Cargo Bridge, Limex Games' most popular download, first became available to millions of iPad users in summer 2011. The object of the game is to build bridges within each one of four different levels. This is how your little workers are able to move heavy cargo (including crates, safes and even elephants!) from one side of the valley to the other. With every level, the difficulty increases. Players must build bridges across larger gaps, up and down inclines and around obstacles in their path. They are also given access to new building materials. • Building and simulation modes • Four levels of complexity • Egyptian and Greek themes • Amazing physics engine • Step-by-step help system • Addictive gameplay • Completely free! Use your creativity and skill to build bridges simply by drawing with your finger on the touch screen. Ready to give it a go? Go on, then. Install and enjoy!

Put your engineering skills, intuition and smarts to test in this brand new Bridge Construction Simulator. You will need to plan, improvise and – most of all – adapt to the task at hand. Use your resources to construct structures able to hold the weight of different vehicles.  You will design and construct increasingly elaborate bridges across four varied locations. Things may seem easy when you start out in a city, but once you move to the canyon, valley and finally mountains, the size and resilience of your structures will have to increase substantially. In addition to the normal mode you will be able to select an easy (for an increased budget and more flexibility) or hard one (for an ultimate challenge). If you find yourself in a tight spot, a hint system will help guide you to the solution. Realistic and detailed graphics make every level come to life and even offer a slight consolation when you fail. Because when your bridge collapses and the car falls down, you can at least be sure it looks spectacular! Game features: - Superb physics - Multiple addictive levels accross four different worlds - State of the art realistic graphics - Fantastic, varied and detailed environments - Spectacular special effects - Mind bending, challenging puzzles - Varying difficulty levels for increased challenge or more relaxed gameplay - Built-in hint system IGRS rating: 13+

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bridge Construction Sim holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bridge Construction Sim has 4.2K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Cargo Bridge HD Lite's written reviews are positive against 53% of Bridge Construction Sim's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cargo Bridge HD Lite ships an update every 13 months, Bridge Construction Sim every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
