A good way to structure a puzzle game is to link to something a person would encounter
in everyday life and that's what Poly Bridge does. This concise puzzle game challenges
you to build functional and stable bridges over a variety of gaps. It's a 2D affair
where you're tasked to come up with a solution based on the information you see and the
resources you have. There's no telling whether your design works until after you test
it out. If you mess up, you can try as many times as you want and then aim to get a
better score on top of success.
About Poly Bridge
Physics and polygonal style games are
popular for a reason and this game tries to take advantage of that. While not as
amusing as a game like Happy Wheels, there's still satisfaction to be had as you play
the role of an unseen engineer. As long as you have the backing, you can make your
bridges as elaborate as you want for your own entertainment. The vehicle you're
ferrying doesn't seem to be in a hurry so run it through your test bridges as much as
you want and you might end up with a structure that works.
>How to Play
Poly Bridge is
controlled entirely with the mouse and a UI screen. The game menu icons are in the
bottom left corner of the screen while the gameplay icons are on the right side and top
left. Your remaining money for building bridges is tracked in the top right corner and
you want to spend as little of it as possible to get the highest rating (three
stars).
Gameplay Icons
Line - Creates a line from a node (max length of one 5x5
square)
Delete - Destroy a select line
Undo - Retract your last move
Reset - Resets the
puzzle
Play - Finalizes the bridge and starts the vehicle
The goal of each puzzle is to
build a bridge that is strong enough to support the vehicle on the left side of the
screen. To succeed and unlock the next puzzle, the vehicle needs to safely cross your
bridge.
Tips and Tricks
Since this is a physics-based game you should apply some
real-world thinking. Consider all the bridges you've seen and how they're structured
when facing these puzzles. The size of the vehicle also plays a huge role so carefully
plan around it.
