Poly Bridge by indie game developers Dry Cactus is a simulation-based bridge builder in which the player must construct a bridge stable enough to transport a number of vehicles to the other side. You can select from a variety of different materials such as wood, steel, cable, and hydraulic pistons and then construct your bridge on a 2D dotted plane. You need to take into account the weight of the various vehicles, the max joint stress of different parts of your bridge, your budget for the map, and any incoming ships which you will either need to avoid entirely or accommodate for."
A listing on the Nintendo eShop reveals that the indie bridge-building physics game Poly Bridge will be available on Nintendo Switch in North America and Europe on December 14, 2017 for $14.99.
HPP: Poly Bridge works as two different types of games. On one hand, it’s an unassuming and adorable puzzle game filled with pleasant music and a charming aesthetic. The other game I like to call “Tiny-miner-man-on-a-moped death simulator.” No matter how I look at it, Poly Bridge was a fun challenge wrapped in a package that’s far more exciting than the premise lets on.
Engineers must have it pretty rough. Sure, the paychecks are fine and the bragging rights aren't bad, but what about all those lives that hang in the balance?
