I strongly suspect the game is rigged

As far as gameplay and design, this game is a lot of fun. Definitely addictive and makes time disappear eerily fast. But it is sneaky. I have noticed again and again that as you get to the end of a level, you start getting more and more useless “toolboxes”. For example, there might be twenty pink screws easily accessible, and zero green screws visible, and you will get the green toolbox every time. So when you inevitably lose the level, you can watch an ad to continue or lose a life and start all over again, but it will take a dozen or more tries before you might actually win. The ads are over a minute long each and very repetitive (I’ve seen ads for some other game a thousand times now and I officially hate it). Then there are those same ads in between every single level. You can pay to remove those ads but I hesitate to give my money to an app that feels so obviously rigged. I’m on the fence, cause it is fun and nicely designed, but I want to know that half my game play is not going to STILL be taken up by ads even after I shell out the money. Very clever of them, will give them that.

LOVE’d IT But..

This game has easily become one of my favorites, I spend a lot of time & more money than I care to admit on this game. But there a couple things that bug me. First after I paid for the ad free version, there are no more opportunities to even choose ads as an option for more lives or extra coins, you just have to keep spending money or wait til you earn enough through the levels to use. It’s very frustrating and I don’t understand why you only get 10 coins after you complete a level, when all the supplies you need is closer to 200+ coins & sometimes you spend hrs on a level just for 10 coins. That should be rethought out! My other issue is the extra screw holes, why if I fill the last screw hole does it end the game? Don’t leave an extra hole there if I’m not able to use it I mean what sense does that make? Oh yeah on the Home Screen of the game, the bottom right tab always says “Coming Soon”. Makes me think no one is really working on real consumer beneficial updates on this game. UPDATE: Now at level 119 & it’s starting to glitch or flicker, then I have to force close which starts me all over. About ready to delete the game. LAST UPDATE: I’m on level 209 & I’m done. It’s just not worth it, they don’t give you enough for what you end up paying. It’s at the point where you HAVE to pay for stuff to get thru a level only to get 10 coins at the end. I’m done.. DELETE & I DO NOT RECOMMEND

Don’t waste your money on this game!!! Becomes tedious and obvious money grab

I enjoyed this game (initially) and maybe I’m not as good at it as I thought I would be (which is certainly possible). However, there are just levels you cannot beat without cheats. They purposefully keep one or two colors from coming up (while having the same color come up 2-4 times in a row) so you get stuck- usually right around the same place every single time. I have started playing a game within the game trying to guess which color is going to screw me (pun intended) at the beginning of the level. Sometimes it’s super obvious, sometimes it’s a surprise. I will spend some money but not a lot. If you have no cheats, you don’t move on and you can’t earn cheats. So paying is the only option. I happily paid to have the ads removed but I did not realize I would lose out on being able to watch an ad to earn a cheat. I would do that (which is different than watching an ad after every level) vs spending 190 coins (they go so quickly when you only earn 10-20 coins per win and it’s impossible to win certain levels). It has become less fun, annoying and clearly a money grab. Wish I didn’t pay to go ad free as I will likely quit this game being stuck with no option but to fork out more money. Not paying one more cent as it is a rip off.

And I thought EA was bad…

I don’t write product reviews, but feel I had to here. I’ve been playing for at least a month, at first for hours upon hours and then for only five-ish minutes as the greed the developer put into the game slowly drained the joy out of it. This game has an annoying hidden feature that forces you to lose 2/3 of the levels (always about halfway through), by giving you boxes for colored screws you can’t access whatsoever, as the same colored ones before were used and now the only ones left for this stretch of not-so-random RNG are buried behind pieces that will leave your empty screw slots full first, causing you to lose. The way around this? Watching 1-2 minute long ads for each additional boxes or small amount of tools you can use to help in a pinch. You can also earn coins to buy these things, but that process is slow goings and for how often you need the tools, it isn’t enough. That leaves players who don’t want to lose but also don’t want to watch ads to have to buy the coins, which very much isn’t worth it for how often this fake RNG occurs. Could the issue be fixed by buying the ad free pack? I doubt it. It would probably only take out the ad breaks between levels. Simply put: If you want to waste your money on a dopamine rush/out of boredom, it’d be cheaper to beat the Waterworld arcade game from The Simpsons.

Great except for…

Update: I am very grateful and extremely thankful that you finally fixed the overheating issue, HOWEVER… I among many others, I can imagine, are extremely frustrated that you have taken away the ability to watch ads for help when you get stuck on a level. Having to use an over abundance of in game money just to be able to get past too many levels is absurd! I have had to use way more of my helping tools than I ever should need. That coupled with the fact that now the game loves to freeze after you’ve used multiple of the helpers… it’s almost not even worth playing at all! Please bring back the ability to watch ads for help with levels when you need it!!!! And FIX the freezing problems please!!! I absolutely loved playing this game, however before a couple updates ago it would cause my phone to overheat, so I could only play a couple puzzles before having to let my phone cool down, well they fixed that and everything was going great until I guess the recent update. Before you could watch an ad to get an extra whole, or watch an ad unlock an additional box, now they’ve taken the ad options away and if you get stuck your only option is to pay 190 of your in game coins, and you get stuck A LOT!

long ads, got stuck too soon on low levels

the objective is to pull screws out of a 3d puzzle and sort them into trays of three screws that match the color of the tray. you get two trays. you can add a tray for 100 coins to a max of 4 total trays. you can also place up to four screws of any color into a holding pen. you can pay to clear the pen for 80 coins. you can watch an ad instead of paying coins for a tray or clearing the pen. ads between every game; the ads can be up to 3 minutes long, and require playing in the ad sometimes, and often require you to click "done" ">>" and "X" many times before the game will close. it soon becomes impossible to pass levels without spending coins or watching ads to get your two extra trays and clear the pen. usually you have to do this 5-6 times in order to finish the game. it is literally impossible to pass levels without the trays and clearing the pen. and you have to watch ads to earn coins, because you only earn 10 when you pass a level. each day you get 3 free spins to get boosters but you have to watch an ad for each spin. you earn some boosters for passing a LOT of levels, but not enough boosters earned; not interesting enough when you get stuck. it's essentially an ad trap game.

Admins Please Read

I love this game. Like absolutely love it, it’s so fun and a great way to pass time that also requires you to use your brain. However, there are a few things I have issues with. #1, the amount of money you have to spend on this game to continue to level up is ridiculous. Once you spend money to remove ads, you lose the ability to watch ads at all to get tools or more boxes, which makes completing some levels absolutely impossible without spending your real money. You should still be able to choose to watch ads to get benefits if you’d like. #2, all levels have the same rewards. Some levels are labeled hard and those levels should come with higher rewards! Not even anything crazy, just like 20 coins instead of 10 or something. #3, the wait time between loves is ridiculous. Having to wait that long to regain lives makes me want to stop playing. If I’m on the app it’s because I have TIME to play, but I don’t have time to wait on lives to refill. Developers, please listen to your players. Check the FB, we all have the same complaints. Fix this and you will have a five star game easily.

Fun at first but now it’s BULL.

UPDATE: The game is now causing a virus page to open in safari on my iPhone when I am in the middle of a level. The ratio of earning coins to spending them is a million to one. It takes forever to earn them and you earn them in audaciously small increments, but you need to use an inordinate amount to extend each round if needed. If you fill all of the drill holes with spare screws but the color you need is sitting up there, it won’t move; you still fail the level. This app JUST updated minutes ago. Some levels are nearly impossible. I hadn’t run into any technical issues until after I updated the game. The color trays are overlapping; once I clear one, two of them fall in the same place. This screwed the end of a round where I could have won and completed the level, but the game wouldn’t let me and automatically failed. There are WAAAAAAAAY too many ads. In the beginning, there were hardly any, maybe one every few levels. Once you get into the 3-digit levels, there is an ad after every single level and you need to watch an ad if you try to add trays or get boosters when you don’t have enough coins. Ads can vary in duration and be up to nearly two minutes long.
