Can you Beat Poly Bridge 2 Using One Wood Piece?

hey guys today i'm back in poly bridge and i want to try beating the game using only one piece of wood well that and infinite road pieces there are a lot of other quirks about this challenge but i think this one's best just to jump right into before that though i just want to make this video sponsor squarespace the all-in-one platform to build your website so starting out here choosing the first world choosing the first level and giving it a shot succeed start out you have to delete the bridge that's there and i'm starting out with putting down five road pieces now this is totally the normal way to do it i'm actually putting in some wood right now to demonstrate the normal solution to this and you can see car ends up driving on it works out just fine and then hits its flag and of course this definitely breaks the rules of the challenge so i can only use one wood piece so what i'm going to do here is actually replace a bunch of the wood with roads and you can see here one main issue the car has collision with the roads which means i can't use over supports like this otherwise the car is just gonna get stuck exactly like this but what i can do is support underneath the bridge like this and you see the car drives across but it ends up breaking and it's because roads are way weaker than pretty much everything else so what i ended up doing is replacing it with reinforced roads and that was enough to get the car across so if level one done well level two is next and you see here it's a pretty similar idea basically i just have to get the van from the one side to the other and there's a little bit of a slope but that shouldn't be too big of a deal so you see put in my main roadway after that putting down supports in the bottom once you do that you see i'm using the reinforced roads in the bottom to hopefully support it better but this actually ends up breaking and i wasn't expecting it to be this bad so they ended up doing is putting down two wall supports on the side someone said that exceed van gets across ends up working out just fine and with that one done you can see loaned up the third level here and you notice a lot of these levels are similar in the way they're set up you can see basically you have to get something from the left to the right and it's just not really that different so it's actually the last level of its type i'm gonna be showing and all future levels are gonna have some weird twist to them that i think makes them interesting now one main problem with roads and especially reinforced roads is that they're really heavy so even a reinforced roads i think are a little bit stronger than wood they're so heavy that having a lot of them together means that i severely diminish the amount of weight i'm able to hold now like i said before i'm gonna be skipping a few so you'll notice i'm on five right now and this one is the first one that's posing a real challenge now you'll see here in my original solution there's a lot of supports in the center and i can't just erase those or replace them with roads so we need to think of something kind of creative here now i turned off my brain for like two seconds and i accidentally made top supports for some reason and that did not work out at all so ended up deleting all those roads you can see and i'm trying to support from the bottom now this ends up looking really dumb and also it does not support itself very well at all you can see it basically there's two points to the ends that are supporting all of the weight and it's reasonably heavy since i have all these reinforced roads so it just instantly breaks so what i try doing is replacing the reinforced roads with just normal roads since they're a little bit lighter but it didn't seem to help all that much so what i wanted to do instead was make this bottom bridge and i was hoping to support the top bridge off of the bottom bridge so you can see i got the basic structure put in place and actually holds up quite well at least until the car falls on it so you can see what i'm doing now is actually raising the middle part and i'm using a single piece of wood to support it now it actually held up the top part but the van kind of slammed down on the bottom bridge and caused it to break so i could have done a few things like smoothing it out but what i ended up doing is putting down a muscle in the bottom and then ended up solving the problem just fine you can see band gets crossed targets cross and level completion now level 6 and 7 weren't really that interesting but level 8 here was by far the biggest sticking point in this entire world you can see my original solution here uses a bunch of ropes and this is a big problem now if i only have one wood piece i pretty much have to support this right in the middle but i don't have any great place to do that so what i was thinking of starting out here with was actually a curved road now this crested road thing is actually pretty good so what ends up doing is helping support the bridge itself and i have to rely just a little bit less on the bottom supports then ended up putting a couple of those wall supports in place but i wanted to focus my attention on the top here because i knew it would be the trickiest part i'm putting down a whole bunch of roads like this i was hoping to make some sort of stable structure here but that just didn't really happen and i realized i was going to go for a far simpler approach so here i'm actually trying not to support the roads at all and they're just going to dangle but you see once i got it put in place is holding much better than before and in fact once i deleted the two roads that were held onto it you can see it's actually supporting itself just fine and it's only reasonably stressed so i thought might as well just try to finish up the bottom supports in the bridge here and get it all connected but when i tried pasting it i noticed a bunch of pieces were missing and i was kind of wondering what was going on but then i noticed i was 100 over budget and in this game you cannot go more than 100 over budget unless you specifically say unlimited budget and they really didn't want to do that does it kind of feel cheesy if i could use any amount of money i wanted to at all so you'll notice here just for now i did end up break on this one level and i'm using two ropes definitely wasn't thrilled about this but the budget was just so low that i don't really think this is possible without a limited budget if i had unlimited budget it might be possible to support the bottom but the other thing is it's such a long stretch it's kind of pushing what's even possible now i ended up deleting a bunch of extra road pieces here and you can see there's much less stress on the ropes and even the setup where i'm cheating with two ropes it's still ridiculously hard to get this to work and fighting here after tuning a bunch of the road pieces you can see he ends up getting a fire truck on top and it's just barely not breaking in the middle after i get that though ends up going over the other side hitting the flag and beating the level now the next tricky level is 113 here and you see the normal way to do it is using hydraulics and it's actually intended to be the first level in the game where you pretty much have to use hydraulics now the ridge right there for some reason didn't work i must have messed with it at some point but you can see the basic idea of it it has the lift up buddhist to come through and then it lowers back down the ambulance came across and you can see here my first idea was to have two roads that kind of went right into the middle and hopefully i could just get over that gap now it was a little bit weak so i couldn't quite do it there but i ended up reinforcing it with some reinforced roads and giving it a shot now you see the boat comes through and the ambulance tries to make it but it just instantly breaks the bridge so i reinforced things a little bit and also pushed the two roads in as close as i could an ambulance did get its front wheel over but no matter what i tried its back wheel always got stuck and it just couldn't do anything so my next thought here is actually to put in a little bit of a road like this and you see this weird diamond shape here now the boat comes through and ends up breaking it but the idea is that if i make it correctly the boat should come through and this piece should slowly rotate down and allow the ambulance to drive across it now there it didn't quite go so slow so ended up having to change its center of mass and after it did that you see the boat comes through it rotates down and now the ambulance should be able to drive on it now it didn't have the timing quite set up right so it ended up just slamming down on it and breaking it she ended up reinforcing the bridge a little bit which also slowed down the ambulance as well and you can see here the ambulance gets to it and it actually does work as intended and ends up kind of stopping it right in the middle and the ambulance can get right across but it ends up slamming down on the other side and i realized i could actually improve that a little bit just by strengthening the bridge and also moving around that center piece of road but you can see after i got this here ambulance comes across hits its checkpoint gets the other side and level completion so that one done next one up is 115. this is actually the last level in this world that i thought was pretty difficult so you can see the normal you do have hydraulic and ends up staying in the up positions that the red card get across then it lowers down then the two blue cars can get across now of course i can't use any hydraulics and there's a lot of supports in the middle so i was kind of wondering how i was gonna get this done but i realized you don't really need hydraulics you just need the split joints now what i'm doing is filling up the first half the bridge and this is the part that all the cars need to drive on sneak see red car gets crossed just fine and what i'm doing here is putting out another section of road and you see i put in a split joint then if you're putting down a few more supports you can see here as the red car gets on top this split joint just falls straight down and after that the blue cars can drive across and i was hoping they'd be able to get in there but they're just not quite fast enough but i can put in a catching road like this and you can see now red car gets across and it almost works but it's just a little too heavy so end up putting an extra piece of road in place and you can see here red car gets across like this road ends up falling down and other blue cars can get across now this one's actually pretty straightforward you see hits that road first car it's a checkpoint second car comes through hits a small road and hits his checkpoint and with that i successfully evaded using another hydraulic now you can see here my solution to the last level playing in the background but here are the final stats of world one so you can see the first four levels were all basically the same car goes from one side to the other just wasn't that hard the second set of levels though you see one eight i need the ropes for i don't know if it's possible to do that in budget without the ropes but you can see here next to the levels a little more interesting see i got some jumps and stuff going on and finally the last four levels here were a little more challenging and had just a taste of what world 2 was going to be before i transition to world 2 though i have something i want to show you here imagine you need to get a car from one island to another so you spend hours making a gravity

challenging now i ended up having to delete my previous solution after i did that you can see here i'm putting down some roads and basically i need to get both the green truck and the model t all the way over and for this i'm actually going to need to use the wood piece until now you may have noticed i'm only using the single wood piece and maybe half the levels and otherwise i could just use roads but that pretty much ends here and you can see here green truck gets across and i've had the most spectacular flip by i've ever seen from the model t but it ends up going over and hitting its flag so of course the first level wasn't that hard but from here it just got way worse starting on the sixth level now see here what i'm doing is putting down some roads and i'm already caving and putting down my wood piece now the only reason i did this so early is i thought this stretch was just too long for it realistically to be able to support itself on so you can see here i got that all on there but it just ends up snapping it's actually the wood piece that ends up breaking so i tried switching over a bunch of the reinforced roads to regular roads hopefully reduce some weight but even this just was too heavy and i couldn't do it so i tried optimizing the design a little bit by reading some more pieces and it actually seemed to help a little bit it was supporting itself for just a little bit of time you'll see once i got the truck on it it's just a little bit too much though so with a couple of extra road pieces you can see here it gets over and it just barely hits its checkpoint now with that done i have this next stretch to cover here and i put down one road piece and then immediately realized i have no idea what to do because what i need to do is somehow have roads on the bottom to support the truck but i also need them on top as well for the truck to get over and i already used my wood piece so i can't support it off on the other side so i really have no way to support this and what i was thinking here is i could probably use the truck to sort of ram the bridge and make it fall over i can get away with this only because the monster truck is pretty strong but you can see here the bridge immediately collapses in on itself so i tried making it a little bit larger but even this there's just so much weight so what i ended up doing is putting out support in the middle as well and this one's also loosely supported so the truck's able to hit it out and you can see here it doesn't look too bad it ends up breaking but not in a way that actually matters and the truck ends up getting over just fine hits this checkpoint after it does that you can see here it turns around and it rams into the bridge now unfortunately it just wasn't enough to hit it over but you can see it did move a little bit so i did is moved into the support a little bit so it was just slightly weaker but once i did that you can see the middle part of the bridge is just breaking right away so as you re-engineer it a little bit you can see here it's now a little bit disjointed but you can see trucker george is fine it's reverse checkpoint and here once it rams the bridge you can see it actually does break it and the whole thing falls down and this looks great with just a few extra pieces at the end here you can see it just can't get past so i actually intentionally made the bridge much weaker there so it'd disintegrate and not stay around and you can see now as it falls down ends up completely pulling away and trucks able to hit a second checkpoint so with this all i have to do is make one more bridge and i thought for sure i was pretty much good to go because it's a pretty short bridge here shouldn't be any problems at all so made it all like this you see truck ends up going across hitting the first checkpoint and then finally here as it starts to approach you can see looks good but it just can't quite hit the checkpoint the wood piece is just a little too short for the truck to get under and unfortunately i need the extra road pieces there to support the top bridge so ended up moving around some road pieces i ended up adding this dip as well hopefully get it in a little bit closer and you can see here it's so close to touching but it just couldn't do it so i ended up moving it around just a little bit and even this it slipped under just fine but somehow this didn't count as touching [Music] so finally here i ended up making the bridge much weaker and once they did this you see truck runs right into it smashes it and with that level completion but level seven here though i could just feel it getting exponentially harder so starting out here you can see roughly what we're dealing with so i need to get all three of these vehicles to the other side but you're supposed to use two separate stacked roadways in order to do it but i can't stack the roadways so i'm going to need to figure out how to do this using only one roadway and fortunately there is a spot exported in the middle after i got that put in place you can see i'm putting all the inner supports as well and i'm hoping just to get something that can stand on its own and it's pretty close to working see here reverse car gets across but it does end up breaking so i just reinforced it a little bit after that you can see here i'm putting in my single piece of wood and also a road piece hopefully just to get that school bus to fall down nicely you can see it did end up falling down but it fell right onto the limo and i almost wondered if i could use this to my advantage somehow so you see here and dude just support the other side of the bridge as well just finish it off once i have that there you can see red car goes across ends up hitting its checkpoint and you can see the limo and the school bus coming by and they're just stacked on top of each other i didn't know if that was going to be a problem but you can see here it definitely was the limo is just not strong enough to carry the school bus all the way so i needed some system to delay the school bus so that it would come after the limo and to do that you can see here i'm putting on a large chain of roads on top of the school bus and it does end up slowing it down a little bit you can see there it hesitates for a bit but unfortunately it falls down just a little too fast so added on some extra roads as well just hopefully slow it down a little bit more and you can see here it actually does work to slow it down but unfortunately it's too good and you see the limo gets all the way to the other side in the school bus and never actually gets to go so we ended up deleting one road piece and after that you see here ends up actually working out just fine limo gets across after a very long time you see school bus gets on the roadway and this should work to separate everything out now my bridge broke at the end here but i actually realized that redesign would probably be good because what i want to do is instead of going to the bottom spot i want it to go to the top and then somehow make some mechanism to get the red car and the limo to the bottom and keep the school bus on the top so you can see this sport in the middle of the bridge like this looks much better this time as well i forget that all done you can see i'm doing the one side support and finally just finished up the other side of the bridge like this so i'm still going to need some way to get the limo and the red car onto the bottom part and i was actually thinking of using a slide now the limo and the red car seemed to travel much further than the school bus so if i had this slide sort of angle them back down i was hoping it was going to be good enough to at least get them to tumble where they needed to go and you see the red car actually goes across just fine but when it hits into this thing it just breaks it immediately it does actually go back a little bit but it doesn't end up hitting its checkpoint so it reinforced it a little bit but without springs i didn't really think it was gonna be able to ever take the head but fortunately here you can see it actually did end up hitting its checkpoint flag but i still have the limo to worry about and this just gets caught on the edge here you can see so i'm gonna need another way to get this off the edge and even if i do i don't think it's gonna be able to tumble past the red car so instead of this tumbling solution i had another idea and it's sort of a trapdoor mechanism and i'm making that right here the idea is as the red car goes across it's going to shoot across and miss the whole trapdoor entirely but as the limit goes across it's a bit slower so it's hopefully going to press down a little pressure plate and lift up this little piece i put in place right now that's swinging back and forth if i do it just right it should be enough to get the school bus to go on top and hopefully make it all work so here you can see i'm putting in the second part of the trap door and this is the part that the limo is actually going to be sitting on so inside of that done i actually had to balance it on the other side as well what i wanted to do is just turned slowly there's a little bit too fast and you see here i'm putting down some more road pieces to get it to go just a little bit slower and once i have that all reinforced here's some reinforced roads gave it a shot and you'll see it's actually much slower this time and i should be able to work with this now here's where the real magic happens you see here i'm putting in a single road piece putting down the top of the trapdoor and the bottom of this rotating mechanism and what this road piece does is as the bottom part starts to rotate up it's also going to rotate the trapdoor up but it's going to rotate in the opposite direction meaning as the limo starts to fall down onto its flag this trapdoor should lift up a bit and that's what allows the bus to get through now you'll actually notice here i'm using a wood piece and i totally forgot when i was making this that i had used a wood piece earlier so i'm gonna have to go back and remove the wood piece from before and that's going to be a little painful after a lot more reinforcing i ended up getting this you see actually did end up breaking but it was just good enough here you see the limo falls down and the top part lifts up a lot more now to get the limo to stop falling off of it what i want to do is go back to my slide idea and i thought this time might work out better now at first here i was just putting down a raised platform and i figured maybe if i catch the limo a little bit higher up it won't want to fall off as easily and that actually did seem to happen here you see slowly slides down falls onto its platform and it's a little bit higher up so it just kind of catches it in the right spot now it wasn't quite tall enough so it does end up falling off entirely so i ended up raising it up a little bit and this is also where i kind of incorporated the back part of the slide like i had before you can see here the limbo comes over falls onto the slide and lifts up the top part and it actually was holding up this trapdoor pretty well you see here the bus comes through but it's just not quite high enough for the school bus to get over and it just runs right in the platform so i adjusted the slide a little bit to hopefully keep it in a little bit closer and once i did that you can see here in this test red car gets through it actually ends up missing its checkpoint a little bit so they're moving a little bit but you see a red girl comes through actually does hit his checkpoint this time limo comes through as well you see it lands on this rotating piece after it does that it just slowly slides down and holds up this road just high enough the bus is able to get through and get onto the top platform and once it is that it took a very long time like literally this had to take a minute in real time it slid all the way down though and you can see here finally the back part falls off hits the checkpoint and i beat the level and like i said before i do have one extra wood piece so i ended up having to go back just re-engineer the way that i delay the school bus and you can see here similar effects school bus runs into this long chain of roads takes a little while for it to fall once it does though goes over and it beat the level and with that level done i think i'm gonna call it for this video now we got about halfway through world two you can see here first four levels not so bad these next three are pretty tough you'll see that level eight here had some big problems so guys thanks for watching if you're looking to see part two i'll probably have that out sometime soon thanks again to our sponsor squarespace if you liked the video make sure to like the video i guess if you have any questions or comments feel free to leave
