A race up a bridge you build yourself. Run over the red bricks to stack them on your back, then climb: every brick is one more step. The other runners are doing the same.

Where it comes from

The brick-carrying bridge race has been one of the most played casual games on phones and on YouTube Playables: four coloured runners, a field of loose bricks and four unfinished bridges. Here it is drawn from above, and you steer with your thumb.

How to play

You are the red runner. Put your finger down and slide it: you run that way. The arrows work too.
Run over the red bricks to pick them up — they stack on your back. Bricks of other colours are not yours.
Go to the bottom of your bridge, the left lane: you climb on your own, and every brick becomes a step.
Out of bricks, you come back down for more. Steps you have built stay built.

What makes this one different

You never build the bridge on purpose: you run over the bricks of your colour and climb, and every brick on your back turns into a step. The whole game is when to go up. Climb with a short stack and you come back down for more; wait for a tall one and a rival may already be at the flag.

Bricks come back in a fixed order of colours, never at random, so nobody gets lucky with the field. The race runs on a fixed clock, and the prova checks that it ends the same way at 60 and at 120 frames a second. More stars means a longer bridge and more rivals, and at five they run as fast as you.
