If your bridges are always falling it's because you are trying to make connections mid-span. If you try to connect one piece to another anywhere other than end to end the joint will just fail. For example if you were to make an "A" it must be made out of 5 pieces and not 3 because if you do it with 3 the cross bar will be connected to the two legs mid-span and it will fall apart.

heh, noobs, i make multiplatform bridges....i might post it on youtube a tutorial of what im talking about, soeey about my english i cant really brain today

Level 3 with 2300 left over... it completely falls apart but everyone makes it over. I challenge anyone to beat that.

I'm rarely harsh in my ratings and critiques, but this one deserves the 1/5 it's getting from me. Your tutorial doesn't explain things clearly enough. You say that triangles build the strongest bridge... I've had complex webs of bridges fall under their own weight for no reason... and yes, I'm using the anchor points. It's as if conjoined pieces say "SCREW IT!" as soon as you hit T and throw themselves into the pit. I've managed to make the first two bridges work. Both times I've set up structurally sound bridge designs and the thing doesn't even last long enough for someone to touch it. Both times I've managed to pass it, it's been a single steel bridge with single support beams coming straight down from the anchors.
Fix it, please. This could be a fun game.

Money Left:
1-1000
2-1100
3-1700
4-1400
5-6000
6-2800
7-6600
8-12400
NOTE: If a joint is added mid span then it will fail easily. All joints must be end to end. (in fact I am not sure that a joint exists at all if it is mid span because they just fall apart)

The physics need quite a bit of work, or at least the way the game views joints. Build a model bridge out of glue and balsa then stress test it, you'll see that it rarely breaks at the joint. In this game, joints fall apart as if they're held together with masking tape.
3/5. Great idea, but needs work.

Wow.. these bridges are just like -
I can't believe this works-
and then they do. Weirdest bridges I've built in a game lol

add a tutorial or something, i cant get the bridgr right, but some people seem 2 be able... i wont rate it till i can play it correct ;)

Just lurve this game, great idea and great fun - seems harder than the previous one though - I sacrificed many little people in the name of progress :)

its okay.. lol completed the game which took some time.. kinda needed a lot of supporting beams. well anyway great game lol.

Triangles apparently aren't key in this game, as they would be in real life. A wood bridge made with triangles is worse then a wood bridge with only ONE supporting steel beam :/

It keeps resetting to wood, and since the beams look identical in build mode, I build an entire bridge out of wood and it collapses on me! What the hell! I picked steel, stay on steel! If they could look different in build mode, that would be nice, too.

Whew... beaten level 8 (had to use steel though, but on limited money)...
A little hint - shorter pieces seem to be weaker than longer pieces (they were when I was playing :D)...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
its an alright game but i think you should get more money but stricter laws of physics should apply plus badges would totally work 3/5

great game makes you think - and yes they are all possible. Dont see the point in Sandbox though - where the challenge??

Holy crap, someone else who knows Bridge Builder?
This is pretty fun, but it would be nice to have proof that you beat a level.

I have posted on my profile a solution for level 3; 1500 $ left. To those not familiar with this kind of game an idea on how to create 'good' bridges.
I played Bridge Builder and the like...

actually, your problem, kinetics, is that you nid "symetrical" triangles to support your bridge, try to branch out from the support as much as possible as well. ( Finished last mission without steel and no sandbox )
