Breadboard
Read full descriptionHide full description
Every circuit in Breadboard is really simulated. Not "connect the dots" simulated โ really simulated. Under every puzzle runs a genuine DC circuit solver: currents are computed, voltages divide, power heats resistors. Skip the resistor and your LED actually burns out. Short the battery and you'll cook something. If it lights in Breadboard, it would light on a real bench. That honesty is the whole game. BUILD, DON'T GUESS You get a breadboard, a battery, and a tray of parts. Tap to place components, wire up the strips and rails, and bring the circuit to life. The board behaves like the real thing โ power rails, terminal strips, the center gap. What you learn here works on a real breadboard, because it IS a real breadboard. A REAL CURRICULUM, DISGUISED AS A GAME 130 hand-built levels across 13 chapters walk the classic hobbyist path: โข LEDs and current limiting โ why that resistor matters โข Resistor craft โ series, parallel, power ratings โข Switches, motors, and buzzers โ loads that need MORE current, not less โข Voltage dividers and sensor chips โ engineering a voltage, not just a current โข Diodes and zeners โ one-way streets and reference voltages โข Capacitors โ blocking, inrush, and hold-up โข Relays โ circuits that control other circuits โข Inductors โ including the flyback diode lesson every maker learns the hard way โข Transistors โ how a tiny current commands a big one โข MOSFETs and level shifters โ 3.3V and 5V living together โข 7-segment displays โ light exactly the right segments โข Master Bench capstones โ everything at once, under a fuse's current budget Every mechanic is a real concept you'll absorb without ever reading a lecture. STUCK? WATCH THE TUTOR BUILD IT The optional "Solve it for me" tutor places the solution one part at a time and explains each step with real numbers โ like a patient friend at the bench. It's there when you want it and invisible when you don't. NEW: THE CHEMISTRY BENCH Switch benches on the home screen to mix acids and bases, weigh precipitates and tame hot reactions, with the same honesty: real pH, real moles, real heat. Chapter 1 (10 experiments) is free; chapters 2 to 4 unlock with a one-time in-app purchase. CALM, PREMIUM, YOURS โข No accounts, no cloud, no timers, no energy bars โข No ads, no third-party trackers โ optional anonymous usage stats, off unless you say yes (Settings, any time) โข Fully offline โ the whole game works in airplane mode โข Buy once, own it. No subscriptions. All 130 circuit levels are included; the only extra is the optional Chemistry Bench unlock โข A warm, tactile workshop aesthetic โ parchment, brass, and glowing filaments Made for curious tinkerers, makers, students, and anyone who ever wondered why the LED needs that resistor. Come find out โ and burn a few on the way.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Cross Me at Free against Breadboard's $7.99. Cross Me also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 17.0). Breadboard's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#71 vs unranked). On device support there is nothing between them.
