Poly Bridge is an indie puzzle building-based game developed by Dry Cactus.
Gameplay
In Poly Bridge, the players have to build a bridge across a river. The bridge has to be strong enough for several vehicles to pass it, let alone the bridge has to hold its own weight.
The game does not disable physics after the player is finished with building up the bridge, as each vehicle present in the game has its own weight and length, so the player-built structure has to be adaptive in some cases. For example, long vehicles, such as cargo trucks, will not be able to ride on steep constructions, so the bridge has to adjust itself based on the weight of the vehicle.
There are also several obstacles for the player-built bridges present in the game, as sometimes a boat can spawn on the level and try to swim under the bridge. Storms are also a vital part of the gameplay, as the players have to also take into the amount the power of wind and adjust their creation as well.
The main catch of the game is that the players do not have unlimited resources, so they will have to make the best out the things at hand. Several types of materials are present in the game with each material having a certain amount of strength. The river gets wider and wider as the player progresses through the game, as well as the number of vehicles that have to pass the bridge for level completion.
Poly Bridge is a bridge-building simulation-puzzle game, developed by New Zealand–based indie studio Dry Cactus with music by Canadian composer Adrian Talens, where players build bridges for vehicles to cross. Poly Bridge was released for Microsoft Windows on July 12, 2016, iOS on June 13, 2017. Steel, wood, rope, and cable can be combined and used to strengthen a designed bridge and "hydraulics" are used to move pieces of the bridge. The game is made more difficult with the availability of different building materials of different prices. A sequel to the game titled Poly Bridge 2 was released on May 28, 2020 for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
