I've been playing Bridge Constructor on Xbox One, and it's as as maddeningly addictive as the mobile versions. It includes all the levels from the Windows Store versions, in improver to the Gradient Mania! expansion. The UI design is identical to its Windows Store counterparts, but it translates surprisingly well to a Xbox One controller.

A tap of "A" acts as your option push, for placing bridge materials. Striking "B" brings upwards the material selection carte, likewise as save controls. You can cycle dorsum through the menus by hitting "B" too, mimicking the functionality of the back push on a Lumia. Other controls are displayed persistently on screen throughout the game's various menus.

As an Xbox I championship, you might find that the graphics and physics display a little meliorate than on your phone. However, Bridge Constructor appears to be a direct port of the Windows Store version, complete with simplistic mobile-level visuals - admitting in Hard disk. Information technology doesn't matter, though, as Bridge Constructor'due south strength lies in its addictive applied science sim gameplay.

Equally yous progress through the game'southward threescore+ levels, yous'll find that the difficulty increases exponentially testing the very limits of your inner bridge engineer. You're scored based on a combination of the integrity of your bridges and the amount of budget used when building. Yous can only progress if you lot can successfully transport two vehicles across your bridges. When your designs fail, your bridges will explode into a satisfying cascade of struts and girders - which fifty-fifty makes losing addictive.

The Xbox One version comes with 1000 Gamerscore of achievements and Xbox Alive leaderboards, which shows your global ranking for each level. Equally mentioned earlier, achievement hounds will be glad to know that Bridge Constructor is picking up Xbox integration on the Windows 10 and Windows Telephone stores in the future.

If you lot can't wait until then, Bridge Constructor is available now in the Windows 10 / 8.i app shop without Xbox integration. The full Xbox 1 version will be available tomorrow on Xbox Live.
