can discuss, or provide feedback on the game at the Touch Arcade forums. The new crawler has an extremely realistic simulation of tracks, as can be seen in the video below.

Bram was interviewed by Geek Preview, where he discusses the history of the little crane, and his future plans for indie game development.
