Designing a Flawless #1 Bridge in Poly Bridge 2

This bridge was actually flawed but that's okay.
This was my journey of making the #1 Bridge on level 3-10 in Poly Bridge 2. The record was beat within a day, but hey, I was number one for a little bit.
As always, feel free to leave a comment below on things I could improve on (or anything, really).

"they were watching a stream and streamsniping or something like that" With Go Seigen (a streamer) suddenly being in the top 5, yeah, probably

[@CB-lw7ty]

If its another streamer being in the top 5 then its just people doing what he was doing of trying to get a high score on a random bridge for content more than them literally watching him and deciding they need to do it on the same bridge just to go against him. Its typical narcissist mentality that there can't just be people who play the game, want to be top of a leaderboard and so are doing what he is, no no they are actively against him and doing it on purpose despite the fact there will be people who would have been in that leaderboard annoyed thinking he was doing the same to them. Its a simple thing, put a leaderboard on a game, people will compete to be the best and maintain their positions, doesn't make everyone against you just because you stream.

[@robertpendli340]

@@CB-lw7ty This is a niche game with a low player count, multiple people all trying for the same leaderboard at the same time is unlikely enough to safely assume there is some sort of centralized challenge or focus (that could be a stream, a random discord group challenge, whatever). Also he wasn't streaming this, he was assuming the sudden influx could be from someone else's stream, not that they were trying to take him down.

[@CB-lw7ty]

@@robertpendli340 He literally referred to the idea that people were stream sniping him and this isn't a niche game its an Indie game that blew up last year and had a big influx of youtube videos, people playing and clones all spawning from it.

The other comments are right, your sub count IS really low compared to the quality of your work. Your video style reminds me of "dangerouslyfunny, call me Kevin, let's game it out" (*let's game it out* the most, since he always puts a lot of gameplay time and puts it into a 10-20 min video). The only thing is, that they are playing random games and focus on comedy and ridiculousness for entertainment. Yours is more expertise oriented, which could be interesting to see in all sort of games where logic and planning could be advantageous. I'm subbing and I hope you might branch

the top category jumps can be super weird and hard to predict. Since most people probably score somewhere in the middle of the bell curve, you can jump really far with tiny changes if you're right behind the curve to start. I remember being shocked when I went from like 80% to like 10% after bringing my cost down from 20k to 19.5k

Always liked the android bridge builders. Clearly this isnt that. Your videos bring a question to mind. In the "olden" days in which I'm only a generation and MAYBE a half from being "olden", the amazing staggering amount of math knowledge and rigorous dedication it must have required to produce structures that were created in ones mind, then transferred to a mechanical drawing and then to reality. I can appreciate what you just showed me in the video...geometry and its relativity to other geometry is how this thing called life works. Of course if we start talking about religion all that mumbo jumbo is gone. Suprisingly entertaining video. I havent hit "like" on a video in a very long time unless I was drunk and couldn't work my youtube right.....peace
