Wood Nuts: Screw Puzzle Reviews

by GelidusNatalia

Tried to play this game and enjoy it but way too many ads. There would be an ad at the bottom of the screen always, and an ad that pops up randomly blocking half of the screen in the middle of the round causing you to either accidentally click on it or have to panic to close it to finish the game in time. The “x” to close the ad is really small so most times you end up clicking the ad itself trying to close it and get taken out of WoodNuts . The point that made me finally uninstall was opening the game to 3 of the banner ads, back to back.
I was also hoping this game would be relaxing and not timed. If there was a version of this game where there’s no timer and just comes down to finishing the game in a number of moves or no requirement at all for total relaxing it would be so much better. So even the ad for this game was misleading….

by NeniMorgan

No time limit 🥳thank you so many much 😍🥰 love the game❣️💓💕💞💖 I am changing my review to one star because I read in your description that you had no time limits but then when I got down to a certain level your game started timing me, I thought you said you did not have time limits so you could just relax and play as you wanted. I love to play these screw and bolt games, but I do not like to be TIMED, I like to sit and relax and figure out which ones is going to work without being timed. Fix this and I will go back to playing it again, I don’t even mind watching the ads it’s just being TIMED I hate. or give us a choice in the settings if we want to be timed or not.

Only played one complete game actually part of the complete game. When a hold I needed was blocked unless I saw an ad. The ad was long and it almost impossible to close. So you can’t even play a game without it being interrupted. Ironically the ad was for another wood screw game from another company. I hear they’re worse. I don’t mind having ads for a free game but you should be able to play the game without being interrupted or stopped. Better games let you play a game before they put an ad on, sometimes in order to go to the next level. Even better when it’s background. This way it’s like you’re trapped and can’t even play the game. Not worth the time. One of my favorite companies has it free up to a point and then you can decide if you’re going to buy the game for a reasonable price that makes sense

I literally just started playing this game today. I am on level six. I have had to close out twice now because the annoying ad at the bottom will not close and blocks game play. I had tried another similar game and had to delete it on level 4. This game was better compared to that one. It’s a shame that the developers would choose to have ads at the bottom that block the entire bottom portion during timed game play anyway. Especially since players still have forced ads and the option to watch ads for another try or for more time. Deleting on such a low level should make the developers re-think having ads at the bottom but I seriously doubt it.

by Gprof

Gameplay is fine, but AFTER paying to remove ads there are incessant, long ads. Undo a move? Ad. Need more time? Ad. Remove a screw? Ad. Apply a skin you already earned by gaining points? Ad. The timers are set so that there is no real time to think and ads are inevitable. Expect an ad for every couple of minutes of gameplay AFTER paying to remove ads. Would be a very nice game if the developer would let you play it after paying. Would prefer an option for no timers.

by Marsha Wolf

This game is a lot like the other game( that has the same name without the word wooden in it). I REALLY wish I could go lower than 1 star! This game is annoying because the ads pop up right in the middle of the screen blocking your view of the game as well as preventing you from being able to continue to play the game. To make things worse, you can’t get the ad to go away & the clock(for your time to beat the puzzle)is STILL counting down! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME DOWNLOADING THIS GAME(in fact, I’m going to delete this game as soon as I finish & post this review)!

by But Works (sort Of)

Simply way too many ads. Every single powerup - and you usually need about half a dozen to get through most “hard” rounds - requires watching an ad which ranges from 30 to over 75 seconds, many of which require multiple rounds of interaction to complete. I even paid $5 for the “remove ads” option - it only removes the pop-up banner ads (which as often as not freeze up the game requiring you to hard quit and restart), but the ads to gain powerups are still 30-75 seconds.

Save your money on the “remove ads” since it does little to improve the experience.

Oh, and I have tens of thousands of points, but for the life of my I can’t figure out how to redeem them for anything. They seem totally useless, and the only way you can get any bonus items is by paying cash.

Don’t waste your time, and certainly don’t waste your money.

by Feliciah3

I wouldn’t get this game because the ads keep popping up in the middle of playing the game and they don’t even give you enough time to finish the level because you can’t see it because the ads take up half of the level so you spend more time getting rid of the ad then completing the level……I usually don’t write reviews but this one game is annoying because of the ads and I actually wanted to play the game…..but all the ads and there not being enough time because your focusing on getting the ads off the screen so you can actually play the game…..sorry

by Mary341976

I happen to like these types of games. But when an ad that is supposed to be a banner ad. But it takes up half the screen and you can’t even play the game because it will not minimize down to the banner ad like it’s supposed to be no matter what then I don’t want to even fool with it. I don’t mind ads that you have to watch that’s fine but someone messed up the coding for the banner ad. If it gets fixed before I remove the game from my iPad Air then I will give it another try and will update my review accordingly otherwise my review is that the banner ads are the issues.

by Kelly G In ATX

I’m well aware that ads are just part and parcel of free to play mobile games, but this ridiculous. Ads pop up while you’re playing and obscure part of the board. I was able to minimize them at first until I was on level 2 and couldn’t get the ad to go away. I will say that this one gives you a little bit more tutorial and a couple of boosters to get you going, but the pop up ad experience is so awful that I’m deleting this one and moving on. I don’t have time to be fighting ads while I’m just trying to enjoy a simple puzzle.

by Artice86

Game description clearly states “no time limit. Relax and play whenever you want.” After downloading, each level has a time limit. Don’t waste your time downloading this awful, deceptive, cranked out from an all too much used mold of a game. I would have even been pleased to see a pay for no time option, but alas, no such thing is available. At least then I could say they are being just slightly shady for having to pay for a base feature that is clearly stated in the games description. But, I figure this company that can blatantly lie about a simple feature is most certainly lying about other things. That privacy data policy they have? Oh, you mean the one that states Apple has not verified the company’s indication of what data is used to track you? The policy that MAY indicate it uses your private info to link you to advertisers? That privacy policy? Yes, they are using our data to get us to buy more and more. Sure. I wonder what else they are doing with our private data, who knows? If no one verifies it so why should this company care about whatever lies it can generate and get away with. Makes ya wonder, huh?

by Vicquilt

I had seen the commercial a few times. The game looked challenging. However, Even before I could play, half of my screen was covere with an ad. Cleared the ad and a second one appears. Cleared that one and began to play. On the first game I had 3 empty screw holes, but the third hole was partially covered with a green play me video. You can’t place a screw into the empty spot. When you do, you hit the green play me and an ad plays. So, I paid the $4.99 to remove the ads. It didn’t remove the green play me ad. It still covered the 3rd empty space and the screen when I went to replay the puzzle, half the screen was covered with an ad. REALLY! I immediately cut my loss and deleted the game.

by Nicola Tesla Is Back!

This game could be great. It’s fun! It’s awesome! When I’m actually able to play it, it rocks. However there are way too many ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads. You will need to watch an ad to start each level. Most levels are impossible to solve in the time allotted so what do you do? Of course, to get more time you watch another ad! And then it is still too short so you have to watch another one! And then another! Then ooops! You made a wrong move so to restart the level, you get to watch …..another ad! All in all, to pass a level you will end up watching 5-6 ads and maybe more. Don’t be fooled by all the five star reviews, they are very likely paid for.

by Frozenfrank

The game itself is interesting and difficult: exactly the combination of difficulty to keep me in WoodNuts .

However, I’m really concerned by how often WoodNuts is complaining about being offline. About every 15 seconds, WoodNuts shows a popup about being disconnected. This is obvious because I’m in airplane mode. It’s concerning because WoodNuts doesn’t need to be online for anything, and I’m concerned that it’s reporting my data to an external company.

I’m also worried that it’s trying to do cryptocurrency mining on my device. My phone greatly overheats while WoodNuts is open and cools down again when I close it, but the game itself is basic and simple; it shouldn’t need that many resources.

Besides those concerns, WoodNuts is also buggy. It will randomly leave some of the menu items on the screen and deprive me of any rewards at all since I’m not willing to watch their ads.

With that said, with my phone in airplane mode, and mobile data disallowed, I actually like solving the wood puzzles in the game. They’re tricky, and the easy-hard, easy-hard rhythm of levels is good.

by Phantomphan4345

While I would love to say this game if in, the ads that pop up in the middle of the screen during a timed (which is another issue) is annoying, especially when you can’t close it and have to close the game and restart.

The other issue is the timed puzzles, especially when you post that there is no time limit, when clearly there is. I would purchase the game if I knew I could eliminate the timed feature. Sorry, but I may just delete this game.

by Fastkamondi

The actual gameplay itself is good. However, it is unequivocally NOT worth downloading — the time limit takes away from the puzzle aspect and instead means you have to click everything as fast as possible in order to finish the level on time. I turned off cellular data for WoodNuts so it wouldn't give me the incessant pop-up ads that plague every game of this style, but instead it gives you a pop-up every ten to twenty seconds informing you that it couldn't connect to the internet. This does not pause the game in any way, so it wastes precious time (as the levels are all given way too little time to complete) and makes you miss the opportunity to make a move as the boards are moving. They had a good game design here, nice to play during your downtime, and immediately made it completely unplayable with the amount of pop-ups, even without being connected to the internet. DO NOT download this game.

by Katyaruss

Dear developers, the idea of this game is excellent. However, I can handle ADs vs Game ratio about 40% vs 60%. But my goshhhh!!!!! I spend 25% of my time playing the game and the rest is watching ADs. You could have at least to add more clock time to each level to avoid this. I even spent $ to remove the ADs and it is only does the trick between levels. It doesn’t work if you run out of time of need to remove a screw. I made it to level 40 and I need to watch at least 5-6 ADs to finish each level. Are you guys crazy?! Please improve your game. You can do better than that!!!!!!!

by Kirahi

This is one of the most ad-heavy free apps I have EVER come across. Even while you’re playing, you’ll have ads pop up on the bottom half of the screen and some are nearly impossible to minimize. Even going back to the main menu has a 50-50 shot of playing a long un-skippable ad
It’s an extremely underhanded tactic to try and force players to spend $5 to remove all ads. If you’re going to do that, change the price to $5 and run ad-free. Toon Blast and Homescapes does the free app easily.

by @8&6)5;4

Reached level 321, ran out of tickets, no more gifts given and no more ads to earn any. End Of Game! Will be deleting. Don’t pay “For No Ads” he just rips you off. Thankfully he only got $2.50 out of me. Fun game, enjoyed graphics and different scenes.

I agree with previous revue. I’m at a high part in game, have over $20k in coins, but you can’t use to buy tickets you need. Spins only give mostly more coins. Daily game you get about 13 tickets to start, they don’t last long though. They are scrimpy on start holes too. I like to play for fun, not angst, which is happening. So I’ll be deleting game myself as I have with other similar games. Hoping Vita Games comes out with a similar game for seniors with more of chance to win. The ADS on this game are very tiresome. You have to wait for 60, then another 14 pops up, and then another 5 before game resumes! Who needs this frustration. My advice: skip them and play something else!

by Himymhimym

The game is fun!!! Love the concept. But the ads are not worth your time. Every. Single. Level. (And it’s those scamming gambling ad games that are riddled with clickbait and longer than the actual game playtime) There is no trial and error to figure these puzzles out, either know the random way the wood blocks are programmed to swing OR watch another ad/pay when you have to restart each level multiple times. And if you make a mistake? Pay for it! Or watch another ad! Want to use the game’s features? You gotta pay or watch an ad!! Just started a new game and messed up? No take backs- gotta watch an ad or pay! It’s like every single gimmick to funnel you into paying is used and if you’re not going to pay this game is a waste of time. It’s literally designed to be frustrating you into wasting your money. I’m so sick of games like this, it’s obnoxious. Deleted.

by Acmephot

The game itself was fun, but the problem is ads pop up all the time. So I decided I would pay the $4.95 to get rid of the ad's. That did nothing. Still had ads every time I tried to play. So I decided I would get a refund. The purchase although 3 days ago has not been processed. Don't pay to have the ads removed, it seems to be a ploy to get money from you.

by Juliemariexoxo

This game is impossible to enjoy. Literally an ad every 30 sec. The ads are wayyyy longer than the time spent playing the game. Additional to game interruptions by ads the ads themselves don’t always respond to clicking off of them. So in short you have watched the ad but still have to reopen/restart the game only to start it all over again due to faulty ads. Too bad. It could have been a fun game to play.

by JupiterSnail

Everything about this game is fun..until the ad covers half the screen while it is still being timed. Often it causes you to accidentally click on it, which then drags you to your internet browser automatically. Game was fun, but the ad makes it not worth it. I deleted it after the third time it drug me to my browser. Whoever thought that was a good idea should rethink it. Otherwise I imagine many, like me, will just delete WoodNuts.

by My.02

Would really like to be able to play this but you cannot get through even a minute without the ridiculous ads. It even has pop-ups that cause you to lose time & lose the game. Not only will I be deleting WoodNuts but I am deleting every game advertised on WoodNuts. I'm even going to look the developer up and delete anything I have they developed. The games you get to play within the advertisement for the game are longer. Truly terrible.

by Saucytemptress

The game itself is great and I really enjoy it. However, the ads are out of control. There is an ad playing between levels, an ad every time you mess up and want to retry, an ad to get 60 more seconds of gameplay once the timer runs down, on and on and on. There is also a small banner ad at the bottom of the screen that I didn’t find intrusive. I decided to get the ad-free version since I enjoyed the game so much, and all it did was take away the banner ads at the bottom. The intrusive ads playing every time between levels, etc., are still there, so it’s not truly ad-free. What a scam.

by Toomanychanges

Ok game. Usual overkill on ads. Ads between levels, if you need a boost etc. Each level has 2 games, an easy and hard. I gave up when I was forced to watch ads for no reason. Several levels the boards would not drop after screw was removed. They just remained stuck in place so I watched an ad to remove a screw. As soon as I returned to game the stuck board would drop which meant I didn’t need that boost I just watched an ad for! The mechanics of the game purposely do not work correctly in order to force you to watch ads. I found it faster to just close and restart game instead of watching the ads, but beware, if you are on the hard level and restart it will take you to the easy level 1st. I made it to level 61 before the ads just drove me away

by Bonfire888

The game is fun but the ads ruin it. I paid the extra to get rid of the ads but it still requires the player watch ads to get helps. Many of the levels are not passable unless you use a help. The ads are ridiculous. They are at least a minute long. Oftentimes the ads glitch and I find I have to close out and start over. I saw the developer reply to a review about the ads, emphasizing it was a free app. Well, I paid for it and still have to pay if I want to continue. The ads are way too long. I’d be willing to continue playing if the ads were shorter. I have become frustrated and annoyed and it’s no longer fun. I am deleting WoodNuts . There are so many options for games out there. I recommend finding a different option. This developer appears greedy and not willing to listen to the hundreds of people giving feedback that the ads are ruining the game.

by Bird Walker

This is a 5-star game, but the number and length of the ads are unbearable. Every time I need a small “boost” within a game or wish to restart it, I have to endure really loooooong ads, most of which are actually three separate ads stuck together. And then after that, there’s another ad tacked on before you get back to the game. One long ad that repeats frequently gets frozen at the very end, so after watching it, you have to get out of the game and start all over, with more long and repetitive ads. Developers, please fix this. I’m a patient person—you won’t have anyone left playing it. When ads get reduced, I’ll give it five stars.

by SFVoice Teacher

I really enjoy playing this game. It’s challenging and engaging. However, once you pass a certain point, it becomes nearly impossible to pass the levels unless you use some kind of booster. Of course, you have to buy these boosters. I imagine all games these days are set up this way, so that they make continual profits. But if I’ve paid you for the game, I should be able to play the game.

I find it, annoying that you cannot earn tickets, you must buy them. And without the tickets, you can’t play the game.

If you are OK endlessly spending money, I think this is probably a great game. I just don’t want to be asked for cash every time I pull my phone out of my pocket to play a game.

by Savannah_grace__

I originally downloaded this game to have a relaxing puzzle game to solve. After playing it has become annoying with how much ads you have to get through during a game. Having ads between each level is one thing but having an add pop up during the game is too much. Also the puzzles are timed so trying to click the puzzle away takes time away from solving the puzzle running your clock down which is already not necessary. And half the time when you try to click the x to close the ad out it won’t click and let you finish the game. Overall very disappointed in this game.

by GrannaSAnne

I wish I could give 5 stars, but I can’t. My goodness! I downloaded this game 20 minutes ago and am unfortunately deleting it after this review for several reasons. (Reason #1) Of the 20 minutes I was playing the game, 1/2 to 2/3 of the time was spent watching ads. (Reason #2) The description said no time limit BUT there IS a time limit. Might be a nice feature for some but I wanted to enjoy the game without being pressured. Would like to have an option to choose to play either with or without the timer. DEVELOPERS, after reading the other reviews I hope you will listen to your customers and make the needed changes. This game is going to gradually slip into oblivion otherwise and it has so much potential. I’m actually sad that I must delete it. The timer is just too stressful.

by Pistachio Person

This game doesn’t like it when you’re not connected to the internet. I play on my iPad, so cellular service isn’t an option when I’m without Wi-Fi. This game does not care that this is a common experience for many people. Every 10-30 seconds it tells me to retry connecting to the internet. It does not pause the timer or gameplay when doing so. Since this game is reliant on timed moves, this means I sometimes have to restart the level after I receive the pop up. It is absolutely infuriating. And speaking of, this game has two puzzles every level: an easy and a hard. If you want to restart while on the latter puzzle, you can either pay in-game currency to restart only the puzzle you’re on, or you can quit and have to do the first puzzle all over again. And some of these levels are ridiculously hard in the beginning. The devs did not take into account any sort of skill progression. The undo button is also something you have to use in-game currency on, instead of being free (and just lowering your score when used) like a normal game would. Overall this game design feels really malicious and the fact it keeps trying to connect to the internet when it doesn’t need to makes me wonder if the devs are using this game to collect and sell users’ data

by ZiggyKT

What I love about this game is solving the puzzles. But the timer destroys the enjoyment of puzzle-solving. The game play itself is challenging enough to wind up needing to open the extra hole, use the tools to undo or destroy either a screw or plate. I don’t mind watching ads here and there to supplement collecting these things during game play. But when the timer is consistently set with an insufficient amount of time to solve the “hard puzzle” that is part of each level, it forces you to either spend cash or watch excessive ads to complete the puzzle. What I mean by excessive is that you spend around 45 seconds watching ads to get an additional 30 seconds of game play, and it is not unusual to do so 3 to 5 times in order to complete the puzzle, especially since it takes time to re-focus and re-orient yourself to the puzzle after returning from each lengthy ad. It becomes oppressive, and the only other option is to keep replaying the same level with the same puzzles and the same insufficient time. If this game simply got rid of the timer, it would be a 5-star app, and there would still be plenty of opportunities for them to make money without destroying the enjoyment of simply solving the great puzzles.

by Mrs. Birdsworth-peach

I enjoy the basic premise of this game and the puzzles, but there several annoying things that make me give a two star rating. The rewards don’t make sense…one ticket for a very difficult level and coins. Does anyone know what the coins are for? There is nothing in the way of explanation of game play or rules, etc. If you fail a difficult level and choose to retry, why do you have to do the easy one again? Just let me retry the level I failed. And they give you these new characters but you have to watch yet another ad to get them? This game could be so much more fun if the developers changed some basic elements.

by G.Gargoyle

First off, the description says “no time limit.” Well, the devs and I must have different definitions of those words because every level has a time limit. Second, the amount of ads is repulsive. You have an ad to play each half-level, an ad to unlock the extra slot you’ll most likely need, an ad to claim the rewards, and, yep, an ad to return to the Home Screen for the next levels.
Yes. Levels. They pair a ridiculously easy level with a hard level for each step, and if you fail the second, you have to start over with the first. I was brought here by a playable ad, and that ad was not accurate to the actual gameplay.
If you want to throw away money on a sub-par game, that’s your choice. If you enjoy endless ads, stress, and irritation, go for it. Personally, if I hated myself like that, I’d just eat a truckload of peppers while watching the Home Shopping Channel and get about the same results.

by Almc4611

The gameplay is good, probably one of my favorites of the wood/screw games. But the ads freeze on the screen blocking the game. And I am not spending money to remove ads when I haven’t been able to play enough levels to be sure it’s worth the money. (Last game I purchased made it impossible to complete levels without watching ads to progress, and I don’t want to regret another purchase.)

by P'ari

This game is fun. I love the puzzle aspect of it but… unfortunately I have to agree with most other reviewers here. The ADs are ridiculous. I ended up just deleting it after level 7. Each level has multiple rounds to complete before you reach the next level, seems like the new trend in these types of puzzle games. Sure, fine. The problem is, for me, I should be progressing but because if you release the “wrong” bolt the wood won’t just fall out of the way. I understand the cause and effect . It makes you think. It’s a puzzle. But. Once I release a plank it should fall. Not eat up my time slowly sliding off the board/screen. That’s where I’m loosing most of the time. Not cause I can’t figure it out but because the plank won’t actually fall once released and me not paying money to get “help”. Or wanting to watch crazy long ADs for “help” that’s only honing to last that round. I literally played level 7 25 times and I’m just over it. Really fun but not worth it for me.

by WorldsLocalYank

When you’re playing the game, is fantastic. It really challenges you and causes you to think about the order to remove things in. I truly enjoy it. That’s the good part. The incredibly sucky part is that as you progress, and just as you start getting the hang of the game and really start getting challenged, you’re forced to watch these increasingly longer and longer and dumber and dumber ads. I know this is not the only game that is afflicted with this. I’m not against watching the occasional ad or short ads in between games. I know we all have bills to pay and we need to make money. But ads that are running up to a minute just feel unreasonable, especially if you’re like me who plays these types of games when I have the occasional 15 minute break. I would gladly watch a one minute ad at the very beginning of a gameplay session or 20 second ad in between each round. As of right now, I actually went ahead and uninstalled it. There must be some happy medium. Is there an ad free version I can pay for?

by Nick’s Nickname For His Name

I like this game.

I expect a free game to have ads and I’m fine with that. This game though… there are these pop ups that come from the bottom screen and they are difficult to close without clicking on them. it’s the most obnoxious ad serving in any game i’ve played.

I don’t think i’ve ever clicked on an internet ad on purpose in my 30 years of doing stuff on the internet. I honestly think of inadvertently clicked on more ads trying to play this game than i have in aggregate from everything else I’ve done.

I had to uninstall it. I even thought about buying the ad free version. honestly i tried to see how much it was but i couldnt see because the price was hidden behind one of those ads i can’t close because when i try i just end up clicking on it.

by JRenaeS

I like the game and the challenge it provides, especially after the recent updates. But, what is the point of the coins if there is no way to use them? There should be a reward system that allows you to use coins to skip ads or to purchase rollbacks or unlocked holes. Certain ads also get stuck, requiring you to close WoodNuts and restart. I enjoy the game and would be willing to put up with the ads (if they didn’t get stuck) if the coins had a purpose. To have coins with no purpose is misleading.

by Chalupasunrise

So I really enjoy playing but there are just too many ads. Long ads. Sure, you can just exit WoodNuts if you need to restart a level, but having to do that over and over is just as annoying. Also, I like to listen to audiobooks, podcasts, etc while I play games and even though I have all the game sound turned off, it frequently pauses what I’m listening to. Overall, it just seems like an ad farm when they’d probably make more money with shorter, less frequent ones because I’d regularly play it instead of deleting it and I doubt I’m the only one who feels that way.

by Firelotus7

The game is fun but the ads are way too long. I’d actually call them commercials and some even require interaction or they won’t go away. This makes the actual game less fun because you keep getting interrupted. There are also pop up ads, which cover half of the game board and don’t always reduce when you click on the appropriate button.

by Horned Up

I can only give the gang of three even though I love playing it every day and the reason is they continue running these ads for the family series of games, family match family tile where they have an abused woman and her child and you’re supposed to save their lives I think the advertisements are absolutely repulsive and as a person who has had people in their family survive and die from domestic violenceI think it’s disgusting that they would even advertise such a game.. To be honest, I’m kind of up in the air about whether the game is worth keeping just so I can get rid of those ads.

by BritishLitChick

I really enjoy the problem-solving aspect of the game. It’s definitely more challenging than the games where you just match things. The problem here is, though, that you really only get one mistake. I will make that mistake quickly on each harder round, but then the ads to get another turn are more than 30 seconds.
I find myself just quitting for hours instead of having to watch another dang ad.
What if we could earn more than one do-over/rewind each day? Maybe each level you can get more or add another stage to each level where you can. What do the coins even do? Even in like Mario games they have sections that just allow you to add on more lives. I am probably one level from just dropping it all together if it stays at only one way to get more turns. The juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

by 🎆🌆

Don’t get me wrong but this game is good but THE TIMER😭😭😭 i don’t like it because on the hard one I barely had time to solve and also the ads that pop up during a game are annoying but other than that it’s good I guess and also why does it need internet? This should be a WiFi free game because in long plane or car rides and more you should be able to play this

by MajorHavoc

This is yet another annoying game that puts so many ads up that it takes away from any fun you might have. And to make things worse, many of the ads are for the game you are playing. Seriously, advertise the game I’m already playing now? Normally I rate advertising loaded games like this as 1 star (because I can rate zero) but one extra star for an original concept. Now, if you can just get your laws of physics and dimensions accurate, you might gain an extra star. Sadly, I’ll never see that. Deleting this over advertising game like so many others that advertise just like this. SAVE YOUT TIME ABD FRUSTRATION, DO NOT DOWNLOAD. There are just too many ads and ads for itself that make you want to scream. Developers: I’d pay $2.99 for an ad free version. But $5? Too much for this game.

by Mr Lyons

Really want to love this game, but am struggling with a few decisions the developers made. I have so many coins that I absolutely don’t use. I paid for the ad-free version and have gotten quite high. Why can’t I buy power-ups like the “unscrew” or “hammer” with the coins I earn? The ticket system is silly to me. Like why make the four power up features a main part of the game if you don’t really get to use them unless you watch an ad? Just seems like an unnecessary feature? No one is choosing to “restart” the level with coins when you could just use the “watch an ad” feature for one of the tools and not lose your streak. Please let me use my coins for something. Want to stick with this game, but might put it down if they don’t utilize these features in a better way.

I love the concept of the game but anytime you run out of places to put the screw’s you have to watch an ad. If you want to simply start the level over you have to watch an ad. After a little while it makes me so frustrated and close WoodNuts completely because I don’t want to watch anymore ads. It’s too much. However like I said, the concept of the game is very cool and pretty fun. Just the ads and the fact that it’s timed is a bit stressful. I do wish there was an option to not be timed.

The game itself is interesting.

However, the ad that comes up from the bottom of the screen frequently freezes and cannot be minimized therefore the game cannot be continued. This is annoying.

Also ads that have sounds are annoying. Games cannot be played in public because you never know which ad or when the add will show up with sounds and embarrass you.

There’s no reason for this game to require internet to play the basic game. I understand that to use powerups you need to have one to watch the ads to earn them. But if you don’t have a good connection or don’t want to use your mobile data while playing this game in public, you should be able to play and just not be able to earn powerups.

Besides this issue and how some ads cover gameplay, this is the best nuts and bolts game on WoodNuts Store. Hands down.

So I really enjoyed the game, it is challenging and make you think about your next move throughly, but it has huge amount of adds like more than other games, usually i don’t spend much time playing games with my phone but sometimes I just need a break, and it would be 80% of it going to watching adds and the rest 20% is playing which is made me didn’t keep WoodNuts for a long time in my phone.
I totally understand that it has to have adds to keep it going for free. But there is always reasonable amount compared to the playing time

To the Developers:

Hi folks! I enjoy the game & don’t mind the ads, however, there now seems to be a bug where the ads stay in a loop & don’t have the option to close out anymore. This makes moving forward with gameplay basically impossible. If there’s anything y’all can do about that, it would be super cool!

This game is so frustrating! When I want to remove a screw, it won’t let me. It just unscrews itself then goes back into its hole. There’s sparks around it but without any type of direction or rules I have no idea what’s going on and I lose valuable time. I’m about ready to delete it

I’ve played several versions of this game. Deleted them after playing a few rounds due to way too many ads. It’s so frustrating to complete a puzzle in 15 seconds followed by a 30 second ad. Not with this game! You do have to watch an ad if you want to open a new hole or want to use a screwdriver. However, you go right into the next game instead of having to endure an ad. Recommend 5/5!

Right now the ads aren’t too bad and at least the music isn’t loud and annoying. I enjoy the graphics and the colors better too. They seem to be visually clearer. I need bi focals for vision. I don’t want to have to spend a lot of time squinting trying to make out images while I’m trying to play a game that’s supposed to be fun. So there’s that and this game is at least not like the others I’ve tried.

Somehow I am in level 43. I am thinking of paying for the no add option, but I am unsure if they will somehow manage to put the adds again. There are so many of them. Somebody here has tried that?

You get 100 coins for every level you complete but then there’s no way to use the coins. So why bother giving them if they’re just gonna sit there and have no use. Agree with everybody else way too many ads I understand that’s how the revenue is made for these games, but this is excessive.

Why don’t the daily challenges keep their checkmarks after they’ve been completed? I don’t want to play the same games over and over and over again. there needs to be a way to keep track of what I’ve already played.

Love this game, but the ads keep interrupt my game and then freeze it. I am thinking about quit with that. Thank you for this amazing game. I am going to try with reboot, because of the freeze it.

by Mogowhy

I have really enjoyed playing this game… I’m at level 468. My only question is how do I use the points I’m sitting with I’ver 65,000 points but I don’t see how or where you can use the points.

When u play this game it’s so satisfying and fun and at the end of watch level these 1 Mabel 2 adds and they are like 3 seconds long so u get right back into the action

I do love this game, but you REALLY need to get rid of the “Help the Bro” ads. They are filthy, disgusting, revolting, and offensive to women, AND WORST OF ALL, I have been letting my 8 year old granddaughter play your game with me because I think it’s good for building analytical and physics skills. I can’t let her anymore, because there is no way I would I ever subject her to that. I’m a grown up and it sickens me! I can’t imagine what awful effects it would have on children. WoodNuts for the “Help a Bro” says it’s for children at a fairly young age and up. That would be ‘grooming’.

by Kasey_flutter

These are fun brain teaser games rhat you can play if only have a couple minutes. Not a fan of the ads, but at least there’s a paid option to get rid of them. Also the ads obly show when you want to use a tool.
Overall a great game!
