## What is Bridge Strike?

Get behind the controls of our plane and fight for peace. You are our last hope!

Far, far away, there was a land where the tidiness lasted for many years... 

Our secret service reports on the great enemy forces that are going towards our border. We must answer strongly and take them by surprise.

Be invisible to the enemy who lurks everywhere.

The mission takes place in glens where the river flows.
A collision with rocks or enemy units is always deadly for our aircraft. The task is to destroy enemy units visible on the game map. 

Some enemy units cannot be destroyed with rockets, so you simply have to avoid them. Sometimes there appear islands connected by a bridge which must be destroyed.

The player get points for all destroyed objects. When last aircraft crashes, the game ends.

The goal of the game is to fly in a glen to avoid detecting our aircraft by a network of enemy radars. It will not be a simple task, the enemy has arranged many dangerous units ready to thwart our plans.",

The enemy has a large range of various weapons, from ordinary patrol boats to complex automatic rocket systems. Fortunately, your aircraft has been equipped with the latest technological achievements in the form of endless rockets.

Rockets combined with your great pilot skills will help you achieve your goal and reach the last bridge.

Bridge Strike has stunning old school pixel graphics, a dedicated chiptune soundtrack and SFX and features several types of terrain across diverse and demanding missions.

Bridge Strike is not usual SHMUP arcade shooting game, where you fly anywhere with autofire and destroy enemies. You have to think while you fly in this shoot'em up game. You need to be careful, because not everytime faster means better :)

If you are good enough you will be able to change you flying machine to e.g. heli, hovercraft or even a boat!

# RAID #

In this mode you have to destroy as many bridges as possible. Fly as far as you can, fight with enemies and get many points. Thanks to the points you will get attention from other pilots around the world! Yeah, there are LEADERBOARDS and ACHIEVEMENTS!

# CAMPAIGN #

Build you pilot rank. Complete various missions, collect coins and buy new machines!

# LOCATIONS #

Villages, cities, deserts and even mountains. Sooo big terrain to discover!

# WEATHER #

When there is a sun don't wait. Just fly. Unfortunately, sometimes there is a rain or storm with thunders (clouds are dangerous when there are thunders, you may crash).

Flying in the mountains? Be prepared for snow or snowstorm!

What is the worst scenario?

Flying alone.. at night, during the storm with thunders. Nobody said it will be an easy task? :)

# ENEMIES #

Watch out for boats, helis, jeeps, airships and tanks. Ah yeah.. there are also magnetic mines :)

# HANGAR #

Destroy enemies and collect coins. You can exchange coins in HANGAR for new machines. Fly faster, collect more coins and get your flying machine as best as you can.

### 2/5 — Pond raid

*2022-09-29, version 1.2.0*

Doesn’t quite live up to the classic activision game. Control is a bit choppy, and in landscape they’d be better placed towards the edge of the screen. Can’t shoot fuel for a bonus. Clouds are annoying and not well placed. Original game had ten levels before upping the anti . I’ve played river raid for days and days.

The financial side of the game kills any enjoyment before it starts, but as there’s issues there it’s a straight up delete. Thanks

### 5/5 — Hidden gem!

*2020-08-29*

This game is a retro gamer’s dream! It’s a cool little tribute to River Raid, but plays a whole lot smoother, and manages to have a style of it’s own. There are a lot of really nice touches w/ the game design and camera work, and the pixel art is rad, and actually makes sense for a game like this (getting sick of pixel art being used out of laziness, and not with artistic integrity). This game doesn’t do that. The controls are super smooth and worth mentioning, too!   
  
Totally worth a play if you’re a retro fan like me! I think other reviewers might have come in looking for an action packed bullethell, so were harsher on it than they should’ve been. Personally, it’s my favorite find lately, gonna stick with it a while. Awesome job, devs!

**Developer response:** Hi KittenMoney, it has been almost 2 years since your review, but.. :) Thank you so much for your kind words. We are true "retro geeks" ;) Do you know that we have created BS firstly on Amiga? (yep.. :D). All the pixel art is drawn pixel-by-pixel. We spent a lot of time designing the maps. We know where we could improve the gameplay and maybe, some day. we will do it. We are very happy you enjoyed it! :)

### 5/5 — Fun

*2020-03-09, version 1.1.9*

Fun retro game

### 4/5 — Nice Game

*2020-02-21*

This game made for a nice quick time killer but I can not see myself playing it for very long

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your comment. We are working on big update right now (e.g. landscape mode). Please stay tuned! Best!

### 2/5 — Nothing special

*2020-02-12, version 1.1.7*

Great aesthetic but the gameplay itself is incredibly slow and boring. You can only shoot one bullet at a time instead spraying it constantly like you would in a classic arcade shooter and the enemies don’t do anything. Plus filling up the fuel every 10 seconds feels redundant.

### 5/5 — WOW

*2020-02-11*

I’m trying to get 100% on everything. It has juz released & i know there iz more fun to come. 🎼❤️

🛸👾🚀SHMUPZ🚀👾🛸

**Developer response:** Hi there! It is really not an easy task to get everything :) Till now nobody finished "RAID", have you done it? :) Best regards and happy playing! :)

### 1/5 — Boring basic gameplay

*2020-02-05*

Very simplistic gameplay. Boring . Ok for young kids

**Developer response:** Hi Trojmor, thanks for your comment. I am pretty sure game doesn't deserve for only 1 star. Bridge Strike is not a classic shooter. The core gameplay is based on the River Raid, the game we used to play when we were kids. I hope you will fix your rating. And maybe, when you play a little longer, you will enjoy the game.
