I can't play Poly Bridge because I get so horny I get dizzy and can't see what I'm doing.
The tutorial is far too short with little explanation while the game gets more difficult after a few levels. Some of the levels are also poorly designed like 2-11. You will have to resort to youtube constantly to complete levels.
