Paper Bridge - Player's Guide

IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU GO THROUGH THE IN-GAME TUTORIAL, AVAILABLE FROM THE BOOK SELECTION MENU

IMPORTANT: You need to use 2 fingers to move around and zoom in/out during the game.

How to Play

Your aim is to help the vehicles cross to the other side of the road in each level.
The user-interface has 4 corner buttons:

To draw parts of the bridges, open up the Brushes Menu:

You'll need to start with the black brush to draw a connecting road from left to right.

You can then select the green brush and draw supporting beams.

Things to keep in mind while designing each bridge:

  • Distribute weight symmetrically
  • Do your best to design bridges with an arch shape
  • Think triangles
  • Avoid sharp changes in direction

Example Bridge with Arch structure and triangles

Avoiding sharp changes of angle

Some levels, in particular the ones with non-symmetrical anchor points, will require you to think in terms of "double arcs" to improve weight distribution and avoid weak spots where beams are likely to break. Two good examples of a "double arc" bridge types are Book 2 - Page 3 and Book 3 - Page 7

A special mention on Book 3 - Page 7

Lots of users are getting stuck on this level and unable to proceed. By using the tips above you should be able to design a successful bridge, but if frustration overcomes you we have provided a screenshot of the solution for you.

A good example

A user submitted his solution to Book 2 - Page 3 asking how to fix it. Below you can see his version, and the corrected version with comments, it's a good example of how to design bridges for other levels too
