Bridge Constructor Portal 4+

Very fun - makes me want to be in construction! :)

I love Valve and Half-Life, and Portal was so fun when it came out. I love puzzles, and now I can have a Portal-themed game on my phone and/or iPad! I prefer to use on my phone so I can play on the go. All the humour of GLaDOS is there, this time with an Aperture employee. Keep in mind this is a bridge-building game, and not the same type of puzzles as in the original first-person games, but they are just as exciting, albeit in a different way. You have to ensure that you use clever use of physics and structural engineering to make sure your fellow employees don't fall in the green goo. Spoiler alert: it melts them! :'( I don't usually write reviews because I can be lazy but I want to get the word out so the developers can update content and add more levels over time. It's a lot of fun and I find myself playing more and more. Thanks for a really cool game!

One thing to fix.

Usually if I pay for an app I don’t expect it to have adds. Way to ruin a great game.

Above was my first review. However the developers have responded and fixed the issue. So now I can talk about how good this game is. First of all it is not Portal. It’s just a bridge game with a Portal theme. This is definitely not a complaint. I love this new twist of a physics based bridge game. The silly comments from everyone’s favorite AI GLaDOS are delightfully funny and the puzzles very clever. If I have any complaints it’s the issue with cloud syncing. I started on my phone and when I switched to my iPad the game didn’t sync over so I went back to my phone only to find that the cloud sync reset that game. Usually this would just be annoying but you can’t skip the tutorial so I ended up giving up and coming back a day later. The rest of this game is so nice that I can look over that. There is a simple fix however. Other games that utilize this cloud sync will prompt you before resetting your game. The prompt will say something like “newer save found would you like to use the current save of the cloud save”. So really once they fix that I can’t really find anything wrong with the game. I haven’t gotten to the end yet but I’m moving through the levels and I’ve only pulled Googled a solution once. Level 53 was a doozy.

There was a technical problem which is now solved. We are very sorry for that. No more ads will ever appear!

This is NOT Portal - updated

These comments are not meant to contradict the many people who like this game — and I am one of those players — but as someone who played Portal 1 and 2 (and the player-designed maps) multiple times, I have to point out to the developers that part of the joy and pain of Portal is knowing you only have two portals at one time, *and* you have to figure out where to put them to do the task at hand. This game is focused on two things: (1) determine the logic of getting the vehicle from entrance to exit, and (2) figure out how to make the needed structures with the available attachment points.

For the first 30 levels I chalked up the “insanely challenging” comments to people unfamiliar with Portal, but I now understand that the game designers have devised some truly fiendish puzzles. I thought I would finish the entire game in two days, but progress has slowed dramatically ...

Another thing for the developers: for color blind people like me, the multi-portal levels can be problematic. Level 57 is making me weep. How about the ability in Build mode to touch a portal and have the corresponding portal light up or pointed to with an arrow, or something? The logic problems are challenging enough. Not knowing where a portal leads is a show stopper.
