Gameplay
The objective of the game is to build bridges to allow vehicles to cross them. That is done via 2D bridge model by creating a blueprint, and working with the materials which are given at use. Poly Bridge has a campaign mode with a series of scenarios that require different things to accomplish and introduce certain geographic features. In each level (more than 100 overall), there are two requirements: the building cost must come in under budget and the bridge has to be strong enough for a specific number of cars.
There is also a sandbox mode that allows free building without restrictions, where the parameters can be set for creation. There is a variety of vehicles, ranging from motorcycles (fast and light) to dump trucks and cranes (slow and heavy). Since every vehicle has a different body and weight, that means longer cars may not be able to drive up steep slopes and the structure might need to adapt to the situation. The game also features obstacles such as jumps and boats, forcing the player to design their bridge creatively.
Reception
Poly Bridge received mixed to positive reviews from critics. On Metacritic, the game holds a score of 73/100 for the Windows version based on 7 reviews.
