Guide a solitary traveler through hand-drawn, impossible architecture. Collect keys, avoid hazards, and reach the exit door in each puzzle.
Rotate the environment to change gravity, turning walls into routes and sending the traveler and objects along new paths. You must study how each layout and its physics will respond to a turn.
The game includes 24 main puzzles that build on these ideas, with mechanics such as gravitational vortexes and parallel dimensions. Completing the main story unlocks mirrored versions of the puzzles, and a time-backtracking system lets you undo mistakes.
Reviewers often praise the striking hand-drawn art and the unusual gravity-rotation concept, which asks them to rethink space and can make solving a puzzle feel rewarding. Some also enjoy the surreal atmosphere. Criticism commonly focuses on uneven difficulty and puzzles that can demand precise timing or finicky physics; a few reviewers say the rotating screen causes discomfort.
The Bridge is a logic puzzle game that forces you to reevaluate your preconceptions of physics and perspective. It is Isaac Newton meets M. C. Escher. Manipulate gravity to redefine the ceiling as the floor while venturing through impossible architectures. Explore increasingly difficult worlds, each uniquely detailed and designed to leave you with a pronounced sense of intellectual accomplishment. The Bridge exemplifies games as an art form, with beautifully hand-drawn art in the style of a black-and-white lithograph.
48 thought-provoking puzzles, each unique from the rest, all requiring an innovative solution.
Gravity manipulations, gravitational vortexes, parallel dimensions, and many more mind-bending concepts in a world where the laws of physics are not what they seem.
M. C. Escher-esque worlds with impossible architecture set in the style of beautifully hand-drawn black-and-white lithographic art.
An alternate version of the game unlocked after the main storyline has been completed, including challenging alternate versions of each of the 24 main puzzles, along with an alternate ending.
A time-backtracking system to alleviate any fears of making a mistake.
