NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS:
By popular demand, I am now adding back the sandbox. Version 4.1 is coming, and will enable you free play again, no purchase req'd.

NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS:
The latest version should fix the start up crash that a lot of you have been seeing. If it did fix it for you and you left a 1 star review, I would humbly ask you to take some time to rate the app again. Many thanks! - Bram

The little crane that could. A game like no other that offers a truly unique experience. Learn to drive and operate a mobile crane.

A realistic physics simulation gives you full control over the crane: rotate, elevate, bend, extend and grapple. It's no walk in the park, no casual game by any means. You'll need to hone your spatial skills before you will be crowned a crane expert.

The little crane that could features:
* 6 free levels
* 18 premium levels (1 in-app-purchase unlocks all 18)
* accurate physics
* great sound effects
* real time shadows via OpenGL-ES2 shaders
* support for iPhone and iPad retina displays
* online leader boards and achievements
* iCloud support for user designed levels
* MSAA on iPad
* Supports user-designed levels (shared via iCloud).
