Screw Puzzle Reviews

by WingerEloh

I really like the puzzle aspect of this game, but the pure greed by the developers completely killed my enjoyment of the game. There are LONG ads after every puzzle. Plus, they found a way to put an ad in every aspect of gameplay. Want extra coins after you complete a level? Ad. Want to use an extra screw hole on a level you’re struggling with? Ad. Want to RETRY A LEVEL? Yes, even this leads to an ad. In twenty minutes of gameplay, I probably spent the majority of that time watching ads.

On top of that, resetting a level sometimes did not work at all. You spend the time to watch an ad, but the level remains at the same stage as before.

Downloading this game was a complete waste of time.

over and over and over again. Sometimes every other puzzle!
Ridiculous. Also, very few puzzles (1 in 10, maybe) are truly challenging (solvable with the existing layout without resorting to tools or ads); the bulk of them are either stupid easy, or require busting screws out - the latter are okay, I suppose, but getting the same puzzle again and again and again and again…you get the picture…takes ALL of the challenge out. VERY disappointing, especially as this is one of the rare games that’s actually accurately depicted in its ads. Oh well…

I had rated this 5 stars… that is, until I got to level 31 and learned that there is literally no way to beat the level without using ‘cheat’ items. You end up watching a couple dozen ads, restarting the level over and over, to try to figure out the solution, just to realize there isn’t one. Why does it seem that many developers these days have such low ethical standards? You have a great game here - just make good levels that can be beaten and I’d be happy to put up with the ads (and would be happy to buy the full version). But there’s no way I’m keeping an app on my phone that feels this scammy - what are they running in the background while I’m playing the game? I’m deleting it, and I recommend you don’t download it.

I have been enjoying the game. I play the free version so it does have ads. I don’t mind the ads. However, today an add popped up for a product that touted the product would “cure COPD.” This was not an FDA approved medication, thus it violates the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. This type of marketing is illegal because there is a very real potential that someone might use the product and not seek medical advice or medical treatment. I’ve taken screen shots of the ad and am reporting the product to the FDA so they can take action. However, this seems to be the only way to contact ScrewPuzzle developer who hosted the ad. Thus, I am leaving a one star review as I am upset that ScrewPuzzle does not ensure that the ads that they host comply with applicable laws and do not endanger their customers.

Obviously there are gonna be a TON of ads on a game like this, but what could have been a fun puzzle game was ruined the first time you get to a puzzle that is mathematically impossible to complete without power ups. Sure they give you a few free power up in the beginning, but this means that there WILL come a time where the only way to complete the level is to pay for it, and I’m not going to waste my time finding out when.

-the impossible puzzle came when there were plates with 8 screws but the puzzle only gives you 5 free holes. You’re left with three screws in the plate no matter how you arrange it, and three is too many to allow any kind of tilting of the plate to reveal additional holes. You HAVE to use the bomb power up to remove screws to complete the level.

It is too many things that needs ads in this game like today I was having a bad day so I got on here to relax but immediately right once I cut in, I was brought into an ad not that bad, but I still was a little frustrated and then I was on a level it had two holes that I needed to watch an ad to open them. It made me even more mad and once I got rid of one of the screws and put them in the only hole that was open I got another ad and this time it never let me skip it then, once I beat the level, I was brought up two more ads, which of course made me mad and again I got to the next level and of course another hole needed to be opened by an ad. This is why I’m deleting the game and while I write this, I am mad but you see after I delete the game I will feel better.

by Sneeky777555

Eventually you run into unbeatable levels which require purchased tools such as screwdriver or bomb to beat, there is no solution that dose not involve using them. Not sure if the levels are the same for everyone but my level 75 has 4 holes total, and a rectangle with three screws in it which block three of the four holes. I can move one screw away to the extra hole but I still have a rectangle with two screws in it and no place to move them. It’s not that there is an answer I’m not seeing, it’s impossible with out watching an ad which I already paid not to view. Wish I could get a refund for purchasing ad block for this game because they make you watch them anyway to skip or beat levels with no solution. Would not recommend any of their games and will not be playing any of them in the future. What a cool game idea you had here that you totally ruined by being greedy. You don’t deserve my money but you have it anyway because I’m a fool who thought this game looked good.

by CATSARENUMBER1!

Wow. Wow wow wow wow WOW! And not the good kind in the slightest. I was on a level, and I realized I had ten seconds to complete the level. I had on more bolt to unscrew, and as it dropped, it said, “Times out you lost!” WOW!!!!!! TAKE OUT THIS SILLY SILLY TIMER!!!! GIVE US ENOUGH TIME TO COMPLETE THIS SILLY GAME!!!!! IF I DON’T RECIVE A RESPONSE, IM DELETING THIS SILLY GAME!!! And if you think I’m being a Karen, I’m not like this irl. Please don’t waste your time. If your fine with ADDS TO GET ONE TINY HOLE, then FINE, download this game and deal with adds. If your fine with being happy your about to beat a hard level, and then you run out of time, FINE!!!! I just beg the developers to TAKE AWAY THE SILLY SILLY SILLY TIMER!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡Thank you.

I paid for the ad free version of this game because everyday a pop up ad would say a new version was available and like a dummy I’d click it and that ad would be for a different game. I played close to 400 levels and liked the game a lot, but they updated, increased the price of in game objects (screwdrivers are now three times the price), made the puzzles harder and the game is very not fun. The in game ads are now minutes long, I’ve seen the same ads in other games that are skippable after a few seconds and about half as long if you watch the full thing.

But they got my money out of me, and then changed the game I had bought. Don’t be dumb like me, don’t download this game.

by WordL8ty

Only download if you really, really love ads!

In spite of the ads, this game was a lot of fun in the very beginning.
Because of that I paid to remove the ads…
Which worked only for an hour or so before returning to the same multitude of ads as before!

I hit the “restore” button, contacted ScrewPuzzle , and even rebooted my phone… to no avail.

And the ads are not the type that are easily dismissed like many games have. No, these often take many many steps. With one recent ad I had to hit the “done” button more than 20 times before exiting the game with the ad still playing!!!

As I said, the game was fun in the beginning. However, it didn’t take long before I confronted an impossibly difficult puzzle! Obviously, you can’t put a screw into a hole that is not properly aligned… but after many attempts, now it won’t even let me put a screw into either of two perfectly clear/empty holes!!!

Years ago I scored a 90% in a mechanical aptitude test… trust me, its not me; its a badly designed app!!!

Could have been fun.
But it is NOT!

by Allnicknamestaken100000000

The game would be super fun BUT level 1 has 1 screw. Literally after a full minute of that annoying King “whoooa help me whoooa” that is on EVERY game then we get to a rate this game! Well weeedoggies it’s fun! We haven’t played it enough to know! Then we get one more quick second or two round and here comes another AD! Then somewhere around round 4 we get the option to go AD free for 3.99! I haven’t had enough fun with the game to spend money yet. How about playing a few more rounds then bombard us with ADs and then ask for money.

by Bestinlife9098

I hate ads so it really hard for me to find games in the ad I saw this game from it looked really fun but just like every other game ads! Almost every 10-15 seconds and every time you open ScrewPuzzle guess what did you get it it’s an AD!
And two 3.99 TO REMOVE ADS?!?!?! Are you crazy I will not spend 4 dollars for a game I will beat in a month
3 the levels are so so so easy I thought I would have to think a little no it’s one click two clicks yes! I figured it out IN TWO BUTTONS
definitely needs a lot of work

by No_hard_feeling_love🥲

The game start to repeat levels after the 30th level. You technically just start the game over. Too many ads. Every time I pressed restart on a level I would get an ad. Some ads weren’t skip able and no the redo button didn’t have an ad icon next to it (meaning I didn’t have to watch an ad to redo a level) I recommend instead of pressing redo just close and reopen ScrewPuzzle . Also some of the levels can’t be completed without watching ads. I encountered 2lvls like that. I did everything possible to not watch the ads but it was impossible.

by Clyde Loves You

I know a lot of games have ads but this is seriously on another level. When you OPEN THE GAME, you immediately see an ad. When you finish a level, you get an ad. When you redo a level, every single time, you get an ad. I’ve gotten an ad after clicking on a LOW POWER NOTIFICATION. Is that not ridiculous???? Not to mention the levels that are quite literally unbeatable without using an ad to unlock another hole or getting rid of a screw. It’s quite literally pay to win just disguised through ads rather than out of your own money. Ridiculous

by June Shelton

At first the game really isn’t that bad, aside from an ad every once in a while, but some of the levels are literally impossible if you don’t watch an ad. They just keep popping up over and over, for the shorter levels it takes maybe 20 seconds to beat, then you get a 30 second ad right after??? And if you want to restart, you have to watch ANOTHER ad. It’s awful, no good unless you enjoy suffering, or are willing to pay $4 for a week or so of occasional gameplay. 👎👎👎👎

by NickyO419

This game has an incredible idea with the puzzle idea and the graphics look amazing, but the game is RUINED because of ADS!!! First of all, the game is already ad-centric with multiple ads being played here and there throughout levels. Plus it costs not one, not two, but FOUR DOLLARS to remove ads, which is just absurd! The real ticket that makes this game horrible is that its LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE without ads. Even when you remove ads, you need to UNLOCK EXTRA HOLES BY WATCHING AN AD!!! WHAT KIND OF SICK JOKE IS THAT!!??? Plus there are levels that you have to manually buy items that the level is impossible without. I WISH you can refund money because this game is an absolute SCAM!!! DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME!!!! Ignore all those 4-5 star reviews that say it’s great, because they don’t know the truth of the ads. SCREW (get it?) THIS GAME FOR BEING GREEDY! >:(

by I Have Nine Toes

Looked like a fun concept, but soooo many ads and you can’t play offline at all. The first 7 or 8 levels were so easy but I spent more time watching ads than actually playing. Ads in the MIDDLE OF A LEVEL! Did I mention it had a lot of ads? If you love ads, this is your game! You can watch ads all day long and maybe knock out 2 or 3 levels an hour between ads. Save yourself a ton of frustration and delete ScrewPuzzle before you even download it. The only reason it gets 1-star is because the concept COULD be cool, if there weren’t so many ads.

by Gabethejudge

To bad for anyone at this point

by Oddtrack

Averages 3 ads for 10 seconds of gameplay on a very mediocre game (and that’s being generous).

Your mediocre game content corresponds to an ad value of maybe 1 every 5 minutes, or less, so your ad utilization is at least 30 times over leveraged, which ruins what little the gameplay has to offer.

After a 2 minutes of gameplay, I was done.

by Family First 1000

TOO MANY ADS!

by Always1working

EVERY REMOVAL OF A SCREW YOU GET AN ADVERTISEMENT I’M SURE THE BUSINESS WANTS TO MAKE MONEY BUT THIS AMOUNT OF ADVERTISING IS EXTREMELY UNCALLED FOR. I WOULD NOT PLAY ANY OF THE GAMES WITH SCREW REMOVAL. THE ADVERTISEMENT IS TO MUCH. I WOULD GIVE A -10 STAR ON THIS GAME BECAUSE OF ADVERTISEMENTS

by Mpersicojr

Don’t buy ScrewPuzzle. You still get ads!

by Upset Of No Ad

Bonus round ads are tooo long. Put a damper in playing games

by Hates Lies

Ads are just outright lies. Said no wifi required, great car game. Ummm. Nope! Deleting. I hate deceptive ads.

by Monk 453

This is a complete waste of time. All you do is watch ad after ad . Don’t waste your time with this.

by NicknameNothing1

After every board you play, there’s an Ad. Even during one game, when you remove a screw, there’s a tiny blue play button inside the hole where you need to tap to place the screw. Once you tap it to put the screw there an ad is played because you didn’t have a choice other than tapping that screw hole. It’s annoying. I downloaded it today and deleted it today.

by Dog235

Way too many ads, and looks like even if you do pay the $4.00 to get rid of them, you’ll still need to watch ads to play the game.

by QueenGSA1

I just got the game. Two levels in and the ads pop up. Are you serious? Can’t even get to level 5 before they come around? Screw that. You have been deleted.

by Jzachary

ScrewPuzzle represents everything wrong with the current iOS eco system. It’s a terrible implementation of a unity template. You have to watch an ad just to launch the game. You can’t play offline. The puzzles are solvable by a toddler with head trauma. The fact that this has so many glowing reviews just shows the developer bought user reviews. This developer should be banned from any future submissions. It’s free, yet I feel owed a refund.

by OrangutanLuvrr

This is outrageous. I just got ScrewPuzzle and there are ads popping up as the ad said it would not have any. I would love for this to change and for this to be better, definitely uninstalling.

by A Lost Download

I open the game and immediately
get slapped on the face with an ad after the ad privacy policy comes up i accept them and then it shows the daily rewards and it doesnt work i tap and tap with no success so how about a delete.

by LizzardBug

I just downloaded ScrewPuzzle, and I can’t even play it. The ads pop up, I can exit them. But when they go away, it’s stuck on the “claim daily reward” thing and I can’t press anything. At all. I was excited to play but I guess oh well.

by XSinHosiex

Another AD simulator disguised as a game. Yes they can claim you can purchase the disable ADS but what You have to now do that for every AD simulator disguised as a game? If we keep accepting this then every mobile game will become another garbage product. Mobile games are not games just ad and cash apps disguised as a game. Avoid at all cost.

by J0K3R_187

I understand that some games need ads to generate money. But there’s a point of taking advantage of the players. This game is one of those. Game play was starting to be fun but seriously too many ads. Not even 5 minutes in and I’ve watched more ads time than play time. I deleted the game. So if you love commercials then this is the game for you!

by Kaionakai

The game looks interesting however I do not appreciate being forced to watch ads every round in order to see if I like it enough to pay 4 dollars. They even stick ads into some of the rounds of play if you want to pick a certain hole for the screw.

I REFUSE TO BE FORCED INTO PAYING FOR A GAME UNTIL I HAVE A CHANCE TO SEE IF THE CHALLENGE IS RIGHT FOR ME. AND I WONT WATCH YHE STUPID ADS EVERY 30 SECONDS TO FIND OUT.

DELETING GAME BECAUSE OF THIS REASON.

by MEofPA

Seriously - I’m spending more time watching ads than I am actually playing the game. I make a mistake, restart the puzzle - you need to watch an ad first. You complete the puzzle, then you need to watch another ad. You make a mistake - watch an ad. You make another mistake, watch another ad.

by Marlbard

I like ScrewPuzzle, if there were not so many ads. I might have purchased the No Ads, if it were my choice, but you try to push people to pay for No ads. Bad choice- most people will delete and move to another app rather than be forced to pay for no ads.
I am deleting ScrewPuzzle.

by GavtheFrogdog

There are even ads in the middle of a game. It’s ridiculous. The game would actually be okay if you ever got to play it. 👎

by A123K456

The good: This game is actually really challenging in a good way. It kept me engaged and was a fun, addicting concept. Gave it 2 stars for that.

The bad: The ads were rough. Some were over a minute long, others were for literally the same game. The worst part of the ads was that you’d be a minute into an ad and it would freeze, and you had to restart ScrewPuzzle and lose progress on a level.

The worst: I was several levels in and finally got through a level I’d been stuck on for over a day, and the game glitched and took me back to level 1. I couldn’t restore my progress. That was the last straw and I deleted it.

by RhysieDarling

When I downloaded this game from an ad, I didn't think I'd see an ad every 10-15 seconds. There's an ad after every level, and every few levels you'll get a pop-up asking to pay $3.99 to remove them.
It's obvious that they just want money and they'll get it via ad revenue or through you.

Game itself is what it is. A time waster. Good for playing if you're bored.. Good graphics. No lag. No super bright colors. Very easy on the eyes.

by Gamer3123

It’s a good puzzle concept with some challenging levels, but there’s no way to replay a level or toggle between already solved levels to play again. No learning or skill building, just play the level or watch an ad to skip it with no turning back. Too simplistic. The worst though- ads embedded in the actual puzzles (I mean, really? Do you actually think people watch all of these ads?!), and the worst- absolutely disgusting soft porn ads for another puzzle game, which come up frequently. I deleted this game immediately- I’m not going to be subjected to soft porn for the sake of an overly simplistic, ad factory of a game. This is an app rated for children to play and you’ll allow them to see things like that? Shame on you! I’ll be avoiding your apps from now on.

by G_A_H

I downloaded it and started playing. I was enjoying it but there were too many ads. I paid the $3.99 for ad free, but that apparently only applies to ads in between levels, not truly ad free. Like if you want to open the extra screw holes, you have to watch ads. And the ads are horribly long… like a minute and a half each (sometimes it doesn’t even count it as watching, and you have to do it all over again, so now you are watching 3 minutes of videos 🤦🏻‍♂️) I could maybe overlook if they were 15-30 seconds, but I get bored playing after such long ads.

by Rmysels

After every level is an ad, which is usually normal, but some levels only take a few seconds so you can get like ten ads in about a two minute period. Also when I swipe down for my control panel I get an ad. If I’m listening to music some ads will stop the music but when I swipe for the control panel to resume my music it makes an ad come up and they will repause my music. It puts me in a loop, I can I either close ScrewPuzzle and reopen or just not play my music. Also you cannot play thing game without an internet connection and that is strictly because they want to get paid from ads you watch. There is no aspect of the game that requires internet, just ads.

by Areyoushattingme

I started playing like 2 minutes ago and guess how many minutes have been playing? Exactly 5 seconds. The very first level. And how many ads for that time? 5 ads. 2 were relatively easy to get out of, but the others weren't.
Every single tap leads to another ad. It won't let you play without wifi, there are many compulsory things you can't get out of that lead you to ads (eg. A daily sign-in for coins, the "next level" button), and the levels are not hard enough to be worth the ads in the beginning.
This game could be fun I think, but I can't get past the ads.
I hope the 5 ads you got me to watch were worth it, game creator (s)!

by Vhkkgkjghjkvgjkvjgkvgjk

On the ads it says “No internet required” but when I put it to the test on airplane mode it says internet is required. Ads after every level. 2/5 stars.

by Jen YY

RIDICULOUS! Not a bad game, but absolutely NOT WORTH IT! You will spend two or three times as much time sitting through ads as you do playing the game!

by Craxin01

While the game isn’t bad, it’s fairly standard as far as free games go, it IS totally repetitive. After completing less than a hundred puzzles, it started over. The puzzle number kept going up, but it was just repeating puzzles I had already completed. Maybe good for an afternoon, just don’t expect much if you get it.

by Elsarm101

After paying to see no ads, you have to get their rewards by seeing ads. And the puzzles can not be finished without the needed rewards. Why pay to not see ads when you have to see them for the puzzles to be solvable

by Gjgsjsgjekgek

Because Level 25 is no harder than Level 1, this means you blow through the level fast only to get to the next ad! Wouldn’t it be nice if you actually got to play for more than 4 seconds before the next ad! Even a ratio of a couple minutes of game play to one ad would not be that bad! On the positive, the game idea is great, but you should be able to get to harder levels faster and not be stuck in an eternity of easy puzzles and therefore the next ad ever present.

by DesertFl0w3r

Not a bad game in the beginning. but after buying the in-app no-ads option, it kept showing me ads between levels. I wouldn’t buy it again, specially because after certain level it’s just more of the same.

by Ramills08

Fun concept, but issues with game play - some levels are impossible without using a special item, and issues with alignment of holes when there shouldn’t be. So rather than using your brain to solve a puzzle, it feels rigged against you. And too many ads, as others have said.

by Mdgannis

Would give this a five, however the ad time is literally 10 times the length as the level being played. There is ads between every level, and if you need a particular hole, it makes you watch another ad. Really too bad because the game is great, but the ad time is making me hate it

by RayNayPC

This game is a lot of fun. And it would get 5 stars had it not been for all the ads. I was soooo thrilled when I first started, as there was maybe an ad at the completion of about every 3 levels, I can deal with that. Then once I hit probably level 10 or so…the ads came after every single level. When the actual level only lasts a minute or so, & there’s ads between each one, that’s annoying. I watch more ads than I do playing the actual game 🙄. And it’s like $4 to not have ads which is high compared to other games. Such a shame.

by Jadeer.45

When I started playing the game it was fun, but every time I would either pass a level or restart there would be ads. So you pretty much can’t even complete a level without watching ads the higher up you get. For example, when I got to around level 30, I couldn’t even pass a level without watching five ads.

by P.C. Haring

I love the concept of this game. It had great physics and it is fun. I’d love to rate this much higher than I did.

But…

Every few levels there are puzzles that are impossible to complete… unless you use one of the in game helps. These helps can be bought with in game currency, but eventually the currency will run out.

And the game designers know that because when I get to one of those levels, there is a “helpful” hand icon pointing to the help button that I need to finish. Oddly enough, this hand is not present on any of the other levels. Just the impossible ones.

I don’t care that it’s just in game currency. I don’t like being forced to use a helper, boost, or power up just to progress.

Sorry but this is an uninstall for me.

by Shangwangy

Another fun game ruined by ads. I’m erasing this game after this review because of the obscene amount of ads. When you start off, it only takes a few seconds to solve each puzzle and at the end of every puzzle there is another ad so in a matter of a few minutes, you have had to watch numerous ads in order to keep playing. No thanks

by Lisa7311173

Greetings, I would like to share some feedback regarding this game, Screw Puzzle. The reason I gave it a 2 star review is because you guys need to fix many issues. I apologize if this is offensive, but unfortunately, it is true. Here is one 1️⃣. Ads. So many. I downloaded this game 60 secs ago and I seriously saw, believe me, 6 ADS ALREADY!! And on the ad that I saw of this game,, oh,, it said there was NO ADS! IF YOU SAW THAT AD OF THIS GAME, IT IS A GIANT SCAM! SCAM! SCAM!hate it…… Also VERY GLITCHY. ok tysm for reading and bye.

by 20182018ki

I’m use to playing games with ads I get it BUT in order for me to use a whole in the actual game play I have to watch an ad NO so on one level you watch an ad before playing during playing and after playing I played a few levels and couldn’t take it you can’t enjoy the game because their is an ad ever 2 seconds gave itself is fine but change the amount of ads and looked in reviews even if I purchase the no ads I would still have to watch one to use the open hole I would need during game play so what’s the point

by Hatepylons

Overall, the game is a great way to burn some time and use your noggin a bit.

But, the advertisements. Even after you paid to remove them they’re still prevalent in the board game itself. What really bothers me is after you’ve already paid to remove ads, 20-ish levels later it gives you the option to remove them again for another $3.99

But if you ignore it and move onto the next level, the ads are (still) gone.

As an experiment the next time that popped up I clicked “Remove Ads” and it was going to allow me to pay another $3.99. No warning that I already paid once and I didn’t need to pay again. 🤬👎

Due to ethics alone, I’m going to uninstall.

by TheSquidopus

This game would be excellent but omg the ads. Ads before you play. Ads between rounds. Ads in-game to utilize all the screw holes. I loathe games that you spend more time watching ads than actually playing. Poor execution.

by Fireline Coyote

Unfortunately the long time spent on adds really cuts into the short time spent figuring out the puzzles. Some of the combinations actually are challenging, where the seemingly obvious solution ends up locking the level up.

by Justin "juiceman"

There are more ads than any game I've ever played on my phone. Before every level, after every level, every time you hit restart, and in level ads. Took me 5 min to delete the game and 4 min of that "play time" was spent watching ads. So stupid!

by Lord Of The Barbies

The game itself is fun but what makes it not fun is the amount of ads. I know a lot of reviews are mostly complaining about the ads but they aren’t wrong. Every time I complete a round there’s an ad and every so seconds there’s an ad.

by Julzzz06

This game is really fun so I decided to pay the fee to remove the ads. At first it removed the ads that popped up between levels, but I still had to watch an ad if I wanted to get the extra space in each level. This was a little annoying, but I shrugged it off because it was still fewer ads than I was getting before. However, less than a day later I started getting ads between levels again. As if I hadn't purchased anything. I've requested a refund and hope it goes through. Don't fall into this trap. It doesn't remove all the ads, and doesn't even last a day.

by Bubblicious!!!

What a great game! A true puzzle indeed. Easy-Peasy through the first 35 levels. Then you really have to think about how the slats will fall, will holes get covered up, will you have enough holes for future moves. Definitely could be loads of challenging fun, however, there’s an ad between every game (no probs) and you have a limited amount of time to solve (ok). If you don’t solve it in time, another annoying ad to restart the game. OR, you can get 30 more seconds of game time to continue. If you choose to add 30 seconds, you guessed it, watch another ad! So the harder the game gets, the more ads you have to watch to finish the level you’re on. Takes ALL the fun out of the game. Great game, ad inundating, uninstalling and finding a similar app without the bombardment of ads.

by Cali Monkey 1279

When I read all the reviews, I saw most of the complaints were about the ads. I don’t know if the people writing those have never played a mobile game before but this game was average in the ad way. This game is pretty easy and the levels go by really fast, but I don’t think the developers made enough levels because eventually they start repeating. Once I got the same level two times in a row. I read one review about how they hid an ad button in one of the holes but when I downloaded the game, the ad was taking up half the hole so I don’t know if that person just has bad eyesight but I always saw the button. It is really easy to gain money and screwdrivers (which can be really useful) and that makes this game more fun. On another note, most levels are really easy but the others need to have a power up to be beaten. Earlier, I was playing this game and I found a really hard level (those are hard to come across) so I got kind of excited. But after about 10 retries, I realized the level was not possible. I was forced to buy a screwdriver to free up some of the holes. Overall good game but there are still a few things that need working on.

by Kindron Darkfire

The game has great features . It doesn’t have two part levels like so many similar games. The game has a lot of potential but that gets ruined by some very big flaws.

However, the timer limits you and is a pathetic way to add artificial difficulty. This game also commits the mobile gaming sin of having forced ads and ads for getting items, which is unnecessary no matter the game and is just the game trying to gauge as much ad money as they can. Games that do this ad unnecessary ads to try and force you to buy their stupid ad removal option. And if you mention it, the companies claim the ads are all necessary when they’re not. If people are forced to watch ads, they don’t watch ads for items.

However, all of that could be forgiven if not for the last and worst flaw: the game reuses levels over and over again. It’s not even subtle and it happens so early in the game. It’s not like I made it 1000 levels in and they have repeating layouts. I started noticing it around level 150, and that was after I confirmed the same layouts complete with the same color boards in the level.

This is an interesting game, but it suffers from too many ads. There is one after every level. Just 5 or 6 levels in to the game and I’m ready to quit. I understand ad supported apps, but you need to keep the user interested enough to continue playing. That way you will get the ad viewership. Maybe have an add pop up only every third or maybe even fifth level. In the long run, you will get more ad views…and engaged players.

The ads ofc are annoying but I can’t handle a few ads it’s the fact that some levels you have to use a special like the bomb or the screw, usually you save things like that if you made a mistake and you don’t wanna redo the whole level but some of these levels are literally impossible unless you use them so if you have none you can’t beat the level it’s really dumb

Great game that I could easily get sucked into, but one of the ads keeps causing me to ‘app kill’ the game and reopen it. The Tower Color-Hit and crash ad doesn’t close with the ‘x’ button.

I have had this game for a bit now, and i do enjoy it. I saw an ad for it and thought, “Why not? It looks fun”. And it is but there are way too many ads!! After a few levels they make you watch an ad for an empty hole for a screw. Plus, before, after and during the game there are ads! Don’t get me wrong, i love the actual game, but why do there need to be sooo many ads?! If the developers of this game took out the ads, or most of them, this would be a VERY popular game….

This puzzle can be a lot of fun. However, there are times where you have to use the help items in order to complete a level. I believe you should be able to complete a level using all of your brain power if you desire rather than having to use help items, even though I have to watch an ad or pay points using those items for me is like cheating I prefer doing it myself without having to use the help items.

Way too many ads, you spend more time watching ads than you do playing. You can exit out of most of the ads but it’s still annoying, an ad pops up almost every time you complete a puzzle. Also, I played to level thirty and the puzzle didn’t really get any harder. If you don’t mind ads popping up and not much of a challenge then this game is for you!

by Karen To The 2nd Power

This is a good game all in all. Way to many ads, especially seeing as to on level 5 they put an ad in the hole. But if you’re actually good enough, you can get around having to use those holes. It is regularly against my policy to write a positive review, but I do enjoy this game. But as I always say… Do Better.

Once I got to level 100 it started repeating. So please developers do anything in your power just to make it a little more challenging. Thank you

Not that bad but it’s just so easy like why won’t they
Make it harder like why? Do not recommend but
Kinda fun.

Ok so I just bought this game about 1 day ago but the add I watched said it was no adds and a no wifi game. When I went in to the car it said no connection and when I clicked "OK" it did not load. And there were a bunch of adds e everytime I went to a different level it had a add.

by SU903

I love this game only problem I have with it is I’m on level 605 and I’ve played the same things over and over I wish they would come up with more puzzles instead of using the same ones it’s a good game just wish there was an actual new puzzle as you play.

by Caia2468

First, it’s a good, enjoyable game. Relaxing and challenging. I have even
enjoyed enough to purchase the no ads option. But there are a couple of thing that need to be changed. And a couple more that should be.

First the two that NEED to be changed:

- every level should absolutely be solvable with out a boost. Make them hard enough to consider a boost, but don’t require them. However, I do love that you allow enough coins through game play to buy the boosts. That’s a plus.

I love the challenge of thinking it through and working through a hard level, but it’s frustrating to find that it’s not solvable own it’s own. I don’t even mind the ad extra holes.

- the frenetic, frantic hand pointing at the boosts. I get it. I can use a boost but the pointing insane bouncing little hand is so distracting to the game. This drives me nuts.

Should change (nice to have)

- the ability to undo moves vs starting over would be lovely. Even if it’s just one or two per game.

Thanks for attending my grumpy Ted talk.

Overall it’s a fun lovely game and I appreciate it.

I was shocked when I found out that this game doesn’t have ads! The whole time I was playing I was thinking about how the ad about this game how it says “no ads” and that’s true! I’ve been playing this game more than any other game which is pretty surprising cause I have a different app that’s pretty good but to say the least, this is a pretty slay app. PEACE OUT HOPE YOU LIKE MY REVIEW!!!

This is a different part and after I’ve been playing for awhile I started getting more and more ads and something I didn’t realize is that the whole time there was an option to remove all ads but why do you need that if there is supposedly no ads??!

by 1stCeye

I just started playing…ten minutesago, bearing in mind the comments about ads. [Its spelled. ADS. adds is what you do in math class, ok?]

**Level 5 , I was shocked! They found a way to put an extra ad into the game play!! Now understand that I really like this game; it’s challenging and fun! But I went to put a screw into an empty hole….THE HOLE HAD A ▶️ (green, of course!) in it….REALLY…HOW ANNOYING! Right now, I trying to decide if I like this game enough to keep playing {I HATE ADS} or give this up as another annoyance game!
**As I said, I like this game, but ads before and after every level; now ads IN the game…I wish you would remove the in game ‘screw holes’ ads! I’m asking nicely. Please remove these ad invitations….not really; you HAVE to watch them to play….that breaks my concentration! I’m deciding……

by Okc28guy

Not a bad game but I am on level 82 and they are still basic beginner level games. Not as many ads as others and mostly they are shorter too

So now I am looking for a new screw game

by English Speajer 890

I like the game but is like other screw games, nothing special. I know that you can opt out of ads if you PAY MONEY. But the ratio of time of the ads to actual game play is unacceptable. I know that others won’t see my review. This is for the site manager. I’m quitting because of the ads.

by Ljc0813

It is a fun game to play. However, it starts to repeats after level 100. Then it’s boring.

by 667_013

Have you ever wanted to play a game just about ads? Well this is for you!!!
Welcome to this game where theres so many ads, it might as well just be another spam app on your phone! Do you actually want to play this game? Well that’s unfortunate because by the second you get to, you will get bombarded with ad after ad! So fun an entertaining!!!!
And make sure to pay them for no ads so you can get even more ads!!!

(Would give 0 stars if possible. Giving 5 just so my review doesn’t get deleted ❤️)

by Auntie AdiWest

I find this fun and oddly satisfying to watch the pieces fall off the board. Challenging but not frustrating. Sometimes ad pop ups in between lvls but the kind that give you the option to X off after 5 secs. Only thing that frustrates me at all is that some lvls you just cannot beat without using the “gimme” space (which requires watching an ad). I don’t mind the ad part of it, I just like to beat games without using “power ups” & this one seems to have some lvls you just have to use the “free space power up” for. Just a particular preference though. Overall great game, simple concept for high fun!

by Drxxmxrstxr

It’s a very fun yet challenging it has absolutely no ads. I don’t think and it does not require Wi-Fi so it’s basically like if you went on a road trip and some other games are very boring. This would be the game to play. Most other games with no Wi-Fi are kind of boring not gonna lie and the fun games almost all have ads that are free. OMG, like, I totally know it says for four year olds and older, but to me, it's, like, good for all ages as it, like, sharpens your mind and is, like, so calming yet stressful lol (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎) ♡

by Miss Cocoa Baby

So far I’m pretty happy that the ads are minimal because I’ve played versions of this game where literally you beat the game in 15 to 30 seconds and then you have to watch one and a half minute ads between each round and then you have to watch one minute ads for every booster they require you to use in order to finish the puzzle. so far this has not been that experience. so for that I think I have found the one I will switch to, but I will keep you posted in case things change when you get up in levels

by Norah5386

I’ve only been play for a couple weeks and I’m obsessed. The game has good graphics and barely any ads. It’s oddly satisfying when you remove a screw and the pieces fall off the board. It’s challenging but not frustrating. I love how you get a mix of hard and easy levels. It’s also just like the ads say. There’s a bunch of levels to compete and you don’t just finish it in a couple hours. The best part is you don’t need Wi-Fi to play. Very fun I have subject playing. I was reading some reviews and they’re lying about the ads the game HAS BARELY ANY ADS.

by Breelove48

This games is awsome I love it makes you use you noggin aka brain aka head and think before making the moves like we all should do in life all the time not just some times!

by RoyalDogsoccer53

Yes I LOVE this game but there add lied it says NO ONE CAN PASS level 2 when I’m on 52

by Sub To Fire Killer On Yt

Super addicting game. I got ScrewPuzzle and I started playing around 10 am and next thing I knew it was 2 pm. It is both fun and it is like a puzzle. Now most people when they read the reviews of this game may say “ wow this game has a lot of ads”. But they do not force ads. If you watch a ad then you knew that you would.

by Jaypiv

Yes there are a ton of ads, almost after every level and you have to watch them to rewind or open a space. If you don’t mind and only play a few levels then it’s great. If I need a rewind I just put the phone down and wait.

However I am stuck on Level 92 as the ad to advance won’t play properly and I can’t close it. Happens now and then but this time it’s bad.
