Bridge It + Reviews

Good for a couple of hours of fun, very much THE classic bridge building game.

Bridge It+ ... a physics based construction game where the object is to span distances using different materials. You begin the game with only iron then steel.. as you progress through the levels you gain access/unlock more building materials allowing you to span greater distances etc... graphics and lighting are descent in this game, and can be altered without "waiting for time to change". Features such as stress / load / environmental tests are fun to play with. Triggering a 7.0 earthquake for example is a fun way to usually watch your creation decimated in a split second ιllιlı. My experience was over-all o.k.. I had some issues with controls/getting click features to respond accurately while building which slowed down the pace of the game. I don't see much activity regarding updates/patches, and the last "news" on the STEAM HUB was posted in NOV2013. I recommend this game for casual play if you just want to mess around with another "physics/construction" game ... BUT at @ half the price it is currently listed for on the Steam store. http://store.steampowered.com/app/248370

It runs fast, and didn't crash. But that's as far as the positives go. It's basically a more "realistic" looking version of Polybridge, but with fewer and generally worse levels. There are less variety, less freedom, the controls are worse... And about the graphics, actually, even in 1440p they still look super pixelated and strange. It can be a mildly entertaining distraction, but there is no reason to ever get this instance of a bridge building game when better alternatives exist here on Steam.

easy levels are easy, medium levels get you thinking for the next stage, hard levels get hard fast, complex levels are impossible if you don't have a proper intuition of how the mechanics of the game and structures work. I remember back in 2004, when I was 8 years old, i downloaded this demo... bridge construction set, which I eventually bought in 2008. This game is a continuation of that game. I recognized several levels. however, it still is full of proper challenges without resorting to weird non-realistic structures, unlike other bridge builders, like for example "Bridge Constructor" (which I regret buying). I don't know if it's nostalgia, but for 7$ it's more than worth it. It will make you think and will help you appreciate the nuances of structural design, even if just as an introduction to it. Parents, buy this game if you think you have a future engineer in your hands.

It's a fun bridge building game and I find it as the best of Steam in that category. There isn't really a whole lot to say. This game is a pretty traditional and well made bridge builder overall. It has a finished touch with a good user interface and alright graphics. Physics are mostly as they should be, although a few times some trucks fell through the road, but on the other hand those bridges were a bit crazy design anyway. There are some basic levels and then there are challenging ones. Level design can get almost surprisingly clever in some levels. I have a kind of long history with bridge building games and I know when I see a good one. If you have too, Bridge It would be an excellent purchase.

When I play a game I want it to make me work for every milestone in it. If a game has to give you an achievement every five seconds to keep you playing it then it is not worth your time. That is what I love about this game. It starts you in some fairly simple levels where you can get to grips with the controls. Then in the harder stages of the game it takes more and more thought to make a bridge that is under budget and that looks nice. In the world of bridge building simulators this one stands out for it is not like some that have levels that take a few seconds and you're done. You actually have to plan out how each bridge is going to deliver the vehicle "safely" to the other sides. Some require a lot of out of the box plans, but they leave you with a great feeling of success after making the bridge work. It was one of my first buys on steam and gave me hours of enjoyment.

there is more than one way to build a bridge. However this game disagrees, the simulator physics engine is extremely over sensitive and doesn't give you much in build options or flexability . Lets make an example you could be making a bridge to go over a small stream where in real life ive seen natives in Africa make stronger bridges out of bamboo however apparently solid iron buckles like tooth picks under no strain whats so ever. If your looking for a game of multiple unique ways of creating bridges this isnt the game theres only 1 right way to do it per level .

For the price it would be nice to have a bit more content. The higher levels are goofy, not at all realistic for a physics type game. Having a bridge that is only connected on one side of a ravine is realistic where again? I liked the challenge of the first bunch of levels but then you get to the hard levels and all you can do is scratch your head because it's way out there. If I were eligible for a refund, I'd ask for it, game was NOT worth my money.

This game is initially quite interesting and fun to play. The easy mode is just that - easy. More like an extended tutorial really. Once you hit medium and hard the challange starts. Build a bridge with a limmited set of parts, on a budget. Have the bridge survive trains, or cars, or earthquakes. Some even have to open hydraulicly for steamboats to pass. Pretty cool to make a bridge on budget, and holds up the train, just to get torn down by the shipping. Where the game starts to fall short is that once played, there is no reset to start over once a bridge is built in a specific challenge, and there are only about 24 challenges in total. I played most in about 3 hours. Further, many of the hardest challenges are indeed not possible to complete as you are tasked to construct a bridge that does not connect to land on one or both sides, and the test vehicle, usually a train, just nose dives off the cliff and the simulation fails. I don't believe these were play tested in advance. Also, you can not build past the budget, and then reduce the design, once you are out of money, no further experiments can be made. Would be a really good $2 or $5 game, but for $19.99 I expected much more.

Don't let the word "simulation" fool you, this is a very clean, pretty, easy to master, yet very challenging puzzle game. I bought it on a whim and regret nothing. While the game may not be visually stunning or incredibly detailed in simulation, this streamlined design ends up working incredibly well for setting the stage for creative problem solving. There is no right or wrong way to complete a level. In fact, every level is open-ended, although it never feels like I'm at a loss for what to do due to a very good difficulty curve, yet at the same time increasingly challenging requirements. Levels are bite-sized, so the game could easily be enjoyed during a short break, and toward higher difficulties requirements and resources tend to vary more and more ensuring that there is no collapse to a single working design. This is not the most graphically gorgeous game, nor does it provide the most extensive simulation, but neither is really needed to properly exercise the brain in the regions other than the overstimulated run/aim/shoot reflexes. And should your destructive needs be overwhelming, there is nothing like collapsing an enormous steel and iron structure, watching the passenger train on top of it plummet to its doom. Well worth the sale price, runs on pretty much any computer, and is a great amount of fun.
