Scoop - Excavator
Programmed with real world physics applied to touch sensitive joysticks. The joysticks which control the excavator’s boom, bucket, stick and swing operate exactly as they do in a real excavator (Players can select either SAE or ISO control patterns). The tracks of the Scoop excavator are controlled by mobile devices’ accelerometers. (An accelerometer is an electromechanical device that measures acceleration forces). Tilt the device forward, and the tracks of the excavator move forward. Since track motion is controlled by the accelerometer (traditionally controlled by foot pedals in a real excavator), and all other excavator functions are controlled by the two joysticks, players are able to interact with all excavator controls simultaneously — a feature that no other game in the construction genre enjoys.

Looks a good game. I would like to try it on my iphone. But like WaterDoc and LT-x7 said, I will not spend my $2 to that game although it's interesting to try.

I like to switch back and forth between the two.
Helps keep my concentration level up. Heart rate too, when working close to something...... :)
