Bridge Constructor Portal guide - beginner tips, tricks, and hints

Bridge Constructor Portal merges the best parts of Bridge Constructor and Portal, tasking the player with fun building challenges with a surprising sci-fi twist. The difficulty can ramp up pretty quickly, but there are a few helpful tips you can use to help you overcome any obstacle with a little creativity. Here are a few helfpul hints to help you forge your own path in Bridge Constructor Portal.

Put cubes to good use

Bridge Constructor Portal presents all sorts of environmental difficulties, but you don't have to go it alone -- you'll find tools in the game, namely cubes, to help you out. Never take the cubes for granted. You can use them to blast through obstacles or clear out dangerous turrets. You can also use them to hit hard-to-reach switches.

Give yourself a boost if you need it

Physics plays a big role in this game, and you can use that to your advantage. Build ramps at a decline or use propulsion gel to build some momentum and speed things up if you need to jump a tough gap or hit a switch. You can also use portals to build momentum in interesting ways.

Don't forget to test

Before you use your newly built bridge, it's a good idea to give these a test run in case things go wrong. Make good use of the "test" option. Pushing the test button will show what happens with the bridge in play mode. If things are looking a little shaky without any vehicles on it, then it's time to go back to the drawing board.
