Like from Games Magazine. Looks like fun. I've never tried Bridges? Islands? (forget what they called it) when it showed up in Games. So this will be a first for me.

Cool game, but you can find the same one, and more, on Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection page.

Can't really fault this game at all. It's a perfect introduction to Hashi ("Bridges").

* Control scheme was actually quite intuitive and faster than [other sites]
* Good range of difficulty. As a seasoned puzzler I only needed to put my thinking cap on for the 10x10 puzzles, but I really needed it. Still, the difficulty is limited by the small size of the grid. The range of logical possibilities to think about just isn't present in this puzzle set.

I love hashi! I was sad when Conceptis switched to pay to play, because I had to cut down on my hashi habit, so this was nice. Way too easy for me, though.

Nice! I understand this isn't something original, but I've never player it before.

I completed the level 1 puzzles under a minute, the level 2 puzzles under 2 minutes and the level 3 puzzles.. well, the ones I did complete took me more than 10 minutes! :P And there were at least three (from level 3) that analyzing every knot and it's neighbors wasn't enough, I had to mentally guess something and see if it works on the rest.

ooooh. A logic game which is actually a logic game. Fun!

As always, no "Next" button. While the puzzles are a nice enough distraction, retrieving every level individually is too tedious for me to bother with.
It is interesting that their puzzles always have a unique solution (that I know of). Perhaps they are all handmade, accounting for the limited number of them, but it would be greatly improved if the game included the code to generate a far greater number of valid levels automatically.
I wonder if these limitations are part of a deliberate commercial strategy or just design flaws.

One of my favourite pen-n-paper logical game types. Thx for reviewing this!

Conceptis is great!

I liked that.

6x6 and 8x8 were easy but 10x10 made me think.

It is possible to do all the 10x10 games without guessing. There is always an arrangement which allows you to place another bridge with only a minimal amount of logic. It does sometimes take some time to find it though...

Remember that all islands need to be connected. This allows you to rule out combinations which would leave an isolated section.

Fun and thought-tastic, but I can only do so many in a row before I get bored (that is, about 15).

Thank you. For the first time, a review of a game that did not begin as a conversation you might have with a 6 year-old.

Inane does not equal fun.

Nevermind. Forget I said anything.
