Screw Jam

Not obnoxiously hard like other screw puzzle games I've tried. Edit: Stopped being fun after unlocking the timer mechanic around Lvl 120 or so. Suddenly, every level is a "hard" level (no time to think), and I didn't feel like sticking around to experience what the game calls Hard Level plus arbitrary timer. It's uninstalled now, after trying the 2nd timed level.

Colorblind users beware. No option to enable colorblind mode. As it stands, I'm clicking randomly on screws that are similar colors and losing lives because of it. Lost my first 5 lives by level 13. It did introduce special shapes at that point, but that doesn't help things. Altogether a fine game, but I can't play it as is.

It's a fun little game, and I don't find the ads to be all that intrusive, so I hate that I'm having to rate this game as low as I am, but: earning coins to buy power ups is difficult. You can't earn coins without beating a level, so if you're stuck there's no way for you to get said power ups without paying actual money. Which I don't want to do. So it can get frustrating. I wouldn't mind watching an ad for 20 coins or something, but there's no option for that.

A good design ruined by ads, psychological manipulation, and excessive monetization. Even when you give them a few bucks to turn off the ads, everything about the metagame structure pushes you to buy things. I was wading through that because the underlying puzzle is good, but when they introduce the countdown timer mechanic, it's clear they're just trying to frustrate you into buying more upgrades. I hate the state of mobile gaming.

overall a fun app. major pitfalls being that some of the colors are hard to differentiate, like the purples and yellow and orange. biggest issue for me is that there are 4 or 5 reserve holes to place pins in, but if you fill all the reserves up, it's an instant fail. that's pretty weird. it'd make sense if you couldn't make any moves for the game to end, but it's a fail because you use a mechanic given to you for the purpose of making space? lil bit cringe.

It's fun. However, I'm at level 170, and I'm getting hard levels like every other one. They are impossible to solve without one of the helpers like extra spot etc. Those are hard to get as well since you have to use coins to get them and if you don't watch an ad everytime you finish a level to get extra coins you aren't going to have enough. So then I have to wait for the free spin. So overall it has now become an either buy coins to get through the levels or wait and get free coins.👎

I made it to level 44, you unlock bonus games at levels 30 & 40. One thing I do not like and it reflected my rating was whenever you won extra ❤️ (time), it didn't add on to what you already had,it replaced it entirely. So if you had 20 minutes of time remaining & you won 10 minutes, the 10 minutes replaces the 20 minutes instead of giving you 30 minutes total. That doesn't make any sense to me & feels really cheap on the developers part. 3/5!!

Mechanics are easy to understand, relies too much on hidden colors for its difficulty. Meh. I was entertained for a second and then I ran into the "hearts" mechanism where I had to wait to play or watch an ad. Groaned, watched the ad, and it still wouldn't let me play. Uninstalled immediately - I have less than zero patience for that kind of lazy development. Plenty of other puzzles out there to try.

It is okay but not going to spend more time watching ads than playing. Ad after every single level, which is usually less than a minute is too much for me. I love how you made it to watch an ad after every fail & why it gets so difficult fast. Plus, the long ads were the deal breaker. AND it's a copycat with absolutely nothing special or original about it. Maybe time for a career change DEVS.

Fun game but there's an issue you need to fix. When I try to win extra coins by watching an ad, several times after being brought to the Play Store, when I go back to the game it refreshes to the beginning instead of returning to the ad I was watching. So then I lose out on the extra coins I just sat through an ad for. Also need an option to skip a hard level after so many tries. I bought coins so I could buy extra holes and that wasn't enough. Now I'm stuck at 233 with no way past. 🙁

Overall, I enjoy the game. It seems to be exactly as shown in the ads, which is rare these days. My one major complaint is that the colors can be hard to tell apart through the glass. (For ex: light purple vs. gray) More than once I've used up my extra holes pursuing the incorrect screw underneath because it looked like another color. Planning ahead makes a huge difference on difficult levels, but hard to do when you can't tell what color a screw is.

Changing from 5 to 2. There's no real significant change from free or buying. Ads still play a major part in gaining ANY power ups. The 5 hearts thing is TERRIBLE after buying. You get no real incentive to purchase. The other buys in the game are incredibly expensive. I don't feel it's worth the money and wish I could get a refund

Was a good game (minus the mega ton of annoying ads) up until recently but now I can't even play it. The purple loading screen with the elephant bouncing on the ball just stalls there and the game won't load. I even updated the app a minute ago hoping it would fix it but nope still the same issue. I checked my wifi connection but its running completely fine/normal and I can play other games and apps with no issue. Really hope this can get resolved soon or I may just uninstall this game.

I'm embarrassed to say, I play a lot of games. This came up as an ad on another game I play, looked ok, so I got it. I enjoy difficult levels, but there's only so much one can take! I have spent entirely too much time trying to beat a level. Even, (gasp!), tried YouTube to help, but they've changed the levels so all the videos for the level I'm on are of completely different boards?!??? I play games for fun, not to spend $. I don't mind ads, but this game doesn't give you anything. Uninstalled!!

I really liked this game. Very few complaints but level 1082 is broken. It is a timed level but it begins with zero time on the clock and you automatically fail. I even tried using my coins to "continue" and the clock still didn't work so I just lost my coins. I reported this issue to the developer but received no response. The level is impassable so I guess I'm done playing.

It's a fun game and some of the levels do genuinely make you think. However, they give you 5 slots to hold onto screws you don't need yet, but you can only use 4 or else you fail the round. It's stupid and frustrating. If you're going to show 5 slots, then let the player actually use all 5 slots. Also, it is another game that gives you ads at every turn unless you turn off WiFi. Not super worth it.

Game is nice enough as a puzzle game until you reach level 1100. The challenge is to complete the puzzle in zero seconds. By this point, you've run out of maps to complete and will be stuck with a Dubai background. I have sent a support request email, but I haven't heard anything back. The only customization option is your username and a selection of profile pics. It is annoying to still get an ad when selecting the 10 coin reward for completing a level.
