Screw Puzzle

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.

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.

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!
