About this game
Bridge Race is a collect-and-build racing game where four runners compete across floating platforms separated by broken gaps. Your runner only collects amber bricks, while each of your three rivals collects its own color - the color lock keeps every race a fair, independent scavenger hunt. Run over bricks of your color to stack them on your head, up to twelve at a time, and watch the pile grow as you sprint. When you reach the edge of a gap the bridge lays itself: every tile of the chasm costs exactly one brick, your speed drops to sixty percent while you pave, and the finished planks become solid ground that any racer can walk across - including your opponents, so being first across is generous but not free. Thirty handcrafted levels raise the stakes steadily: the number of gaps grows from one to three, their width from four to ten tiles, and the three AI runners climb through three difficulty tiers with faster feet and quicker decisions. The AI never collides with you or with each other, so every duel is pure route planning: grab the nearest bricks, cross the nearest gap and never stop moving. First across the finish line takes one hundred points, second seventy, third forty-five and fourth twenty-five, and your placing sets the stars for that level - three for a win, two for second, one for any other finish. A level grid tracks your stars and unlocks, progress is saved automatically, a resume snapshot returns you to the exact level you left, and a Daily Challenge seeded by the UTC date sends every player to the same track each day with its own best score and a streak that grows day by day. All sound is synthesized in-game with a mute switch that remembers your choice.
How to play
Steer your runner with a virtual joystick (press and drag anywhere) or with WASD / arrow keys - movement is fully eight-directional. Running over amber bricks picks them up automatically and stacks them on your head, up to 12. Walk to the edge of a gap while carrying bricks and the bridge paves itself, one brick per tile, while you slow to 60%. Finished bridges can be walked by everyone. Reach the finish line at the far right as one of the first three racers to score points and stars. Use the level grid to replay any unlocked level, and the Daily Run button for the UTC-seeded daily track.
Tips & Tricks
- Gather slightly more than the next gap needs before you commit - running out of bricks mid-bridge means a slow walk back for a second load.
- Bridges are shared: if a rival has finished a crossing near your row, walk onto their planks and save your own bricks for the next gap.
- Paving cuts your speed to 60%, so line up straight with the gap edge first - a diagonal crossing enters more tiles and wastes bricks.
- Keep an eye on the standing counter in the HUD: when you are ahead, take the direct line; when you are behind, over-collect so you never need a second trip.
Frequently asked questions
Why can I only pick up amber bricks?
Every racer is locked to one color: yours is amber, and each AI rival collects its own color. This keeps the race fair and turns the map into a route-planning puzzle instead of a scramble - nobody can steal your bricks, and you cannot steal theirs.
What happens if I run out of bricks in the middle of a gap?
You stop at the end of your planks. The tiles you already laid stay solid, so just walk back along your own bridge, collect more amber bricks on the platform and return - the tiles behind you are never charged again, so every trip makes permanent progress. Bricks also respawn over time, so you can never be locked out of a level.
How does the Daily Challenge work?
Every day the UTC date seeds a fixed level choice and a fixed layout variant, so all players race the same track that day. Finishing the daily run checks you in: the streak grows if you played yesterday and resets to 1 after a missed day, and your best daily score is stored separately from the normal best.
