After a wildly successful year of community-driven development during our Early Access period, Poly Bridge launches today in its final version, bigger and better than ever, with more levels, new artwork, improved game modes, leaderboards, a greater variety of bridge-building functions, and even a revolutionary take on Twitch-streaming integration.
We would like to extend a huge warm thank you to the players that have supported us along the journey, giving us feedback, suggestions, and bug reports to allow us to make the game into what it is today, so much more than the little bridge-building game it was when it released into Early Access a year ago.
If you’ve been with us for a while, below you can find a list of the changes and additions that are part of final release.
Tropical Paradise
The final world of the Campaign has been added, 15 new levels await you in Tropical Paradise, but don’t be fooled by the name, they are hellishly hard!
Featured Items in Workshop
We’ve added a convenient ‘Featured’ tabs to the in-game Workshop browser, every week or so we will be rotating these featured levels, making it easier for you to find cherry-picked Workshop content.
Sandbox Themes
You may now set a theme (Alpine Meadows, Deserts Winds, etc) when designing a Sandbox level. The terrain outline will now show while in Blueprint mode, and selecting the start or end terrain will allow you to change its shape by choosing from one of six available options.
Twitch Integration
We’re pleased to announce the public release of the Twitch Integration we’ve been working on for the last few months. This allows Twitch streamers to interact with the audience in a new and unique way, giving viewers the ability to build their own bridge and submit it to the streamer as a suggestion, creating an exciting and entertaining collaborative experience.

Enjoy hours of physics-based puzzle solving in the Campaign and then jump in the Sandbox to create your own bridge designs and puzzles.
Challenge friends and the rest of the Steam Workshop community to solve your puzzles and download more levels submitted by other players.

And here's our Roadmap: https://trello.com/b/9IS3LKpk/poly-bridge-roadmap
We put lots of work in the physics of the game and the result is an accurate and consistent simulation, which also gives you access to loads of different building blocks, including hydraulic pistons to create shape-changing and moving bridges, suspension bridges, cable, steel, iron, and more.
Enjoy hours of bridge-building fun with loads of levels to solve, ranging from simple light car bridges to multi-deck draw-bridges and jumps, just to name a few!
Levels get increasingly challenging from the engineering aspect and restrictions are also imposed on the resources you can use to build your bridge.
What would an awesome bridge-builder game be without an equally awesome Sandbox?
Go wild and create the most complex bridge the world has ever seen, or just an absurd creation that pushes the mechanics of the game in a new direction, and if you're feeling like it publish your design online as a puzzle level on the Workshop for everyone to try and solve!
Download hundreds of extra levels from the Workshop!
We'll also be featuring the most original and fun bridge designs that are submitted, making it easier for you to find the ones that are worth the challenge.
One of our favorite features of the game!
Save a super cool looking animated GIF of your bridge in all its glory (or failure!) and save it locally, upload it to the Poly Bridge Gallery and/or share it on Twitter!
