The premise, in the publisher's words
Poly Bridge is a bridge-building simulation-puzzle game, developed by New Zealand–based indie studio Dry Cactus with music by Canadian composer Adrian Talens, where players build bridges for vehicles to cross. Poly Bridge was released for Microsoft Windows on July 12, 2016, iOS on June 13, 2017. Steel, wood, rope, and cable can be combined and used to strengthen a designed bridge and "hydraulics" are used to move pieces of the bridge. The game is made more difficult with the availability of different building materials of different prices. A sequel to the game titled Poly Bridge 2 was released on May 28, 2020 for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
