It’s rated 12+ and currently has 25,867+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Build a Bridge! Stand Out
Build a Bridge! is a complex yet approachable physics-based puzzle game. It tasks the player with creating more and more elaborate bridges across multiple levels. You will have to choose the proper materials, using creativity and logic to stay within required budget and create a strong construction.
During the planning phase the game presents itself with a simple, 2D interface. It is there that you select the best materials for your bridge and connect the dots to make the most resilient structure you can. You can approach each level as a complex puzzle, trying to be as efficient as possible and get the best solution. But don't be afraid to experiment too. You can just go crazy and construct something that looks outrageous but still somehow works. There's fun in both of these approaches.
When you're done, switch to the 3D mode and watch a car drive through your bridge. Will it hold? Or will you watch a spectacular crash?
In addition to the normal mode the game features the easy mode for more relaxed gameplayed, focused on creativity and improvisation. You can also use in-game hint system if things get too hard. With 86 levels to construct you will not run out of things to do quickly.
Game features:
- Different materials to build from – Wood, Metal, Cables
- 86 levels of increasingly difficult puzzles
- Varied, detailed environments full of interactive elements
- Multiple cars to test out your constructions
- Realistic physics engine
- Beautiful, stylised art style
- Available in 13 languages
This Simulation game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
We have played this game before and got to level 15, but we understand us young us deleted this game. We tried playing it again, but we kept getting so many ads.
The game is really good but whenever we lose there is an ad.
Its so amazing and when we just started we were bad but when we progressed we learned from our mistakes but it helps us with our boredom when Im bored.
So it is fun and cool nice little game if you want to do some bridge building we know there might be some better games than this but its quite good plus this game is going to help us in 8th grade for STEM class sense we do a lot of building with bridges so ya, if all of yall want to be rude and hateful saying : this is THE worst game in the world HUMF then do that. Us we like it also we know, ya, there are a lot of ads but its free so to us it makes sense developers we got a game once that a ad every one second no joke lol, good job developers have a great day.
The game mechanics and the controls is really good the game has great audio and the tutorial is fast and easy to understand (it seriously a 10 second tutorial). OK now for the bad stuff. The ads there, even though theyre selling a bit of information to add companies and Facebook and all that but there is a good thing to this privacy thing its only two clicks to show exactly what they are Its not in a long paragraph. Its an list and theres also a list for which company theyre selling this information to (which almost no company does) just because of that its comforting that you know what theyre doing some of the stuff that they are selling they cant wait attention Google login and Google fire pass everything else was non-useful. But yeah, its a really good game. We recommend it.
Hello to everyone and the devs we really love this game and how challenging it is to us but we do have a suggestion. Maybe a sandbox mode would be cool where you can build whatever you want over whatever distance.
This game is so fun and addicting and change in but MORE LEVELS PLEASE.
Needs to be more games like this! We would like to see more.
A exciting game it would be better if no ads and if the levels were easier but its still a super exiting fun game.
Just saying can you make it where you dont need a tutorial just let us do our thing its called build a bridge for a reason but its a little fun.
Game is very addictive and fun but it has forced adds.
The game is fun, no ads, challenging. The issue is that it seems to crash upon launch sometimes.
Love the game, but the ads will be the reason we will delete the game. We cant fully lock in to the game with the amount of ad time. It truly takes away from a fun experience. We play games to get away from the world for a short period of time. That period of time is always interrupted with ads. If we could pay for zero ads we would. It has the potential to be our favorite game, but soon this app will be unloaded from our device.
Dont let the game get in the way of you watching your ads. Its bad enough they stole somebody elses game colored the graphics a little differently, but its so obvious that the ads are more important than the game when they cut into the middle of your build, to run an ad. Youll be trying to dial in your build with a precision placement and poof you no longer in the game youre watching the ad. We dont walk in to their bedroom while their having fun. Clip a leash on your dog and taking him for a walk.
This game is very fun but the tutorial was very long and annoying and we already know how to play but the tutorial was so long it just wasnt fun.
Our back bone evperience os amazing but we wish it had rumble.
We just started using this game. It is actually addicting, especially when you want to get to the next level but your bridge keeps collapsing. Great concept, though. If you need something to pass the time while youre waiting, this game is it.
Way way too many adds, adds on the Home Screen, adds on the game side walls, and pop up adds every 4 games. How ridiculous!!! We just close the app and open it back up when we get pop ups.. YOU SHOULD DO THR SAME.
Fun game but not worth constant ads after every attempt, let alone every level. Having to exit out of each ad 3 times adds to the frustration.
We like how it gets more and more challenging throughout the game.and how you can get a hint if needed.
We used to play it when we were like 5 and we just want to say this game is amazing we wish there could be a few updates like new levels.
We know there is grass and dessert and ice but can you like add candy and like city and more elements like glass and you cqn probaly add a landscapeing tool like in astroneer and a joint tool Four stars.
This game is not that bad for a off brand poly bridge game but it does a pretty decent job at making enjoyable to play.
We played this on pc and enjoyed it but on mobile its a mess with terrible feed back and way too many forced ads.
30 levels but a bunch of paid addons isnt that great but love the game.
The amount of bridge building in this ad watch simulator is staggering. The game seems genuinely entertaining like 30 min into it, but youre either forced to shell out the three bucks to kill the ads or watch as they drain your soul. Maybe youre into that sort of thing though. We wont judge.
The game works pretty well and the challenges are interesting, but being locked into a 30 second ad every second build attempt makes it basically unplayable.
Too many ads. Ridiculous. Might as well watch a couple hours of regular television. You will see less ads.
Uninstalled by level 5. First few levels go smoothly, and its a fun premise, but the ads suddenly appear after that. They are extremely invasive and are WAY over the top. We understand how ads work, but WOW who approved this strategy? Note to devs: this isnt the right way to get people to buy your app.
We did the tutorial but nothing opened up beyond that for us. We watched several ads but nothing.
Its polybridge and its literally the game style and everything.
Whenever we finish a level, whether its with 3 or 2 stars, we dont actually get the stars and we cant keep going.
Ive had the game for years Ive completely mastered the game 100% on everything and we still go back to redo the levels differently. Its challenging at times but its worth the effort. Its such an entertaining game.
Its a great game but sometimes it just doesnt open :/.
Yea its good and but it tells you what to do through 6 or 7 levels.
We really enjoy the game at the beginning, but like after 2-4 weeks its start to kick us out of the game. Its like 0.000000001 seconds of the game and then its kick out. We want to reload the game, but its dont shows like we were in game. Please fix that and we will give you 5 stars.
We made it to level 14 and for some reason when the cars went over the bridge that works they keep going until they reach the end of the road and fall into the void. It is a fun a challenging game but please fix this.
It works for a day, then wont open again the next day unless we uninstall it and reinstall it. We love the game so far but this is infuriating. Please fix this horrible bug.
Good game but the constant ads with 3 different phases make this game unplayable. You get an ad which is fine, but there is no option to click out of it for 30 seconds. Then when the X does appear it brings up another screen with another ad for the same game. Then finally the next X appears, and when you click on that you are greeted with a screen asking if you want to download the game. Then you have to wait another 5 seconds to click the final X allowing you to go back to your game. So sick of this crap.
Played for 15 min and closed out of it and tried it and just takes us back to our Home Screen click again and same thing.
We were peacefully playing and around level 12 our game crashed and we couldnt reopen it we turned our phone off and it still wont open we restarted our phone still nothing. We dont wont to delete it do to the progress we made.
Crash.need restrart phone to open.
For your a game that we payed having ads is not ideal.
THIS IS FAKE POLY BRIDGE, they need sandbox mode too and this game has literally like nothing to do, you don't have springs and all these other things like u do on poly bridge.
Intriguing but too many commercials that are long and drawn out.
It is a Good Game but after a while the game started kicking us out when we tried to start it and it wont fix.
Game wont let us get pass the first level.
When we try to open it it shows a black screen for like 2 milliseconds then closes.
Tone it down a bit folks. We get you need to make money on ads, but holy moly.
