Its been a long time...
Update:
The reason indie games are better than games from big developers like Chillingo, is that the indie devs actually work hard to update the app and add content. Meanwhile, once a developer sells it to Chillingo- it is released and thats it folks.... No update in a year. No part 3. Its been ages since I was excited about this game. And Ive found other bridge building games that are less complicated with extraneous details, but more focused on the physics of building the bridge.
I stopped buying apps from certain devs, and Chillingo has lately fallen in that category. They have way too many games to even consider reworking and updating them. I assume they watch their most popular games, and the rest just sit there.
Below is my initial review. I dont actually think this game is fun anymore, aside from the developer issue. The 3 star thing is random and frustrating. Its not worth the time.
How was this game not chosen as game of the week???
This game is completely unique and so much fun. Nothing like this in App Store. I play this for hours almost every day since I got it. Its the best game Ive downloaded in the last 6 months. Its not the kind of game that is novel and fun at first, but easily loses its appeal. Instead, the more you play, the more you will want to play!
This game uses your brain and takes a few minutes to get the hang of the building properties and limitations.
This is not a mindless 5-minute-fix type game. Once you start, that 5 mins will quickly turn to an hour or three... :)
Reading some negative reviews, I think that the difficulty of some levels frustrate new players, who havent learned the rules. There is a tutorial, but it is still a trial and error game when youre on your own. Ive definitely been frustrated by some levels. But I always come back to try again... It is truly a remarkable game.
To make this more enjoyable for new players, it would help to lower the difficulty in early stages, and add some hints!
*****A solution hint system like Bad Piggies uses would make this game PERFECT!****
