Bridge Builder: The best game since Lemmings!

[CapTVK]

For the past week I've been playing the most original game I've seen in a very long time. And for me the last truly original game was Lemmings, so there.
It's a very small game called bridge builder. You have to build a bridge over a river using only girders as building material, under a limited budget. Sound simple? Well, the game uses a realistic physics model, not every bridge that looks pretty on paper will stay in one piece in practice. Meaning bridges will often collapse under their own weight, so good design is rewarded.<P>The game can be found here (it's quite small, only 122k!) <A HREF="http://bridgebuilder.8m.com/" TARGET=_blank>http://bridgebuilder.8m.com/</A> <P>I've already made it to level 12, let's see how you fare!<P>
