Play 40 different levels, and build bridges over deep valleys, canals, and rivers. Stress tests reveal whether the bridge you build can withstand the daily stress of continual use from cars, trucks and, more recently, super-heavy tank trucks. You can choose from a range of materials for each individual bridge, such as wood, steel, cables, or concrete pillars. Use the appropriate materials and stay within budget to build the perfect bridge. The choice of different materials means that there are numerous solutions and approaches and you can build each bridge in any number of ways – your budget is the only limit. The refined grid system allows you to realise your idea of the perfect bridge with even more precision. Let your imagination and creativity run free! And if you happen to run into a dead end, you can pick up valuable tips from the brand new help system!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Bridge Constructor at free with in-app purchases against RFS's subscription. RFS's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (24K vs 1.1K). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
