About The Little Crane That Could

The Little Crane is back! And it brought its friends to play in the dirt.

Driving and operating heavy machinery is a blast!
Test your operating skills in this simulator game with a diverse set of challenges.

Use the crane to load an unload, the bulldozer to shape the terrain, and an excavator to dig up the terrain.

Speaking of terrain: it is the real hero in this game!
With never seen before dig-anywhere technology™ you can shape the world.
Any changes to the world will persist between levels and game sessions, and there are no restrictions: cliffs, overhangs, caves, tunnels: it is all possible.

The world size is near infinite: you can dig a hole, then drive for an hour in a random direction and backtrack by following your track impressions in the terrain.
You will then find your dug hole as you left it: no short-cuts: real terrain simulation!

The game features 8 levels, and for each challenge you are given one or more vehicles to fulfill your mission. Each vehicle comes to life with quality physics simulations, and faithfully interacts with its environment.

Super cute little game, but those with older PCs should be warned TLCTC is a bit of a CPU cycle-hungry monster. While this runs fine on my four year old machine, the one I had prior lagged like mad despite exceeding the minimum requirements. The machines in this are not remotely realistic in their operation, yet this somehow feels more like a simulator than any of the other heavy equipment games on Steam. For instance, turning the excavator too sharply while rolling downhill at speed will rip off one or both track belts. One can also easily roll any of the vehicles if they try and climb or descend any hill on too steep of an angle. Dozing some dirt is very satisfying, as provided you don't try and load the blade too much in one go you can bite into and cut through most of the map hills pretty easily within ten minutes of playing. If you're looking at this solely as an achievement hunter, you can 100% the game in a little under three hours with a bit of trial and error on two of the eleven levels. I do have one fairly major complaint, switching vehicles resets dirt piled around or in them. While not a bad thing in theory, this means you can't treat the stake bed truck as a dump tr…

This game feels like a tech demo for some amazing upcoming sandbox game! Kinda short, but they have a sandbox mode in it so you get to mess around a bit. it feels like things are missing and this game could have been so much more. I hope the devs make a new version thats bigger and has more vehicles/tasks

Sad writing this review. I played LCTC 1 and 2 on mobile and adore them. The controls on this are horrible and gameplay is nothing like mobile. do not buy if thats what you are wanting
