Designed by a true rocket scientist, Truss Me helps you learn to design structures while having fun! At each challenge, design structures that are light and strong and you will earn precious golden nuts. Truss Me utilizes state of the art simulation techniques used by aerospace, mechanical, and civil engineers to provide the most realistic behavior for your structures. If well designed, your structures will resist as they would in real life*. If your design has flaws, the structure will fail realistically*! *Truss Me has been created for educational and recreational purposes only. It must not be used under any circumstances to design or compute real structures.

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 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bridge Construction Sim has 4.2K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Truss Me!'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

Truss Me! ships an update every 3 months, Bridge Construction Sim every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
