Not remotely as good and polished as Bridge Constructor Portal, but I still completed the game anyway because I'm addicted to this gameplay loop. Now I'm going to play the Walking Dead spin-off, and eventually my engineering friends will have to accept me.

I'm a believer that almost any game can be improved with violence. And this here is a great example.

Bridge Constructor is a nice little physics-based puzzle game, similar to World of Goo, but without an interesting presentation. The gameplay is almost the exact same with the difference of materials you build the bridges from. And then each map must pass one of the three tests, which act as difficulty levels in a way: you must let either regular cars, light trucks or heavy trucks pass the bridge you've built. My biggest gripe with the game is that when your bridge breaks and the cars fall, there are no explosions and burning people running around flailing their hands. They just kinda plop down with no reaction to the environment. Not even a splash when they fall into water.

It reminded me of a little shareware game I had as a kid called Truck Dismount, where the whole point of the game was to hit a guy with a truck in such a way that would cause him the maximum damage. Remembering that game immediately made me wanna drop Bridge Constructor and go play that game instead.

But it's pretty decent for what it is. The graphics are kinda generic, but I liked the colors. And the music is very nice and relaxing.

However, the PS Vita version is extremely unstable. I had it crash on me several times. The FPS dips significantly on the more complex maps, and the controls become less responsive. Due to these issues, the further I progressed in the game, the more frustrating the experience became.

Perhaps this game is much better on PC, I can't say. At the very least the controls must be. But I really see no point in picking it over World of Goo. If only it had violence, I could recommend it because it would've been fun to fuck up and see the consequences. But as it is, it's pretty forgettable.

İlk oynanılan zamanlarda yeni bir içerik olduğundan eğlenceli geliyor, ardından meh...

An enjoyable little physics puzzler. Great for helping kids think through physics and budgets.

Decent physics based puzzle game. Wore out its welcome and ended up being a little too long for my liking.

Why did I get this? It's exactly what you think an iOS game on Steam would be like.
