Android engineers can design, build, and test all kinds of bridges with ClockStone's Bridge Constructor FREE. You've got to rescue stranded people and help a picturesque island nation recover from an earthquake by rebuilding bridges with different materials and within budget. Spans get longer as the game progresses, and your designs must meet a variety of challenges.

Pros

Civil engineering is fun! Who knew? Lots of people, actually: Bridge Constructor is one of the most popular puzzle/sims for iOS, and now it's available on Android.

Bridge building is easy! Anyone can build bridges when chasms are spanned with a few taps and mistakes erased with a double-tap.

Engineering school: It's almost impossible not to learn basic engineering concepts like load bearing and stress by playing Bridge Constructor.

A quality job: The engineering, stresses, testing, and budgeting are realistic in concept, and the 3D backgrounds are nicely rendered. Instructions are clear and comprehensive, too.

Cons

Ad-interventions: Banners and full-page ads are annoying, to be sure, but they pay the bills (something to consider when you're managing your construction budget!).

Nerdy but nice: This game is way fun, but designing and building bridges in an earthquake-ravaged island nation isn't for everyone -- rock stars and film actors included.

Bottom Line

Bridge Constructor FREE is so much cooler than it sounds that we can only tell you to go to the island nation of Camatuga and see for yourself why everyone's playing at bridge-building these days.
