Fun, thought provoking, limited
CasualOldGamer
I really like this app. It's fun and challenging. But, there is no guidance. After you walk through the initial instructions, you never get any more feedback. I'd love to understand trusses more. But, I'm just left to figure out each on on my own. I have passed all 15 levels, but many with one star. I wish there was a companion web tutorial or even a suggestion of where to look for more information.
Potential is there

This app has a lot of potential. Today it has almost no help or instructions. You "solve it" but get few points. That implies a more elegant solution must exist. It claims to teach you but without some suggestions it only leaves you frustrated. So why do I keep playing it? It is fun I guess.
Great game and addictive

I haven't enjoyed a game as much in awhile - it's good smart fun and you learn about efficient load bearing - win win!
Decent game

I love apps like this but for the money it should have more levels. Would give it 5 but its simply too short for me
Not as Accurate as they claim

As a mechanical engineer, I find their physics engine to be quite lackluster. Unless, of course, the bridges are being built with rubber, since their tensile load seems to be about 10x their compression load. Maybe they're just cables, so they can't support a compression load at all. Who knows.
It's almost awesome

Just can't seem to make any structure that can stand on it's own under it's own weight. Even a small triangle collapses. What is the material? Clay? Jello? Slurpee straws? That aside, I think it's a great idea. It will be awesome once it's fixed.
Good keeps getting better

This app is fantastic! It not only computes the behavior of trusses but also provides great visual feedback. For example, you can visualize both the deformation of the structure and the stresses on the bars. No other app I am aware of shows stresses, which are crucial for understanding the difference between tension and compression. In this app blue means compression, and you can easily see how compressed bars buckle! The gaming aspect makes it even more interesting. Love learning while having the motivation to beat an extra level!
Great game

Hey! Me and my cousin met u at Georgia tech and u took a picture of us and u said we were the first to beat ur game and I loved ur game! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
