Span is a calm, physics-driven bridge builder. Draw a bridge across the gap, choose your materials, then press Test and watch it carry the load โ€” or buckle in glorious slow motion. Every beam glows with the forces running through it: a live X-ray of tension and compression, so you can see exactly why it held, or why it snapped. Rewind, move one strut, try again. โ€ข 57 hand-built levels across eight worlds โ€” timber valleys to ocean straits โ€ข Timber, steel, stone, cables and road & rail decks โ€ข Real hazards: wind, earthquakes, thermal stress and floods โ€ข Drawbridges, canal locks, trains and passing ships โ€ข God-mode Sandbox: unlimited budget, every material, every disaster โ€ข Level editor: sculpt terrain, place anchors, schedule the traffic โ€ข One-tap replay export โ€” share your best holds and worst fails No ads. No timers. No subscription. Buy once, build forever. Free through Chapter 1 โ€” unlock the full game (all worlds, the sandbox and the editor) with a single purchase.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: One Arm at none against Span's 1. One Arm also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). Span's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
