Screw Sort 3D: Pin Puzzle Game

I originally found this game while browsing for games without any ads, this is because ads have been becoming a major problem for games these days. This one had come up and I was interested because it seemed satisfying and without any ads I’d be a score. (I’m not sure how they are advertising the game now being with or without ads because I had got it a while back.)The ad problem had began when I got to around level 7. For each level you are given 2 out of the four boxes, the other 2 you have to watch ads to receive. I made it a mission of mine to only complete the levels without watching any ads because that was what I had wanted from the game. So it came as a surprise when it’s almost impossible to beat without watching the ads, it got to a point where I started counting how many times I failed the same level. It was over a hundred times. I eventually did pass the level but something taking over a 100 times to complete is a bit ridiculous. Even so I kept going because it really is addicting. I have made it to level 125 and am now going to be done with the app. This is because spending so much time on a singular level gets tiring and it becomes not nearly as fun. I even did give into the ads to get the other 2 boxes but the ads are super long (many are over a minute) and is just annoying when you HAVE to watch them so many times for each level. Overall it’s a good game and it hits what it’s supposed to hit but many of the levels are incomplete-able without watching tons of ads. So please keep that in mind if you are thinking about getting this app.

This game is fun and challenging but it has some major issues!!! I delete any app that burns up my battery life or makes my phone hot, so that is major issue #1 since my phone has been eating up the battery since I downloaded it 2 weeks ago (even when the app is closed out fully and hasn’t been used for over 24 hrs) and my phone seems to be running warm with apps that have never caused issues. It almost seems like the game worms its way through your phone like a tracking app. Major issue 2, I’m trying to delete the game from my phone, and I can’t even do that… I always “offload” the app before deleting to make sure I also get rid of any saved data from the app. My settings tab froze 3 times where I had to close out my settings tab and reopen it to try again. I finally got it to Offload and it froze my settings again trying to delete multiple times and now the app is stuck in limbo where it’s greyed out but won’t delete…. I’ve seen something like this on a computer with a fake program that has a virus where I had to enter “safe mode” to manually track down and delete every hidden file, but never from an App on a phone. Update, a few min after this review the app finally deleted and my phone temp seemed to drop back to the normal temps from before I got the app (I don’t know the temp change, but it was enough to feel a physical temp change over a 3-5 min period).

I can’t say enough good things about this game, I just love it! Atm I’ve only had it an hour or so, but so far the game is great and the 3D part makes it way better than other screw games. There are extras you can use for watching an ad, but it never feels like you’re forced to do it, or like you can’t win without it. I did expect to have to watch an ad after each level (which, so far, is mostly true) but thankfully the levels are definitely long enough that it doesn’t feel annoying to watch an ad at the end. I also really hoped that they didn’t do any ads that interrupt game play (and thankfully they don’t!). I suppose it’s possible that I will reach a point in the game where I’ve played every level (it’s happened in other puzzle type games) but there are so many possibilities that it’s also possible I will never run out of levels to play lol So as of right now, I have absolutely no complaints! And I want to thank the developers (or whoever) for not putting a ton of ads in. Pleeeeaaase don’t ever change that!! It’s a big reason why I haven’t put the game down in the last hour lol. If ads aren’t popping up constantly, then I can sort of zone out while I’m playing. I feel like it’s a zen/meditative type of thing. It’s also helped me kind of wind down before I try to get some sleep. I’m really glad I found this game!
