About

"Build a Bridge!" is a physics-based puzzle game that challenges players to construct increasingly complex bridges while staying within budget. The 2D planning phase allows for creative and logical design, while the 3D mode lets you see your bridge in action, with the satisfaction of a job well done in watching a car drive across it . In addition to the standard mode, there's also an easy mode for a more relaxed experience.

    709 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

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.

Overall, the graphics are generally well-received, but technical issues detract from the experience for some players.

    • β€œThe graphics and game mechanics are simply amazing and offer hours of fun gameplay!”
    • β€œThis game is amazing, the graphics are insane.”

    • β€œGlitchy bad graphics... just a free knockoff version of the original bridge building game; it's a waste of time.”
    • β€œThe game is good but graphics are so bad.”

    • β€œAwesome gameplay with amazing graphics and controls.”
    • β€œThis 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.”
    • β€œ-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.”
    • β€œDull and boring gameplay, adverts constantly.”
  • humor
    42 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

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.

  • 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.

    • β€œI like that there is plenty to do by going back for the missions.”
    • β€œReminds 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.”
    • β€œVery good game because it has physics and logic. All games have a story, but this one tells us about gravity.”
    • β€œThanks 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.”
    • β€œJust garbage, there are too many ads and then you need an excessive amount of coins because they give you the hard missions early on.”
    • β€œGame 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.”

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.

    • β€œThe 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.”
