X Construction by CrossConstruct is the free game app of the day for April 9 at the Amazon Appstore for Android. (Usually $1.49)

Product Description

Build bridges, not walls, with X Construction loaded on your Android (OS 2.1 or higher), and then send a train across your creation to see if it holds up under the pressure, or collapses into catastrophe. Representing a real-world twist on the addictive physics-based casual game genre, X Construction uses the materials and building principles of civil engineering as you try out new bridge designs and test their strength with fully loaded trains.

For each of the first 15 Crossing levels, you'll be given a limited amount of supplies to build your bridge, and a limited number of foundation base-points to use as structural anchors. As you lay the girders, concrete and cables down with a touch and drag of your fingertip, you have control over the material's length, to a point. And this is where the puzzling, exciting aspect of the game comes into play: simply placing girders in a random but eye-pleasing manner will likely result in a literal train wreck of a project.
