The Bridge crosses over to Mac, Linux next week
The Bridge, an M.C. Escher-like logic puzzler from developers Ty Taylor and Mario Castaneda, will expand its reach on Steam to Mac and Linux next week. The IGF Student Showcase winner will be available on Mac and Linux on May 16 and will be compatible with SteamOS and Steam Machines as well. The Bridge is a 2D puzzle game where players manipulate gravity to "redefine the ceiling as the floor," all while exploring 48 levels with layouts that seem architecturally impossible. It first arrived on Steam for PC in February 2013 before finding a second home on XBLA in November. The game is SteamPlay-enabled, so those that already own a copy of it on PC get it for free on Mac and Linux. [Image: Ty Taylor]
