  • monetization
    709 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay, often appearing after every level or failed attempt. Many players express frustration over the lack of an option to purchase an ad-free experience, with some noting that the game feels like a cash grab, especially when in-app purchases are required to unlock additional content or features. While some users acknowledge the need for ads in free games, the overwhelming frequency and length of these ads have led to a largely negative reception, with many stating that it detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.

    • “Good bridge builders are hard to find, and this is one of them. Good graphics, in-app purchases for cool stuff, and easy to play!”

    • “I expected to get a quality game, but got a poorly made cash grab instead.”

    • “You spend more time waiting for ads to finish than playing the levels.”
  • graphics
    144 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players praising the cartoonish art style and overall visual quality, describing them as "amazing" and "beautiful." However, some users report issues such as lag, poor optimization, and a need for smoother graphics, indicating that while the visuals are appealing, there is room for improvement in performance and realism. Overall, the graphics are generally well-received, but technical issues detract from the experience for some players.

    • “The graphics are the best I've seen in my lifetime.”
    • “The graphics and game mechanics are simply amazing and offer hours of fun gameplay!”
    • “This game is amazing, the graphics are insane.”
    • “Game did not adjust to the screen ratio and was very slow and laggy even though my phone has 3GB of RAM and can run heavier 3D games than this on high graphics.”
    • “Glitchy bad graphics... just a free knockoff version of the original bridge building game; it's a waste of time.”
    • “The game is good but graphics are so bad.”
  • gameplay
    57 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Some players note similarities to other games, particularly "Poly Bridge," and call for improvements in mechanics and optimization. Overall, while the gameplay has potential and is often described as enjoyable, the excessive advertising and occasional control issues detract from the overall experience.

    • “Fluid mechanics.”
    • “The graphics and game mechanics are simply amazing and offer hours of fun gameplay!”
    • “Awesome gameplay with amazing graphics and controls.”
    • “This game is fun but it is a complete rip-off of a game called Poly Bridge in every way; the art style is ripped off, the gameplay, and the physics aren't even that accurate.”
    • “-1 star because the ads are too intrusive; every other restart of a level I get a minimum of 15 seconds of ads, and that, my friends, isn't gameplay, it's adsplay.”
    • “Dull and boring gameplay, adverts constantly.”
  • humor
    42 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely praised, with players finding it consistently funny and enjoyable, particularly during moments of unexpected failure, such as bridge collapses and car crashes. Many reviews highlight the game's ability to combine humor with challenging gameplay, making it both entertaining and engaging. Overall, players appreciate the lightheartedness and comedic elements that enhance their gaming experience.

    • “ Very funny, and makes my brain work hard.”
    • “Hilarious results when building improperly on purpose.”
    • “Omg I love this game so much so funny and interesting.”
  • stability
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game has received mixed reviews, with many users reporting frequent freezing and glitches, particularly during ad displays and initial gameplay. While some players have noted that the game is enjoyable despite these issues, others have experienced significant interruptions that hinder their ability to play. Overall, the game appears to have several bugs that need addressing for a smoother experience.

    • “Good game, graphics are great, and the physics are impressive. No glitches found so far, and I even started to like this game even though I am a PUBG player.”
    • “Very good game, no glitches.”
    • “Amazing, not many ads and no glitches.”
    • “Every time it tries to show an ad, the game just freezes on a black screen.”
    • “Game glitches, and now I can no longer play it.”
    • “Whenever I start the game, it freezes and then quits.”
  • music
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding the background music relaxing and enjoyable, while others describe it as irritating and suggest it needs improvement. Additionally, the presence of ads that interrupt music playback has been a point of frustration for users. Overall, while some appreciate the main menu music, there are calls for enhancements or even the removal of certain tracks.

    • “I mostly like the game except the music.”
    • “Hope you remove any type of music.”
  • story
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is generally viewed as lacking depth, with many players finding the missions overly challenging and frustrating, often feeling that they are designed to push for in-game purchases. While some appreciate the cute graphics and fun missions, the excessive ads and slow progression detract from the overall experience, leading to mixed feelings about the narrative engagement.

    • “I like that there is plenty to do by going back for the missions.”
    • “Reminds me of some other good bridge games. I also like the fact that you can complete a bridge to unlock extra missions for that same mission, which gives the game far more challenge.”
    • “Very good game because it has physics and logic. All games have a story, but this one tells us about gravity.”
    • “Thanks for making this game, but it sucks sometimes. Your mission is impossible to complete with three stars. For my mission to build a bridge, I have to use only 4500 money or less. How can I build a bridge so long when the budget is too small? Please don't download this; it really sucks.”
    • “Just garbage, there are too many ads and then you need an excessive amount of coins because they give you the hard missions early on.”
    • “Game not good, basically all missions are almost impossible so they can get you to buy easy mode. You shouldn't have to pay money for easy mode; don't play this game, the developers are greedy.”
  • optimization
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with some players experiencing smooth gameplay while others report significant lag and poor performance, particularly on certain devices. Users have noted issues with controls and battery optimization, indicating that the game could benefit from further refinement to enhance overall performance.

    • “Runs smoothly.”
    • “Awful, slow, and an overall poor performance.”
    • “Horrible optimization; lags like mad on Snapdragon 625.”
    • “Slow performance.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, often leading to a loss of enjoyment. The repetitive nature of tasks, combined with frequent ads, contributes to a sense of monotony that detracts from the overall experience. Many users express that the initial fun quickly diminishes as the grind becomes overwhelming.

    • “The placement of materials was so tedious and time-consuming; I had to uninstall the game as soon as I realized that it would be less fun than frustrating.”
    • “It's kind of fun, but it gets pretty tedious after the first couple of levels, especially with ads every time you fail a level or start a new one.”
    • “Gameplay is tedious.”
  • emotional
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the game emotionally engaging due to its heart-touching graphics, but the experience is marred by intrusive ads and a frustrating interface, leading to dissatisfaction and a sense of loss as they progress. While the initial levels are enjoyable, the overwhelming presence of ads and paywalls detracts from the overall emotional connection to the game.
