    The Bridge is a physics based puzzler with poor physics mechanics. That right there spells the downfall of the game. It tries to be like Braid by allowing you to rewind time and offering attempts at witty quotes in between levels, but none of it is anywhere near as good. There is no pacing in the levels. You'll start out easy, then they will quickly ramp up the difficulty, only to lower itThe Bridge is a physics based puzzler with poor physics mechanics.

It tries to be like Braid by allowing you to rewind time and offering attempts at witty quotes in between levels, but none of it is anywhere near as good. There is no pacing in the levels. You'll start out easy, then they will quickly ramp up the difficulty, only to lower it again later. Levels will range from being a minute long to over a half hour (if you want a particular achievement). Some of the levels just because needlessly tedious. By the end, The Bridge is a chore to play when it should have been a casual experience.… Expand

    L'indé tout pourri du jour, celui qu'on avait laissé au placard pour plus tard est un étron indé. Evidemment me direz-vous, car c'est la raison d'être des "jeux indés". Mais celui-là quand même tout en noir et blanc et donc en 2 couleurs et demi, voire un peu plus : un étron tout en nuances de gris. Et de... euh... du beige je suppose ?

    Cela dit, cet étron indé peut convenir aux daltoniens, je présume mais l'intérêt y est absent ou extrêmement limité et rapidement très ennuyeux : faire pivoter l'écran à gauche ou ) droite pour atteindre la porte qui débloque le "niveau" suivant... t'es sérieux, là ? c'est "ça" ton jeu ? et t'appelles "ça" un jeu, toi ?!...

    Bah putain, tu manques pas d'air, mon petit bonhomme ! les stagiaires de nos jours, franchement, ils se prennent pas pour de la merde... mais ils en font.    … Expand

    Nice graphics and gameplay at first. But later, when I get stucked I found a walkthrough on YouTube and I was curiuos that some puzzles(mirrored part) are more like "step exactly on this pixel" or "find weird physics glitch" than puzzles I expect from puzzle game. I did not finished it.

    Bridging the chasm between the subtle complexity of Braid and the abstract genius of Closure, fleshed out by the unique perspective of M.C. Escher. [April 2013]

    For a game that was created by just two students, it’s an accomplishment to be incredibly proud of and I know that I’ll be gifting a few of my friends this game throughout the year, even if it is only to drive them crazy with confusion too.

    A good idea + a pinch of genius = a refreshing game. [CD-Action 05/2013, p.72]
