A few weeks ago, Stephen, you were a self-professed fan of bridge architecture, yet I’m the guy schooling you in “Elefunk“?
Honestly, I had more trouble with “Elefunk”’s first level than the second. There isn’t much of a tutorial in “Elefunk,” so discovering each piece’s characteristics is left to the player.
I made the same mistake as you. The elephant starts on the left side of the chasm, so you built to ensure he could cross that first half. Once he managed that, you brought the leftover pieces to the other side and figured those pieces were all you had to work with. But no matter what you did, the elephant always fell, right?
Turn your attention back to the beginning, Stephen. Pull pieces away from the original bridge until it’s stripped to its essentials. These are the pieces you’ll need to apply to the other side in order to support the weight of the elephant and the monkeys.
Add those for extra support, and voila! You’ve finished level two in “Elefunk.”

But, Patrick, I thought we weren’t supposed to make ugly bridges. Your bridge is an eye-sore.
