The spin-off of SimplePhysics. Protect your dummy from explosions, boulders, spiked walls, and more!

Use the blueprints editor to design a structure that will protect your dummy, Melvin, from some random danger. Youll have to work with the available materials. Most of the time youll use wood, sometimes youll use concrete, but you must always use your most important asset: your brain.

A wise person once said: "An engineer is someone who can do for a dime what any fool can do for a dollar." In Dummy Defense, your design must not only be strong enough, it must be cheap enough to win. Building cheaper structures will earn you more stars on a level.

Create your design in seconds with the blueprints editor. If you make a mistake, simply tap the Undo button. Zoom in and out by pinching the screen and pan the view using a two finger drag.

While testing, you can see how the strain is distributed across your design. Areas that are under immense strain are colored bright red, while other areas are colored green. This allows you to find and fix problem areas in your design.

The slow motion slider lets you slow things down so you can see how your design is failing, and it is also incredibly fun to watch explosions destroying your design in slow motion.

Pros and cons of Dummy Defense app for iPhone and iPad

Dummy Defense app good for

Hey, Its a great app very fun. It Reminds me of an old game on the computer in which you build a bridge with a budget to get a train across a gap. The only thing I didnt like about this app is that it wont let me purchase the physics package.
No complaints about this game at all. Maybe a bit short, but updates could add more variety and playability. If the creator releases an aerodynamic-physics game, Ill be all over that.
Its frustrating but you cant stop til you get each level done lol!!!!
An intelligent and entertaining game for everyone! Even more challenging than Simple Physics.
Your games are the best please make more.(and if you could make some free ones.)
Better than Simple Physics and Dummy Defense. Fun, but I wish there were more challenging levels. As it is, keeping things cheap is incentive enough to keep replaying.

Some bad moments

You know what?f,uk you! The game is ok but there is only 25levels in the game! You really love money do you? People ,do not buy this app,otherwise you will only use like 20mins to finish it and have to pay another 99cents for more! Not worth to buy it,trust me
The game is fun for a while, but eventually it just gets repetative and boring.
Il gioco è simpatico, ma il livello 18 è impossibile da risolvere. Ho acquistato il "solution pack", che dovrebbe fornire una soluzione per ciascuno dei 25 livelli... ma la soluzione proposta non funziona... Soldi rubati. Nice game, but level 18 is impossible to solve. I purchased the "solution pack", which should provide a solution for all the 25 levels ... but the proposed solution dont works... Stolen money!
I bought this game a long time ago, I was so excited about the sandbox mode, it worked for the first couple days, and I can still play the levels that I, and others created during that time, but anything more recent than a certain point doesnt work, also, the rating system doesnt work. When you click on best levels it just takes you to the oldest levels. And then proceeds in order of when they were posted, regardless of whether they were rated high or not.
Has its bugs like all apps tend to but overall this is one of the most enjoyable "thinking" games out. Cant wait for next installment.
Paid the dollar, but after on 30 puzzles it requires more money to move onto other puzzles. Sounds greedy to me, not knowing what you will actually get for your money. Fun but not worth the frustration an ongoing expense.
