Release Date: February 22, 2013
A two-dimensional combination of a platformer and a logical game, taking place in a black-and-white world modelled on M.C.'s illusionist paintings. Escher. Players must show perceptiveness and understanding of the twisted laws of physics, functioning on levels that are impossible to reproduce in reality, in order to move the hero from one end to the other.
The Bridge is a 2D logic puzzle game that forces the player to reevaluate their preconceptions of physics and perspective. It is Isaac Newton meets M. C. Escher. Manipulate gravity to redefine the ceiling as the floor while venturing through impossible architectures. Explore increasingly difficult worlds, each uniquely detailed and designed to leave the player with a pronounced sense of intellectual accomplishment. The Bridge exemplifies games as an art form, with beautifully hand-drawn art in the style of a black-and-white lithograph.
The Bridge was created by Ty Taylor and Mario Castañeda. It was started as a project requirement for Ty Taylor's Master of Science degree in Computer Science at Case Western Reserve University, and shortly after the game was started, Mario Castañeda took the role as the sole artist for his Art minor capstone project at Case Western. The production of The Bridge has continued even after Ty and Mario have graduated to turn the school project into a professional-quality indie game.

Game Ratings for The Bridge Video Game.
GamesRadar+: 3.5 / 5 by Chris Schilling
A fascinating and absorbing headspace in which to spend a few hours.
GameSpot: 7 / 10 by Britton Peele
Years after its initial release, The Bridge is still a great example of 2D puzzle gaming.
DarkZero: 7 / 10
For a game that was created by just two students, it’s an accomplishment to be incredibly proud of and I know that I’ll be gifting a few of my friends this game throughout the year, even if it is only to drive them crazy with confusion too.
