BridgeFix 2=3-1 delivers logic puzzles inspired by Japanese Hashi-wo-kakero challenges, where players connect islands with bridges under strict numerical rules. Simple to grasp yet tough to conquer, these indie strategy puzzles grow more engaging through fresh twists like restrictions on total active bridges and entangled connections that sync states. Spanning sizes from very small (12 islands) to huge (50-60 islands), the collection offers 5000 algorithm-generated levels, half classic and half enhanced.
Helpful aids fade solved nodes and flag clear errors, with options to disable them, night mode for dimmed play, Steam achievements, and three Asia-themed tracks for calm sessions. Casual puzzle fans who relish escalating difficulty across thousands of grids will find endless satisfaction here.
The game BridgeFix 2=3-1 is based on the Japanese Hashi-wo-kakero (橋をかけろ, aka "Hashi") logic puzzles. As with Sudoku, the rules of the puzzles are easy to understand but hard to master and create many interesting problems for the player to solve.
BridgeFix 2=3-1 extends the base puzzle rules by adding two new interesting mechanics which add a new twist:
- Multiple links can have restrictions, e.g. having 3 active bridges in total.
- Two connections can be "entangled", i.e. always have the same state.
Features
- 5000 puzzles for your enjoyment.
- The game can assist you by fading out nodes that are solved and marking those that are obvious mistakes. (Can be disabled in the settings)
- Night mode with reduced brightness.
- Steam achievements.
- Three relaxing Asia-themed music tracks.

How difficult are the puzzles?
That is hard to answer objectively and depends on your skill as a player. Please have a look at the screenshots to get a feel for the size and difficulty of the puzzles.
Where do the puzzles come from?
The puzzles are generated using an algorithm I have written. So if you come close to solving all of the puzzles, send me a message and I can generate more. :)
