Designed by the Quantum Astrophysicists Guild, The Bridge will be coming to Xbox Live Arcade on November 13th.
A winner of multiple design and gameplay awards, The Bridge is a 2D logic puzzle game that forces the player to re-evaluate their preconceptions of physics and perspective through 48 increasingly-difficult levels. Think of a cross between Braid and Limbo and you’re looking like you’ll be halfway there.
Featuring beautifully hand-drawn environments and thought-provoking physics challenges that push the boundaries of player perception, The Bridge will get you thinking in ways no other game has done.
Game description:
The Bridge is a 2D logic puzzle game that forces the player to reevaluate their preconceptions of physics and perspective. It is Isaac Newton meets M. C. Escher. Manipulate gravity to redefine the ceiling as the floor while venturing through impossible architectures. Explore increasingly difficult worlds, each uniquely detailed and designed to leave the player with a pronounced sense of intellectual accomplishment. The Bridge exemplifies games as an art form, with beautifully hand-drawn art in the style of a black-and-white lithograph. Features: •48 thought-provoking puzzles, each unique from the rest, all requiring an innovative solution. •Gravity manipulations, gravitational vortexes, parallel dimensions, and many more mind-bending concepts in a world where the laws of physics are not what they seem. •M. C. Escher-esque worlds with impossible architecture set in the style of beautifully hand-drawn black-and-white lithographic art. •An alternate version of the game unlocked after the main storyline has been completed, including challenging alternate versions of each of the 24 main puzzles, along with an alternate ending. •A time-backtracking system to alleviate any fears of making a mistake.
Whilst we don’t have a firm set-in-stone- price yet, all signs are that The Bridge will be coming to XBLA in the £6.49/$9.99 region.
Currently available on Steam, you can have a taster of what is to come in the launch trailer used for its Steam release earlier in the year.
