Report an issueDriving a crane and operating a crane is so much fun. Improve your spatial skills and solve puzzles in this crane simulator, which is enjoyed by over 19 million people, young and old.
A realistic physics simulation gives you full control over the crane: rotate, elevate, bend, extend and grapple. Use your crane to solve a diverse set of challenges. This crane simulator lets you use mobile cranes, dump trucks, forklifts, skid loaders and even a sky crane helicopter.
The Little Crane That Could features 6 free levels and 22 premium levels (1 in-app-purchase unlocks all levels.)

There is a button in the HELP screen that takes you to the feedback page in itunes. Also, there is a FAQ now at http://stolk.org/tlctc/faq.html
NOTICE TO PROFESSIONAL OPERATORS: If you open the settings of your device, and go to 'Little Crane' tab, you can reverse the controls to mimic real-life cranes where pulling the lever is boom up, and pushing is boom down.

8 of 25I’ve played this game on and off for years. I travel a lot, so it’s a good time waster for me. I keep this game on my phone just in case you guys decide to give me new levels. Please make new levels! I will pay!
It won't let me re download it it says it's not comparable
I’ve had the game since it came out and once you put the premium in app purchase of five dollars is a little extreme but I think it would be better at 1-3
It won’t download
Accurate controls and promising challenges.. can't wait to be able to play the locked levels
So, as you can see I gave this game 3 stars. You might be wondering why if anybody even sees this, and the answer is because the game is awesome. Yes, the game is really fun, but I have to pay for almost everything I want yo do. When I call myself poor I don’t really mean it, its just that my parents don’t allow me to buy things, I have literally never spent a penny in a game, they only rarely let me BUY games, so basically what I am asking is if you can make things free. I mean, no offense but this game has been on the app store for years and doesn’t even have 1,000 plays, so it couldn’t possibly hurt you to make one person (maybe a few other people) able ti enjoy a free game. Don’t get me wrong, nobody wants to pay, but just think about the people that physically can’t pay, I am am really hoping that you can take this into consideration, but bye (for now at least)!
This is a great game I like the way it can make your mind work.
There’s an ad every time you do something. The game would be more enjoyable if there were less, I’m not saying non because they still need to make a living. The decent gameplay is ruined by the constant ads.
