Poly Bridge 3 is the third installment in a popular series of puzzle-simulation games originating from 2016. It was developed by the same studio responsible for the rest of the series, Dry Cactus.

Mechanics

The gameplay of Poly Bridge 3 is viewed from the side, tasking the player with designing and building bridges. It is a daunting task, as the bridges must be able to hold the weight of the vehicles that are to drive on them.

The laws of physics and our budget both work against us; trying to save money on materials or the construction's strength can easily end tragically both for the bridge and for its users. Speaking of materials - we can make use of foundations, which significantly increase a bridge's strength if placed correctly.

Having said that, soon enough we'll be tasked with creating more outlandish projects than just regular bridges. These include drawbridges, multi-level bridges, special mobile hydraulic platforms and even ramps.

Game modes

Poly Bridge 3 only supports singleplayer. The game features an expansive campaign consisting of over a hundred levels of gradually increasing difficulty, as well as a sandbox mode without any objectives or limitations. It also supports custom mod tools, letting players create individual objects, such as vehicles and decorations, and even entire levels. These creations can than be shared with the game;s community.
