Was too short, but fun to destroy my bridges. And I saw Mario..
Reviews for "Viaduct Designer"
For those who are saying you like the bridge-building and think it's original, you should check out the Cargo Bridge series. It's even better since you don't have to restrict your bridge to a little grid and there are all kinds of cool level setups. The series has three installments I think.
A big problem I have with this game is that you have to build the same exact track every single level. There's no variation in how you make the horizontal bridge pieces that the train goes on. It's always just one two-tile piece after another all the way across. The game should just put those there automatically.
This game has obvious flaws. namely, perfectly legitimate Bridge designs are forced to fail because they are not "correct." I can understand misleading attachment points, but for me to use them to their fullest often requires more cash than I have on hand. All attachment points are utilized in every puzzle, and what constitutes a secure placement varies from level to level. Sloppy physics ruin this game, and seemingly variable rules drain any left over fun one would have left. A good puzzle game leaves you excited to solve the next puzzle, I began to feel dread, and that is not an emotion you want to espouse in alight hearted puzzle game. I want you to know that I really wanted to like this game; the music is fun, the premise is simple, the graphics are crisp and bold, (hell, I even liked the color scheme), and building bridges give the game an erector set feel. Creativity! But the a fore mentioned problems just killed it for me. Perhaps if you had some sort of shop or other mechanic where you could upgrade the materials you use to build the bridge, or be able to use a prefabricated piece to help build, this could be rectified. But perhaps it was me, and I was missing something obvious. In that case, a bit more exposition would be necessary in your tutorial.
Score 3/3
NOT BAD BUT COULD USE MORE STEAM
why did you make us sit through the train driving and outros for each level... why not just let us build bridges? how annoying and boring.
also... it's honk not beep. learn some english.
