The game is actually relatively simple, yet complex in that you can achieve the end goal with bonuses by using less girders etc.
    Overall it is a very solid game, not to mention it only cost $4.99 to own.

    Biggest complaint, lack of a creation mode...I would also like to have seen a mode in which you can build infinitely large straight horizontal bridges for your elephants.    … Full Review »

The graphics are quite good and the music is sufficient. The learning curve starts out a little steep; but once you catch on, you're able to focus on speed and efficiency instead of just the solution.

    There are a couple annoyances that I just can't seem to get over though. The replays are a nice and expected touch; but there is no control of the replay. You can't save it, share it, fast forward, rewind, or change the speed; and yet, you are allowed to change your zoom levels. Speeking of zoom, I think it should have been more fine tuned to allow more than just the three levels (all the way out, mid-way, and way too close). Finally, they should have implemented a way to lock the view onto an elephant while running the course because it's far too difficult to manage your view while paying attention to everything you need to watch in order to figure out what's going wrong and how to fix it.

    Overall, it's certainly worth the $5 price and I'm having a great time playing it. Hopefully they can patch it to fix some of my compaints, and then it would be a AAA budget title.    … Full Review »
