Tow Truck puts you in the driver's seat of a heavy-duty recovery vehicle. Navigate through difficult terrain to reach stranded cars, then use your mechanical crane and winch to hook them up and tow them to safety. Each level presents a new environmental puzzle requiring careful use of physics, leverage, and power.

Our Expert Score
Tow Truck is a surprisingly charming physics puzzler that tasks you with the oddly specific job of rescuing stranded vehicles. It isn't a driving simulator in the traditional sense; it's more about the mechanical puzzle of operating the crane and winch. You have to carefully position your truck and manage the tension of the cables to pull cars out of ditches without flipping your own rig.
The controls are touch-responsive and intuitive, though the physics can occasionally feel a bit 'bouncy.' It lacks the high-production value of major studio releases, but it makes up for it with creative level design that forces you to think about leverage and center of gravity. It's a great little time-killer for fans of physics-based interaction.
Features
Realistic winch and crane physics

Tips & Walkthrough
When winching a car out of a steep ravine, don't just hold the pull button. Pulse the winch to prevent the cable from snapping or pulling your truck into the hole. Watch the tension meter carefully!
Gameplays
Before deploying the hook, park your truck on flat, solid ground. If you try to tow a heavy vehicle while parked on a slope, you'll likely tip over before the rescue is complete.

Mon Feb 04 2013 Lois gossett jrThere's a new hero in town...ME!! I'm towing cars everywhere, helping out erryone. It's a calling, not suitable for everyone, "tow" much pressure, but towing is I was born to do. Oh, did I mention I'm a WOMAN!! Hold your eyes before they pop out of your head in disbelief!! Yeah..total mind blower.
Son still loves this one.
Fri Oct 25 2013 Sweet Baby 73We have had this for over a year and my four year old is still really into it. He loves to see real tow trucks now.
Help?
Sun Apr 29 2012 Scooze1Kiddo loves it but the tow truck got stuck getting a station wagon out of the mud. There seemed to be nothing avail to do but spin our smokin wheels.
Son is entertained!
Sun Sep 09 2012 Sporty morayMy 3 yr old is so excited every time he gets to hook a car. Currently no sound and I wish it could build up to a greater diversity of vehicles, but for now it is awesome!
Great App
