Neon Bridge Builder

How to play Neon Bridge Builder

Neon Bridge Builder is a physics engineering puzzle across 6 widening chasms. Each level hands you a fixed budget: spend it on neon beams and joint nodes to connect the green start platform to the gold finish platform. Beams cost $5 per 10 pixels of length, and free-floating joints cost $40 each — every dollar you don't spend becomes bonus points. When the bridge is complete, hit Send Glider and watch it ride your structure across the gap.

Controls

Pick a tool with the buttons above the chasm or the keyboard: B for Build, J for Joint, X for Remove. In Build mode click one glowing node then a second node to stretch a beam between them. In Joint mode click any open space to drop a joint you can build from. In Remove mode click a beam or joint to tear it down for a 50% refund. Press T to send the glider, R to reset the level with a full budget refund. Works with mouse and touch.

Tips & strategy

Any beam longer than 150 pixels is drawn flashing red — it will snap mid-crossing unless you support it. The fix: drop a joint just below the beam's middle and run a support strut from that joint down to a magenta rock anchor. Short chains of beams through mid-air joints are usually cheaper than one heroic long span. Only the beams on the glider's actual route get stress-tested, so stray scaffolding only costs you money. Plan the whole crossing before you spend a dollar.

Scoring

Each completed bridge banks 150 points plus $2 for every unspent budget dollar, so thrift pays. Finish all 6 chasms to complete the game — your session best is tracked above the chasm.
