In what way does your game fit the theme?
*Bug has been discovered where pressing space while holding concrete freezes the editor
(also, make sure to play in fullscreen)

One single beam of wood alone isn't strong enough to make a successful bridge. The player must use the power of teamwork with multiple beams of wood and concrete to make a strong bridge that will carry a truck across the chasm!

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, and I am now very very tired.

Very nice. Fits the theme very well. I love the sound and visual feedback when a platform breaks. sadly there are some minor bugs and the physics could use a bit more polish imo. But for a weeks work this is impressive. 

Liked it a lot. 

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad yo liked it :D. Also, could you tell me what bugs specifically you encountered so I can fix them in the future?

There was the one you already wrote on the games page: the space key and the freezing editor. i got this a lot (perhaps because i played a lot of parkitect recently and tried to rotate with space) wich was annoying. Also In the first level the bridge could get lifted up a tiny bit by building under it and then the car colloides with the bridge from the side instead of driving onto it.  and the platform breaks instantly.

Developer

Thanks. I'll try and fix those

A unique take on the theme that when you see it, you think why hasn't anyone else thought of this. Had a blast with it, great job!

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!  :D

Good physics and the graphics are very good. I liked it. Although I might enjoy more help when placing the beams. As most of the time, I couldn't figure out which way they will fall.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Yeah, I would've liked to make it so the bridge wouldn't completely reset after every fail, but i couldn't get it working in time. That probably would've helped with the trial and error.

Original idea, fits the theme. Graphics are nice, but a bit thinner outline in the corners will be better. I had a lot of fun playing it, and audio is very good. Good job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! But I am confused, what outline are you referring to?

Submitted(+1)

Outlines of objects, they are a bit too big in the corners

Developer

Ok, thanks for the feedback

Submitted(+1)

The idea is good, and I had fun trying to play the game. But the bugs makes it difficult to play for very long.

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you had fun! Also, could you let me know what specific bugs you encountered so I can fix them in the future?

Submitted(+1)

Bugs I found:

- Can't click and move the objects. (And I am not sure it only was related to clicking the space bar issue).

- Was not always rotate the objects. (But that seemed to fix it self again)

Developer(+1)

Ok, thanks, I'll look into those.

I really love physics games like this so I'm already biased. Everything plays well but I guess I'm dumb because I couldn't even pass the first level. great work!

Edit: Oh my god I just realized half the game was cut out since I wasn't in full screen which is why I was stuck. Make sure to let players know of that so they can play it!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! And oh no, I didn't realize that! But thank you for letting me know, I will update the description. Also, did you end up finishing the game?

(+1)

Yeah! It was one of the only game jam games I actually finished

Developer

Awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed it :D

Submitted(+1)

Great game, having fun playing with it! 

Developer

Awesome!

Submitted(+1)

It's like Poly Bridge, but more rewarding, you feel good when you complete the level. Nice job!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

I like it - the music is weird but still pleasant and fitting, and the puzzles were tricky and felt rewarding to solve.

Developer

I made the music myself, so that should explain why :p

I'm just glad it's still pleasant! :D

Submitted(+1)

Nice SFX😏

the solution to this?

Here's a hint:

Don't be afraid to go airborne  : )

Developer

Nice!

This was really well done, bridge builders aren’t easy to pull off! I did hit (what I think was) a bug though where I was on the level with a big drop and three concrete beams, and I couldn’t click on them or move them after the first attempt. Besides that I had a great time making ramps and janky bridges, props on a great game.

Here’s my game if you’d like to give it a play.

Developer

Yeah, I've been hearing about that glitch, and I'll definitely look into it after the two weeks. But I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! The faces/sounds are my favorite too :D

This is going in my collections! Really great and fun game! This fits the theme in a very delightful and unique way! I love the art style and gameplay! It was fun to see the words, "Teamwork makes the dreamwork!!" haha great job! The art style was rly cute too! The SFX of the bridge dying is funny too. I felt bad for bridges at some points xD. The drag + drop system is something u gotta teach me. no rly. xD.


Keep up the great work!

Developer(+1)

I'm rlly glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for the help on the discord with the graphics tips and stuff  :D

Nice game very unique especially the faces on the planks. Good job!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted(+1)

wow, nice game bro , i like the implementation of the concept

Developer(+1)

Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

Controls are a littly flimsy But I like the idea

Developer

Cool! Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep that in mind if I end up updating

Submitted(+2)

Fun game & impressive physics. Adding faces to the parts  does make it better haha. One small bug -  if you accidentally click on the wooden bridge at the start, you can't pick anything up in the following level.

Developer

Thank you! And that's a very strange bug... I'll have to investigate

Submitted(+1)

very original comment for very original name

just kidding, but my bridges are all made with paper and explode with every ant that steps on them LOL

Developer

rip

Submitted(+1)

Love the concept. Really impressive that you made a working physics based bridge sim in a week. As the other comments I did find the pixel perfect placement a bit fiddley.  Controls are great & it is hard not to break them wooden planks. I kept trying to build ramps.

Developer

Thank you! Ikr, ramps are the best!
