BridgeCraft - Time Waster

A few days ago I wrote about a time waster called Cargo Bridge, a physics-based bridge building game. While certainly fun, Cargo Bridge had a few frustrating elements, one of which being the fact that the pieces you build with do not snap to a grid. As it turns out, there is another, very similar game called BridgeCraft which does snap its pieces to a grid.
BridgeCraft won't be for all of you; it has a very cartoony feel, and would probably be a fantastic game for kids. But don't discount it as merely a kid's game; while BridgeCraft is certainly easier than Cargo Bridge, it still has that element of challenge that we all look for in a good time waster.
One word of warning: choose Normal difficulty when given the choice between Normal and Easy. Easy is ridiculously easy, which would be great for introducing children to the game, but it's completely unnecessary for adults.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.

Deck, steel, cable, show stress, the grid. Total ripoff of the Bridge Builder and Pontifex games. Still nicely done, though it is way too cutesy for anyone over the age of 9.

Why don't you ever link to the original location of the game? If you pointed it to the version at Candystore.com, you'd be sending us to a version with twice the levels.
