You'll encounter gaps with various widths. If you create a short one, your character will fall, and you'll have to start over. You should pay attention to create a bridge that would match the size of the gap. Press and hold the left mouse button to build a bridge, and release the button to stop. Your character will walk on their own, but they'll stop once they reach a gap between the platforms. There is just one infinite level, and you'll try to reach as far as you can. Your objective in this game is to build as many bridges as you can. You may look like a child's drawing with your big circle-shaped head and body made of straight lines, but that doesn't change the fact that you are a hardworking character. The city skyline decorates the background while you start working. You're the best worker around, and it's your job to start the construction. The result is cutscenes that begin a little dull and ultimately start to grate on your nerves, so you just skip them instead.In Stickman Bridge Constructor, take control of the stick figure character once again! Grab your hammer, and wear your hard hat because the duty calls! With the rise of the population, residents need new roads and bridges to expand the city. That might be fitting, but it’s impossible to take seriously because it is far too over the top. Whilst most of the characters, including Daryl and Michonne from the show, are forgettable at best, Eugene – also from the show – comes across as someone with a thesaurus pretending to be clever. The story itself isn’t anything worth paying attention to beyond the setup for the level you’re about to complete, but the dialogue is difficult to even bare. The music is a bit dull too, to the point where I eventually turned it off and played my own songs in the background. The cartoon aesthetic makes it looks like any one of a hundred mobile games, though it’s admittedly one of the better looking examples of this. Unfortunately, the rest of the game feels a bit bland. These include things like shooting Daryl’s crossbow at a zombie to knock it into a platform which then breaks, releasing a barrel that rolls towards a character, who is already running and gets over the hump in my bridge just in time for the barrel to bounce off it, over him, and into the small group of walkers that were inches away from a delicious meal. It’s moments like these, where the combined efforts of multiple characters have been carefully timed and your constructions are finely tuned, that Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead shines. You’ll often have multiple characters doing different things at the same time or, more likely, at carefully staggered times to enable what can only be described as a comedy of successes. Each character has particular abilities, such as Daryl being able to shoot his crossbow, and this offers yet more opportunities for challenging puzzles. The group mechanics are particularly interesting. Where BCTWD differs from the series’ norm, however, is that you have a small group of characters to guide through the levels, and the walkers that are everywhere. One level you might be dropping a container on some walkers, the next you could be collecting petrol for a car, or building an actual bridge for that car to cross a canyon like it’s classic Bridge Constructor. There’s a few control niggles, but nothing so bad that you can’t learn to live with in ten minutes as you get to experience some surprisingly varied puzzles. Not meeting those requirements won’t stop you progressing, but might stop you from bragging about it. You can also aim for more than mere survival and try to ace each level, ensuring you don’t use too many materials and go over the maximum cost for them. That’s just part of your process, of course! Once you’ve fixed things up a bit, your characters make it to the other side and you move on to the next level. Then you press play and it falls apart under the weight of your stare and you realise you need to redo it all. The building is simple enough, using anchor points as a foundation and building up supports for your path until it looks solid. You have a side-on view of a gap or hole that your characters need to get across and a selection of materials with which to build. The Bridge Constructor side of the game is exactly as you would expect if you have any experience with the series or genre.
