It's a fun game, but almost all the levels require you to watch an ad to unblock. The extra slot which is required half of the time To complete the level other than that, it's actually kind of fun. UPDATE. After 35 levels and over 200 ADs. I gave up each map took a min 2 ads to finish and a forced ad at the end. It gives nothing free and takes all your time and battery. If don't mind a ton of ads it's fun. Just not for me no more...

The fact that I have played this game as long as I have without deleting it is a testament how addictive it is. But the ads are sooooooo long and really unavoidable. it doubles the length that it takes to solve every puzzle. Most ads are 45 seconds and the same ones are repeated over and over and over. Give me a break.

After getting to level 80 and going higher, the ads seem to pop up every time, retry a level, exert retry there is an ad, finish a level there is an ad, almost anything you do there is an ad. They range from 30s-60s then this game has a waiting period before you can close the ad after it says you received your reward. You can add up to about 30s more on top of the 30s - 60s. I don't mind games with ads, but this one is ridiculous, I'm done. There are better alternatives.

Money grubbers. An ad a level comes out to be a HUGE waste of my time. Not worth it. I tried to get past the overload of ads because, hey, they gotta eat right? Wrong, it's just too much The game play is disjointed and unexplained. Physics don't really apply all the time and the slider bar at the end of every level is rigged. You can land on the 5 but it does move your curser while you are sitting through one or two of their ads to a 4 in the opposite direction. 0/10 do not recommend

I like the game, but it doesn't start with enough easy, medium levels to build up points to use on hard levels. The hard levels can not be done in one try because there's just not enough time given, and then you have to watch very long ads to continue or to use a tool. Then, after you watch a very long ad, the game freezes, and you have to exit and start all over. The ads are so long that it is actually faster to exit the game, go back in, and start the level over. Very frustrating!

I feel like this game is trying to force you to spend real money. Starting out if you want extra time or anything you need the golden bolts but before long they become pointless. If you want an "extra" you have to watch an ad. That's fine, until you get so far. You will reach a point where if you want to drill a new hole or get extra time, you need a blue screw only. There is an option for ad free but I don't think it's worth it. I will uninstall before I spend money on this.

The main game play is fun and visually it looks good. However, it is overly monetized. Everything takes energy, games are timed, waiting times, points, rewards, and so on. To be honest I'm not sure if they could monetized it anymore. About all they could do it force you to pay to move a screw... of wait they sort of do.

Extremely ad based.. every level is a two parter and has an easy and then a hard mode that requires you to watch an ad or the puzzle is unsolvable.. do yourself a solid and look for other games like this also false advertising I was expecting a story as to why we were unscrewing random pegs as advertised but no.. very disappointing.. also very boring

After the last update, the ability to watch ads for some of the boosts came back, which I like. This is one of the better screw puzzle games. My current complaint is that I've completed all of the available levels! I wish there was a way to replay past levels so I can continue to participate in the team events. I hate not being able to help out my team because I've run out of levels to play.

"more features" equals taking away the option to watch ads for some of the boosters. So, the "features" are actually the necessity of buying boosters, which are freakishly expensive. Got to a level that can't be beaten without many, many blue screws (rare prizes or very expensive purchases) and I give up. The game is engaging and fun but WAY too expensive for a "free" game.

This is the third wood screw puzzle I've downloaded. At first was fun to play...bit now it's impossible to even do any of the levels! They don't even offer any more ads...how ridiculous! I know what they want...my $$$. After watching a million ads to play each and every level..I refuse to give them a penny! DO NOT download. I am deleting this game. There are so many games you can play that don't require constant ads!

Fun game. Unplayable without ads. Some levels require 4 holes at the start. One of the holes you need to watch an ad to use. Having to watch an ad to play the game is predatory. Ads should be beneficial and not literally required to play the game. If I can't beat a normal level without being forced to watch ads, the game will fail. Ads for extra holes to make the level easier, fine. Ads that you have to watch or you literally can't play the game, cancerous.

Is there a settings menu?! I can only play a few minutes. I have things I'm trying to listen to on YouTube, but this takes over. No settings I can find.🙁 It also became boring quickly. I gave up. Game sounds are irritating and there are ads even after 15 second easy levels. Right idea but needs tweaks. I will add a star if I am wrong about a 'settings' menu.

Supposed logic game that doesn't follow its own rules. After level 37 or so, you need to watch ads to get through the levels. The difficulty goes up but they still only give you two holes to put screws when you need at least three and in many cases four. The only reason why it gets 2 stars instead of 1 star is they make you feel the watching ads for power upsis optional, which technically it is. You just aren't going to pass the level if you don't watch.

Fun, challenging game with a RIDICULOUS amount of ads. Sometimes as many as 4 totalling over a minute between moves. I won't pay $8 to get rid of them so as long as I'm bedridden and bored, I'll keep playing until I'm fed up and delete the app. Also, the ads are suddenly not loading or freezing causing the need for a hard restart resulting in loss of progress.

I feel bad for the puzzle designers. Fantastic puzzles that can be completed without any ads, but if you do something wrong and get yourself put in an unwinnable state, undoing cost an ad, restarting costs an ad... Or ruining the puzzle by cheating for a powerup costs an ad. This destroys the puzzle element of the game. You can just use ads to force your way through. And if you choose not to, you see even MORE ads because you're constantly undoing/restarting. Also, tapjoy offerwall integration

Terrible. Packed with ads. If you mess up you watch an ad. If you go back to the home screen you watch an ad. If you choose to watch an ad for a tool, it's a minute long then makes you sit there for a minute looking at the install button before you can exit out, THEN it freezes, you don't get the tool, you have to force close it and start all over again. It's nothing but ads and you spend more time watching ads than each puzzle. Un-installed

To many ads, on top of a weird level system where you do one easy level before a hard level. Thus, when you retry you have to go through an annoying extra mini level to reattempt where you actually failed. I don't mind ads for a free game, but 30 second adds every few minutes is to much. Also, I've read the reviews, the company's responses fall so flat. They don't realize that I'll watch a ridiculously long ad just to get through the level because the alternative is to watch multiple long ads.

I really enjoy this game. They claim it's ad-free, but many levels aren't winnable w/out purchasing add-ons or sitting thru vid ads that claim "reward granted" but still continue to waste your time by clicking the various "X" marks w/out taking you immediately back to the game. Seriously, the avg is 4 "X" marks per video. However, this game offers a reasonable amt of time to solve ea puzzle, unlike a lot of copycat games I've tried. So far, I'm willing to keep playing.

Only unscrewed one screw in the first level of the game and a full screen ad popped up. Exited and went back to the puzzle. And it popped up again a second later. Immediately uninstall. The puzzle idea sounded interesting. But I haven't even really started the game yet, let alone completed a single puzzle, and I'm already getting full screen obstructed ads? There's no reason to install this app.
