They are annoying and distracting! However, I like the sound of the screws. Please update and have a button where we don’t have to listen to the music/praises…only the sound of the screws. Thanks! ### 2/5 — Ad said no ads *2026-08-22, version 1.4.6* But it lied. It definately has an ad after every game. ### 4/5 — Screw game for adults *2026-08-15, version 1.4.5* I am hopeful this game is designed for anyone over the age of five. The ads for the game suggest it, but lets see if it delivers. ### 3/5 — Advertisement *2026-08-13, version 1.4.5* To many ads, and make it a no wifi game please:( ### 3/5 — Publicité *2026-08-12* Trop de publicité a regarder pour avoir accès ### 3/5 — Fun but excessive ‘events’ *2026-08-04, version 1.4.4* I honestly love the game. It’s so much fun and relaxing. But I keep abandoning it and coming back because the amount of events they have is insane. There’s no way to opt out of having them pop up. Didn’t log in for a couple days? Enjoy 15 event notification pop ups you are forced to interact with before you can play. Also after almost every round. And they aren’t ads so the ad free doesn’t do anything for them. I really wish they had a toggle so I could say I don’t want to participate in the events or something. I don’t care about the collectible cards or the races. I just want to chill and vibe and play. I would even pay for an add on honestly if I could fully disable the events, or even better if each event had a single opt out and then it wouldn’t open again unless I tapped on it. Aside from this one thing the game is amazing, but I often get frustrated at the events and just stop playing for a while. ### 4/5 — Des bugs ,des bugs …. *2026-08-02* Bon jeu . Mais des bugs au démarrage .le jeu ne se charge pas et reste en page accueil sans aucunes icônes pour lancer le jeu ….. Panne qui revient régulièrement . Dommage ### 4/5 — Improved ad experience *2026-07-24, version 1.4.3* When I first got this app, I enjoyed it until I needed to watch an ad. The ads were extremely long, like two minutes. After writing a review and giving it only three stars, the developers contacted me and said they are working on changing the ads. They did shorten them significantly, but they are still much longer than those that are in Grindr or Bejeweled 2 , for example, It’s the same ads in those other apps but these are still about twice as long. The other ones go 20 to 30 seconds this one is still longer. The game experience itself is fun and challenging although sometimes when you enter a competition, it seems like you’re only playing against bots instead of real humans. ### 2/5 — Bait and switch *2026-07-14, version 1.4.3* I was in the middle of playing this game and loving it. In the middle of a level it said I had to update. Suddenly I have a million ads and they took away being able to see through blocks when you hold them down. Really stupid ### 4/5 — 발열이 너무 심해요 *2026-07-13* 디자인도 좋고 게임도 재밌는데 이 게임만 하면 발열이 너무 심해서 못 하는 게 아쉬워요. 제벌 고초주시길… **Developer response:** 안녕하세요! 😊 게임 이용 중 렉(지연 현상)이나 기기 과열로 인해 불편을 겪으신 점 진심으로 사과드리며, 상세한 상황을 공유해 주셔서 정말 감사합니다. 🙏 보내주신 성능 관련 의견은 저희도 잘 인지하고 있으며, 더욱 원활하고 안정적인 플레이 환경을 제공하기 위해 지속적으로 모니터링 및 최적화 작업을 진행하고 있습니다. 본 게임은 방대한 양의 정교한 3D 콘텐츠로 구성되어 있어, 다양한 기기에서 최상의 경험을 선사해 드리기 위해 끊임없이 성능을 개선하고 최적화하는 데 힘쓰고 있습니다. 💪 소중한 의견과 기다림에 다시 한번 감사드립니다. 보내주신 내용은 게임을 발전시키는 데 큰 도움이 됩니다. 앞으로 진행될 업데이트를 통해 훨씬 더 쾌적한 게임 환경을 경험하실 수 있기를 바랍니다! 💛 — 3D Bolt Master 팀 🔩 ### 2/5 — So fun - at first *2026-07-11, version 1.4.1* I loved this game, until I played a little longer and now it just sucks. They designed it so you can’t beat levels with just skill - you have to either watch ads or pay coins on about 90 percent of the levels. It’s a shame because I really enjoy the game, it’s fun and relaxing. But it stops being fun and relaxing after the 1000 ads you are forced to watch, even after paying for no ads. I stupidly paid for upgrades/points, thinking that I could play for a few weeks without ads, just using points, but the you will go through at least a few hundred points for 90% of the levels. I wish I never downloaded this game. ### 2/5 — Moved to a P2P model *2026-07-10, version 1.4.1* I’ve been playing this game for a long time, and as with many games overtime you can see when the developers get a little bit bored and a little bit greedy. Or at least that’s how it appears. This game was often playable without spending any money but recently probably in the last month I’ve noticed a pattern where the games are becoming harder. Enter set an extent illogical. You are very often faced with no options apart from using hammers or paid opportunities to get through to the next level.. This is actually really disappointing as it’s quite a cathartic and calming game normally, but has now become frustrating ### 2/5 — I used to like this game but… *2026-07-07, version 1.4.1* Today I started playing the game and it started showing cat food advertisements in the middle of play. Greedy. I’m deleting the app. ### 2/5 — Update: *2026-07-04, version 1.4.1* Money grabbing greedy game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fun game ruined by ads and AI *2026-08-16, version 1.4.5* Too many long ads (many of which are abusive and gross). Even if you pay for no ads the game still has them. Click to buy stuff buttons pop up suddenly in front of the start game button which is intrusive and greedy. Developers don’t respond to help requests. Overuse of creepy AI artwork. ### 1/5 — False advertising *2026-08-13, version 1.4.5* Pictures in ad not part of game. ### 1/5 — Too much trash *2026-07-25, version 1.4.4* Decided to come back to the app after a while. A lot of trash and ads showered at me right away - you lost a challenge (well obviously, I haven't opened the app in a year), buy a pack with discount, allow us to track you... After closing the 10th popup I decided not to come back ### 1/5 — AD’s AD’s AD’s *2026-07-21, version 1.4.3* The Gabe is rigged so you will have to watch an AD or more to complete any level. The coins received are not enough to avoid this simple fact! It’s a good game but, not to sit and watch ads! ### 1/5 — No life *2026-07-15* Waiting period is too longer breaking momentum **Developer response:** Hello! 😊 We understand that waiting for Lives can feel frustrating. You can try joining a Team and using the “Ask for Help” feature to get extra Lives from your teammates. Even if your Lives are not fully used up yet, you can still ask for help — the extra Lives will be saved in your Life Bank for later use. 💖 Hope this helps, and thank you for playing our game! ### 1/5 — Too many ads to even breathe *2026-07-13, version 1.4.1* Every time you beat a level there’s an ad, whenever you need a box there’s an ad, and half of the time they’re pointlessly long. I have repeatedly gotten ads that go up to 50 seconds without any ability to skip. And even with the paid no ads perk, you STILL get them. This game sucks and lives off of ai slop and ads to remain relevant. Do better. ### 1/5 — Must Watch Ads *2026-07-02, version 1.4.1* You pay 99 cents to get rid of ads. Then they make the levels so hard that you have to watch ads just to pass them. You will run out of boosts and coins also, even if you participate in the events. You’re forced to watch ads no matter what. Deleted as of today. ### 1/5 — 90 pct ads *2026-06-12, version 1.3.8* Sorry but when there’s 20 screws available and none match your boxes 10 games in a row, it’s not random. ### 1/5 — Advertisement *2026-06-08, version 1.3.8* I have enjoyed this game despite the adverts though it slows down the game however I have deleted the app as now the adverts don’t close and therefore the game is compromised. ### 1/5 — Virus *2026-06-05, version 1.3.7* Update: The subtle flashing of the background/graphics/refresh rate gave me a seizure The game will take you randomly to your browser claiming they are scanning for viruses. Tonight, it took over my speakers despite being on mute BLARING AN ALERM NOISE! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 3D Bolt *2026-08-25, version 1.4.6* After receiving many pop up ads, I finally found this game that I enjoyed most. The tilting function adds to the game. ### 5/5 — 3D Bolt *2026-08-01, version 1.4.4* Fun!! My first screw puzzle!! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-27, version 1.4.4* It is really good and I think it is very relaxing ### 5/5 — Elevate *2026-07-24, version 1.4.4* So sick of playing Ready for college ### 5/5 — Fun and Challenging *2026-07-22, version 1.4.3* Love this game. Gives me the challenge and relaxing calm that i need. ### 5/5 — Grandmaw Linda *2026-07-15, version 1.4.3* Great game ### 5/5 — Royce *2026-07-10, version 1.4.1* Love this game ### 5/5 — Bolts! *2026-07-08, version 1.4.1* You don’t like what I write so you delete it! Go screw yourselves!! ### 5/5 — Fun times *2026-07-06, version 1.4.1* I luv it ### 5/5 — J’aime bien ça détresse *2026-07-03* Facile à comprendre avec plusieurs défis.
