      Not sure what triggers it, but there is bug, which sometimes allow you to use bridges at levels, where those are not allowed. Restarting the game fixes that bug. I've replicated that by myself once after resetting my world for a one-try-challenge.

    @shiina_mahiru_9067 2 года назад +11

    The (probable) cause for a lower score in the last one is that you make your road too short (and you once put an unnecessary converge before a diverge!) The demand from point A to point B in this game is (pre)determined by the arrow thickness, so your road needs to withstand that throughput. In particular, induced demand is not a thing in this game (which is not realistic, but I guess the developer doesn't have the knowledge to implement such a mathematical model).
