I am only 14 and I thought this game was going to be good but instead it was crappy.
The game controls on the IPhone is awful and has a 1in5 chances for it actually working correctly and the way I want it to work. I was trying to move the screen but instead I had added lots of wood stabilizers when I didn’t want that so I had to redo everything by deleting the whole bridge and restarting which was hard because I had forgotten the way the bridge had looked in the first place. When placing things down it was hard because the items would snap weirdly and then I would have to go back and fix it all by using another tool which was time consuming and made me frustrated that it was taking long.
I had asked for a refund but I didn’t qualify so I have a game that has bad controls and is very frustrating to play. Apple had said I didn’t qualify even though I had wrote about the controls and the sandbox but they ignored me, I feel like Apple has given up and is now just in it for the money which is annoying since we are to rely on them for help, refunds and recommendations. I am not trying to diss Apple in any way this is just my opinion and I could be wrong so you don’t have to believe me.

I love this game so much. It’s the perfect challenge puzzle game with realistic physics. The challenge of making your bridges work and stay under budget always has me thinking of ways I can do more with less. However my one and only complaint with the game is how heavy it runs the battery down. Just playing for 5-8 minutes knocks off 10% or more of my battery power. It’s been the top consumer of energy on my phone since downloading. It also causes my phone to get very hot as the demand on the phones performance is increased. If there’s an update that could improve the functionality of this games performance impact on my phone I’d give it 6 stars if I could. Until then due to the high impact on battery life my review will remain a 3.

The problem is that you you can contract a hydraulic up to 50% (halving), with the opposite of this being expanding 100% (doubling). The game only allows you to expand a hydraulic 50%, meaning that two identical hydraulics starting in opposite configurations at full range of motion are impossible. This means I have to reengineer a second solution for what should be an identical second bridge in level 2-13

Either there needs to be the ability to expand a hydraulic 100%, or you need to be able to set a hydraulic to start in a different simulated state when the level is run.

The first solution would work and be much less invasive a change than adding starting states for hydraulics, but that leads to the second design flaw. In order to create something in a different state, you still have to completely redraw it. There really should be a way to move and rotate groups of joints in order to translate existing designs. The lack of this ability means redrawing constantly.

3 stars because the issues mentioned seriously impede on the fun aspects of gameplay
