Customer Reviews

Controls (5 stars)
Really nice app specially if you like cranes, please think about the dual stick controls, can be a plus and more easy to use, like a real one.

Needs other forklift parts. (2 stars)
A fork lift with a boom may be a machine that may be put in this game it would probly make the game a bit more better.

Great (5 stars)
I played only the free stages, but it is super game
