A thoroughly enjoyable physics based puzzle game. 100+ official puzzles and a workshop integrated sandbox mode makes sure you'll never run out out of challenges.

A fantastic little physics puzzler. Get to pretend I am an engineer and build bridges that barely stand up.

Great game i love it

awesome game will keep you busy for a while

I know what's on your mind you want to be an engineer and you bought this game to feel good about yourself.
money well spent.

Great if you want to feel really dumb.

Why on earth am I going to school for civil engineering when I could have just bought this for so many thousands of times cheaper?

I bought this game for my son, its a wonderfuly educational but fun way to learn about applied physics, you build the bridge/ramp/lift what ever and run the simulation to see if it works, couple that with the leveling up part of the game and its rather intriguing, or if your more of a free spirit you can do the sand box mode and make problems for yourself to solve, not only do you see if the bridge works but you can also see the stress points and work on and improve upon your design, and remember as my seven year old now says "triangles are your friends" lol

EDIT: After talking with the devs here on Steam about bugs and suggestions, I now feel that this game has one of the best, most friendly developing teams around. It's so great to see the developers take a real interest in what the players have to say, and it makes me feel like I'm being a part of the development myself. Definitely worth supporting to help an awesome team make a great game!

---Original Review---
Though it's still Early Access, Poly Bridge offers a fun and unique enough experience to make up for the bugs. And yes, there are quite a few bugs. Here's a nice pros/cons list to look at:

• Nice cartoonish graphics
  
• Fun gameplay
  
• Fairly realistic physics
  
• Gif sharing
  
• Level creator

• Bugs in level creator
  
• Gifs get cut off in longer levels
  
• A few minor glitches in campaign

The gameplay is very fun, and I love the fact that there is no single "correct" solution. This game not only allows creativity, but it actually requires creativity because there are no guidelines at all, just some materials that you can use and a budget you can't go over. Overall, I would say that Poly Bridge is definitely a game that's worth supporting, and it's one to look out for once it gets fully released. As an Early Access game, I recommend it with a warning that you will be dealing with some bugs and glitches, mostly in the sandbox mode (level creator). The gameplay is very fun and extremely addicting, and there are already quite a few player-made maps available on the Steam workshop that add to the fun. The level creator itself is fairly easy to use, but the bugs make it very difficult to actually make a complete level. To be honest, I've spent most of my time in-game fighting with the level creator because it's just so damn fun to use, but it frequently locks up and I have to restart the game, and sometimes it won't save the level I'm working on. So if you can deal with a few bugs and want to support a really fun game, go ahead and grab it, but if you want a fully polished game with no glitches, skip the Early Access and wait until it's fully released.

PS - the one thing that drew me to this game the most is the integrated .gif creator. After every level, you have the option of sharing a .gif replay, which is a ton of fun. The only problem with the .gif creator is that it has an undisclosed time limit on your replays, so it will frequently cut off the early section of the replay. To fix that, just hit "try again" and then finish the level on a higher speed.
