It’s like a non-bendy version of World of Goo

Killing transit vans in Bridge Constructo­r

-

When I was 11, everyone in my class had to build a model bridge. I was proud of my lolly stick design, but my teacher told me I’d done it wrong—in that dismissive way you get with a lot of state school educators who love to phone that shit in. Then, when it came to the test, my bridge held under the weight of every dictionary in the classroom. It was one of the top moments of a very boring childhood.

Bridge Constructo­r brought all that flooding back. It’s so low-fi, with a dreadful set of menus and icons, but it lets me test bridges by sending cars and vans over once they’re finished. It’s like a non-bendy version of World of Goo.

Long ago, defiantly staring down my teacher as I glued another lollipop stick to my model, I convinced myself I would be very good at building real bridges were I ever given the chance. Bridge Constructo­r lets me prove that.

 ??  ?? I like my bridges like my magazines: sturdy and under budget.
