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!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cargo Bridge HD Lite at 77% against Build Up!!'s 34%. Cargo Bridge HD Lite also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Build Up!!'s advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.9) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 13 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Build Up!! holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Build Up!! has 16K 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 34% of Build Up!!'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, Build Up!! fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
