SimplePhysics Review
The long awaited sequel to BridgeBasher, SimplePhysics revolves around building structures to withstand certain tests – For example, building a skyscraper that will stand up in high wind, building a ferris wheel that will carry people through two revolutions or perhaps building a treehouse that has to hold 5 children? The levels are fun and enjoyable, and will test the brain of everyone from the average Joe to the structural engineers among the masses.
The app is quick to load and I was struck by how easy it was to build a structure that would stand a chance of getting past the challenges. However, SimplePhysics relies on the saying “An Engineer is someone who can do for a dime, what any fool can do for a dollar.” As so, there are cost limits in place. Your design does not just have to be strong enough, it also has to be cheap enough to beat the level.
However, the game only comes with a few levels, 10 of them to be exact, and a tutorial. It’s a fun game, but it is one that you could possibly blast through in a day or so. The other thing that disappointed me was that unlike BridgeBasher, this game does not have a sandbox mode, which would be entirely possible considering the rather fun “Finger Test”, where you can pull and explode your designs.
Even without these additions, SimplePhysics is a great app for the boffins among our readers. It entertained me as long as it lasted, although I still can’t for the life of me figure out how to get that crane to not break lifting that weight.
