Fun and addictive bridge building game

Bridge Constructor Free is a fun puzzle game where the aim is to build bridges. It’s the original game that inspired Bridge Constructor Playground and is the free version of Bridge Constructor. Bridge Constructor is very similar to the sequel. There are 30 levels requiring you to build bridges over various obstacles such as deep valleys, canals and rivers. They are then exposed to stress tests to see whether they can support the weight of the cars and trucks that drive across them.

Single and multiplayer modes

As mentioned, Bridge Constructor is the original game that inspired Bridge Constructor Playground. Unlike the sequel however, Bridge Constructor Free is tougher and it doesn’t have an extensive tutorial although it’s not too hard to figure out how to play. It’s tougher though because you have a fixed budget and limit on building materials which means you have to be really prudent with how you build your bridges. As you progress you win badges, with five badges in all to collect, which becomes increasingly difficult as the loads increase.\n

Unlike Bridge Constructor Playground which you can play against a friend, Bridge Constructor Free only has a single player mode. However, it’s more challenging than Bridge Constructor Playground because there are budget and material constraints. The scenery and backdrops are similar however ranging from City and Canyons to Beach, Mountains and Rolling Hills. Beyond this, you can even unlock hidden worlds and levels.

Use 4 different materials

You have four different building materials to work with: wood, steel, steel cable, and concrete piles which display their stress load tolerance so you know which ones to choose depending on the challenge. There are two different stress levels: car and truck and a high score award per level.

Basic graphics and sound but addictive gameplay

The graphics and sound in Bridge Constructor Free are basic but this is forgiven because of the addictive gameplay which pushes you to the limit in finding a way of constructing durable bridges that can withstand any load. The most annoying thing however about Bridge Constructor Free is that it does seem to crash a lot.

Conclusion

Bridge Constructor Free is overall a fun and challenging game which definitely gets addictive the more you play it.
