hope this game hasn't been posted before :/
anyway this game is so godamn hard -_- im at work again so i've been entertaining myself with this but its so frustrating rofl
give it a go guys
i'm not even sure if it makes sense in terms of physics and whatever but im sure it can be beaten!
the aim of the game is kinda like lemmings, build a bridge across to the other side and help these fatass creatures get to the other side
DAMNED BRIDGE BUILDING GAME
|
woooow. Trying so hard to get the triangles perfect, and I always manage to screw up one or two
omg I didn't even notice that you move the screen to the right to see where the real finish is.
|
Hong Kong20321 Posts
i've managed to get the bridge to hold the whole way through but once the first little monster POS steps on the bridge falls apart -_______________-;;;
|
I got through first two levels putting triangles only under the main line (besides using the free connector given in the middle). Apparently upper support doesnt help much I guess.

oh wht the hell damn you i didnt think of that i've been trying for the past few hours lol oops
|
Hong Kong20321 Posts
actually i dont know what kind of genius method you're using but yeah i still can't do it with triangles under. i shall keep trying though lol. @_@
|
I've done the first two already. Just make simple triangles. Start off at the first dot, go as far right as possible on the green line, when its as far as possible click. then go as far up and in the middle and click, then connect it to the first one. At that point just click the top dot and go as far righ tas possible, and then connect that to the most far right dot on the green line. It makes a bunch of triangles and it has worked for the first two levels, with money left over. Something like this. x= starting o = ending _______________ x/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\o But make sure to connect the bottom of the triangles on the green line. If there are any weak spots that break / fall, just add a straight line going from the top of the triangle to the green line. If you have enough to do that all the way across, then nothing will break it.
Example: ________________ x/|\/|\/|\/|\/|\/|\/|\/|\o
Note: On the second level there are the orange dots. I connected those to my bridge with a triangle. Also, a lot of strain is put on the right side of the bridge so if you have enough money left over (I did, so should you) then make a design like this from the two orange dots on the SECOND lower island thing. o= orange dots. ;;; \/ ;;; | o/_\o Edits because TL ruined my pretty pictures T_T
Just beat 3rd one, same exact design, little guys will jump from second orange dot to 3rd orange dot so don't worry about building from tall island to small island. Also, no need to connect bridge to the first (or second if there is one) orange dot because the bridge is already strong enough. Note: At the end, you have a tiny space left over if you keep going full to the right each time, so either make the two last triangles smaller or do what I did and make a half triangle thingy. If you'd like a screenshot because you can't figure it out ill make a small bridge to demonstrate, gl.
|
lol i beat level 1 but the next two levels seem too hard
|
I completed level 1 and 3, 2 seems to be the hardest. I find for level 3 you need to create bridge that looks like a suspension bridge, think golden gate bridge where there is a high point which arches to the land, a suspension bridge.
|
This game is way frustrating until you figure out the triangles... then it's just trivial.

well it tells u that triangles are the best shape in the instructinos but i've been trying all sorts of triangle formations to no avail T__T

That's my level 1 with $400 left over.
|
dude fuck this game it's pissin me off
|
Concentrate's got the right idea. I had something like that only i added another layer of triangles in the center (bottom) and just had 1 giant traingle on top (instead of splitting it into 4 triangles). Mine worked but his works flawless i guess
|
lol, damn. I thought I had it... Then a dude walked onto it and it died. =( This game is awesome.

+ Show Spoiler [Finished Bridge, First level] +
The bridge hangs down a little and creaks a lot, but they make it across fine. If it falls somehow, just add a straight line going up from the first orange dot, and then right to the top of the first triangle, and then a line straight up fromt he last one, and then to the left to the top of the last triangle (as seen in picture)

Yeah, the top line with pass through it, when making like the 5th or something triangle, just make the longest line possible still and it will support the bridge. I'm not sure if you click the orange dot, and then make another line from the orange dot on if it will work.
Oh, I also wanted to add, MORE IS NOT BETTER. The more things you put ontop of the green line, the heavier the top of the bridge is, making the bridge fail more. If it has to be done do it, but try the minimum amount of pieces first, and then slowly add until you get it, or try something, and if it fails, remove it and try another thing.
|
is level 3 suppose to be passable T-T
|
did all 3 this was a fun game : ]
|
I did level 3 with some luck. The second part of level 3, you have to do a small triangles in a pyramid building towards that red dot at the top. Not sure how I got through the first part. The end of my bridge broke, but the little people were able to jump over the gap and make it.
|
2 was easy i had 5000$ left over too many anchors
|
Bridge 3 if anyone wants to see it done. + Show Spoiler +I don't remember having to add that weird house thingy the first time, but this time I couldn't get it to work without it.
|
Guide to first level without spoiler.
You have 3 anchor points. Two on either side, one in the middle.
First thing you do is build the main bridge. You just connect the two ends with the longest planks you can build. This is what your guys are going to walk along. The other structures are just supports. (this is what confused me first time round)
Then you want to re-enforce this structure. Seeing as we have an anchor at the top, you want to build upwards, so that the whole bridge has some support, but the middle which will be under the most stress will have the most support.
Try working with that (I dont wanna give away the answer because that just ruins the fun)
EDIT: Bugger, should of refreshed the thread before posting
|
Fun game, but this is basically a copy of the old game bridge builder. So pretty easy if you have played that.
|
I made all three levels with the same structure: triangles under the green line, then i connected the triangles.
|
It was easy cakes once I realized that the middle dot was an anchor point.
+ Show Spoiler +
Gonna start on bridge 2 o.O
Bah they give too much money for bridges 2 and 3!

Nice game, can remember the old original bridge builder game... Seems so that some guys improved the old game; If you like the browser game be sure to check this out (needs to be installed on your pc): www.crypticsea.com (it's on the bottom of the page)
|
sandbox mode is fun, we should compete who could create the most insane bridge :p

The old original bridge builder game was Pontiflex. Try that guys. It's a lot more complex, but also has tons of levels. 
Edit:
Seems these guys got a few more games since then (with bridge building) but none are free.

Edit: also rofl at this:
Engineering at its best imo.

managed to get passed one and two but havent tried 3
|
Was fun, too bad it only has 3 levels. I've always used the islands to place a ground support though. reminds me of armadillo run

hahahaha yeah. The goal is to get the train to the other side, not to build a stable bridge^^

I did level 2 without using any of the anchors exept the start and finnish and I that bridge worked on the first try, these levels are too easy tbh.
|
beat the third level with 3800$ left
|
This build beats the second level with 5300 left without using any of the anchors except the first and last.
|
lol its fun putting wheels all over the place then trying to get it to work + Show Spoiler +i could play this thing all night

second level with 6400$ left:
thought i had a cool style on this one
EDIT:+ Show Spoiler +
6400$ left with these changes.

Weiss truss ftw.
Thank you engineering & design.

I have played it all night I've played the shit out of that game, but haven't yet paid the $10 for the bonus levels.
|
got lvl 3 with 6200 left i'd like to see if anyone can beat that <3
|
mines da best!
now i shall get the best score on the other ones as well!
|
I found level 3 the easiest actually. Just use the basic design from 1 for both parts of 3, no need to complicate things and use anchor points.

And i seriously doubt that you beat any of the 4 last levels, they are very very hard. I have beaten all maps up to 16 though, then they become just evil were you have to build multi launch contraptions or the tube were you have to build one that scales or launches the thing straight up roughyl a screen.

highly based off of yours, just improved supports in the mid section
i think a redesign can make it possible for 6.6 or 6.7 but im lazy to actually come up with designs (except my jumping bridge in lvl 3)
actually i don't see how you got 6400 my supports use up 4 less and my last one uses up only one..ill have to recount edit: nvm didn't see your spoiler'd pics it's basically identical to your spoiler pics except for the 2nd support

how do you beat "big ball"
im stuck lol
|
something i have noticed on the first bridge is that if you make the bridge base out of even-length pieces it works better. For example on the first one, if you use 10-sizes (the "default" size, the max) the last piece will be 6 long and will be very weak, because there's 96 squares there, not 100 or 90. If you use 8-lengths you'll get better results with 12 8lengths than 9 10s and 1 6.

lol im really bad. All my contraptions were godawful. Let me see if i can make a lifter o.O
actually lets try a launcher. It seems hard to lift that thing cus of the slope :-

ok i'm done (& bored) i did level1 with 2800 without spending too much time trying to cut costs. 3000 is probably possible
so we have
lvl 1 - 2800 lvl 2 - 6500 lvl 3 - 6200

Add &detectflash=false to the end of whatever you want to do on that website.
The first time I beat Big Ball I sent a cart up on top of the ball that pushed it from above and then the goal fell in from above, but the lifters / catapults that are linked from here are much better.
Half the fun is dogging through it before you look at the solutions. It's great seeing how convoluted my solutions were compared to others' solutions, especially on Timing.

omg im playing that fantastic contrpation thing -_-
stuck on Big BALL FUDSFJC FARGGG

That Trial and Error one was amazing. I keep putting together the same sort of things without creativity.
|
oh jesus christ. The last level is rediculous. I spent like 3 hrs on that damn lvl. Tried 4 different approaches.
I think I give up too fast when it gets frustrating. If I stayed with one method, I might have got it by now lol. I will try again tomorrow.
edit: fuck. I was doing the catapult all wrong. Connected all the lines to a single wheel -_-. No wonder it was so damn waek, couldnt even throw the small ball + stopper

This is basically what my bridge looked like for all 3 levels. Fun game, but would be cool is there were more levels or user created ones.
I was worried that the fall in level 3 would put massive strain on the bridge where they landed, but it didn't seem to put any more stress then just normal walking guys.
[e]FC is a lot of fun too, though compared to some of the designs out there my solutions were pretty boring.

you can build a ramp that blocks the balls, and then go over it. Or you can throw the ball. Also, if you put a "nose" on the digger, it goes faster.
