What I love about this game is solving the puzzles. But the timer destroys the enjoyment of puzzle-solving. The game play itself is challenging enough to wind up needing to open the extra hole, use the tools to undo or destroy either a screw or plate. I don’t mind watching ads here and there to supplement collecting these things during game play. But when the timer is consistently set with an insufficient amount of time to solve the “hard puzzle” that is part of each level, it forces you to either spend cash or watch excessive ads to complete the puzzle. What I mean by excessive is that you spend around 45 seconds watching ads to get an additional 30 seconds of game play, and it is not unusual to do so 3 to 5 times in order to complete the puzzle, especially since it takes time to re-focus and re-orient yourself to the puzzle after returning from each lengthy ad. It becomes oppressive, and the only other option is to keep replaying the same level with the same puzzles and the same insufficient time. If this game simply got rid of the timer, it would be a 5-star app, and there would still be plenty of opportunities for them to make money without destroying the enjoyment of simply solving the great puzzles.
