84/100

SimplePhysics is a brilliant marriage of engineering logic and pure, destructive fun. It captures the 'trial and error' spirit of construction perfectly—you're given a budget and a goal, and it's up to you to design a structure that doesn't collapse under its own weight. The blueprint editor is incredibly intuitive, making it easy to sketch out complex designs in seconds.

The real genius, however, is the stress-testing phase. Watching your bridge or treehouse turn bright red as it nears its breaking point is genuinely tense. And if it does fail? The physics engine provides a hilarious and educational look at exactly where your engineering went wrong. The addition of the 'Finger Test' and explosions adds a layer of sandbox play that keeps it from feeling like just another educational tool. It's a game that makes you think like an engineer while letting you play like a kid with a wrecking ball.

The Game

Available on: iPhone, iPad, iPod

Version 2.1.4Mon Aug 21 2017

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

Updated to support 64-bit.


SimplePhysics lets you design complex structures for everything from tree houses to ferris wheels and then simulates your design with a sophisticated physics engine.

A wise person once said: "An engineer is someone who can do for a dime what any fool can do for a dollar." In SimplePhysics, your design must not only be strong enough, it must be cheap enough to win.

Create your design in seconds with the blueprints editor. If you make a mistake, simply tap the Undo button. Zoom in and out by pinching the screen and pan the view using a two finger drag.

While testing, you can see how the strain is distributed across your design. Areas that are under immense strain are colored bright red, while other areas are colored green. This allows you to find and fix problem areas in your design.

The finger test lets you use your finger to push and pull on your design. You can use this with pinpoint accuracy, or you can just smash your design to smithereens. The finger test has an explosive new twist. You can now create explosions by tapping the screen for ultimate annihilation.

The newly added Bomb Shack level includes a dummy with full support for ragdoll physics. Throw him around, blow him up, and smash him against your design.

The slow motion feature lets you slow things down so you can see how your design is failing, and it is also incredibly fun to watch explosions destroying your design in slow motion.

Features

* Realistic physics simulation

* Ragdoll physics

* Slow motion mode

* Stress display shows problem areas in your design

* Wide variety of levels!

* Finger Test - smash your design to pieces, or blow it up with realistic explosions!

* Save/Load designs

* E-mail your blueprints to your friends

* Universal support for the iPad

SimplePhysics lets you design complex structures for everything from tree houses to ferris wheels and submarines. Using a sophisticated physics engine, the game simulates how your design will hold up under pressure. Use the blueprints editor to build quickly, and then watch the stress distribution—areas under strain turn red while stable areas stay green. To win, your design must be both strong and cheap. For extra fun, use the 'Finger Test' to push your creation to its limits, or use the slow-motion feature to watch realistic explosions destroy your failed designs in detail.

Q&A

The Finger Test allows you to manually push, pull, and poke your design to see how it reacts to external forces before blowing it up.
