It was at this point that I found the tutorial of the game a bit lacking. Gradually the game gets more challenging and suddenly you come across a level that is really challenging. A nice overview at the end of a levelīut ok, we’ll try to ignore the cheatboard, and focus on the fun part of the game. With a leaderboard that is dominated with cheated scores, the game really loses a lot of its potential value. Games such as Poly Bridge can be really fun if you find that unique tweak that places you in the top 1000. I don’t get it, why are developers making leaderboards but don’t care if people cheat to get on number one? And this goes specially for Dry Cactus, because their website has a gallery where you see the cheated solutions!Ĭlearly, leaderboards don’t work, they didn’t work in Hitman, they don’t work in Poly Bridge. The provided solutions were clearly cheated with 0$ budget and unbreakable bridges. And then it came back the reason why I hate current leaderboards. This is a nice feature, so I went and looked at my level to see how other people did it. Lucky for me, Dry Cactus has a gallery where you can see solutions for every level in the game. Ok, perhaps I’m not as good as I thought, so I went online to find a solution. But whatever I try, I could not reach a top 1000 place. So thanks to my confidence that I could to better, I started tweaking my bridge, lowering the budget, doing whatever I can to get higher. I’ve noticed that I was in the 15 thousand-ish place. Then you notice the leaderboard, and with that comes my first remark of the game. Once you finish a level, you get a nice overview on how your budget, joints stress and material footprint (nice touch that last one). The first few levels are easy, building up your confidence that you can do this. Nice job Dry Cactus! The tracing tool in actionĪnd then the real game begins. Normally you start with placing to road piece after piece, here you can use the tracing tool. This definitely speeds up to the boring part of bridge building games. That is a useful tool to quickly make a shape (Line, parabola) according to a pre-drawn line. A bit further in the tutorial, and you’ll learn how to make drawbridges and how to use the tracing tool. Plan the road, place the wooden or steel support and hope your bridge is strong enough for the passing cars. Here you learn the basics of building a bridge. When you start Poly Bridge, you get dropped immediately in the tutorial. But will it be my next favorite quick game? So, I have had the pleasure to play this bridge builder with a twist. If you have to wait 30 minutes before the food is cooked or so, short quick games are ideal to play. I like to play quick games in quiet moments. We have recently received a review copy of Poly Bridge.
