Build bridges, don't burn them...

Wooden Paths is a flash game where you solve puzzles to complete bridges connecting two land masses with progressively more difficult levels and new challenges.

Wooden Paths is not linear, it's based on which levels you pick as you go through the game, so if you choose poorly you may run into a more difficult challenge than you are ready for.

Bridge A-03 on adventurer's map had a bug the last time I tried it. Beginner's map is fun and not too challenging but the adventurer's map is brutal.

Reminds me of what I've read about graph theory, the Seven Bridges of Königsberg problem and Euler.

They have teleporters but they need wooden bridges?

I know, I know, overthinking.

(Admittedly, any puzzle involving wooden bridges probably would.)

I was drunk when I tried this game and hated it. Maybe I should try again.

Did it involve the teleporter not working because a bridge was jammed / levitating above it? If so I feel your pain. Ruined like 20 minutes of work for me last week :(.

I like the idea of the game, but the controls felt slow and cumbersome to me, so I didn't make it very far before moving on. That said, thanks for posting!

I was going to say "see also the Bridge Builder series", but obviously this isn't the same sort of game at all.

I'm still going to mention the Bridge Builder/Pontifex games, though, because they're fantastic.

Another + for liking the game but not the controls. I would have been much happier selecting/highlighting a block and moving it with my keypad.

ACK. Addictive. I need those 4 hours back.

Oh man. I remember playing N (the ninja game) a year or two back and loading one of the user created levels called "The Seven bridges of Königsberg" which sounded vaguely familiar. I tried to beat it for at least an hour before I googled it...

THIS IS A HARD GAME THAT ALMOST MADE ME LATE FOR WORK. MY LIGHT IS GREEN.
