Reviews Summary

Top reviews

fun but also kind of a rip off.

so I do love this game, however I have an issue with how little each round is worth. it’s like 5 or 10 coins, that’s it. and it takes hundreds of coins to buy boosters or revives.

but my biggest issue with this game is the extra slots it gives us. it gives us 5 or 6 spots to hold colors that we don’t have the boxes for yet, but if you use the fifth or sixth hole it kills you and you have to watch an ad to revive. why can I use all my extra spots?? there’s been so many times where I could put a screw into my last extra slot and it reveals the color I need to finish a box and clear it, but it just kills you if you use the slots. that’s pretty unfair and makes me so irritated that I would not recommend the game to others because of it. gave it a 4 star rating instead of a 3 or 2 because I’m pretty sure they won’t read these reviews unless it’s a high rating. they only want to deal
with people who will sing their praises and not give two craps about reading true feedback.

Could be better

Update: I haven’t encountered anymore problems so I’m changing from 2 to 4. Glad a developer actually cares.

Original: I’m giving a two because the Threads and Instagram ads that you have to watch (to complete impossible levels without an extra box) won’t let you exit after watching. So, you start over and the same thing happens. I get ads are needed, but at least make sure they’re doing what they’re supposed to. If it keeps happening, I’m just deleting the app.

Best of these types of games Ive tried

I play a lot of these types of games and this one seems to be the most fair/requires the least amount of ads to be able to complete a level. Definitely takes me a couple of tries to finish a level sometimes but I haven't *had* to watch an ad for a power up to complete a level so far. Makes me play the game much longer.

My only complaint is that because there is no way to tell what pins are behind blocks, sometimes when you hit a roadblock, its a complete guess as to which pins to pull to reveal the pins you need

Fun but you can’t beat it without watching ads

this game is super fun, but nearing the end, there’s some levels you can’t beat it without watching an ad. it’ll give you screws that are under other colors making it so you have to uncover it and by then you’ll run out of space. you can watch an ad to get another color box open or you can loose. it was fun until i got stuck on level 2 because i wasn’t watching ads. would be a 1 star if it wasn’t fun.

Ads are THE game

Game is as fun as the number of ads are frustrating. Even after paying $6.99 to eliminate “forced” ads, I’ve watched up to 8 ads just to complete a level. It seems the game is programmed to bury the color pegs for the boxes you’re looking for and you end up exceeding the extra hold holes, so need to add a box. Then you can exceed the max of four boxes and need to “sweep” the hold holes. This required 120 coins or watch an ad. You do get a pittance of 10 coins a game unless you do the multiplier (for a max of 100 coins) - which requires watching an ad. That doesn’t go far when the number of ads are stacked against you. Do yourself a favor and avoid this game.

We’re sorry to hear about your frustration with the ads even after purchasing the ad-free option. We appreciate your input and will work on improving the game experience to better meet players’ expectations. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Not Satisfying

The gameplay is fun but it's like the app is trying to make sure you can't beat the level by giving you boxes for colors that aren't even visible. Also why isn't there an option to permanently unlock the third and fourth boxes? It is extremely frustrating having to watch a video to unlock the box only for the app to give me another color that I can't access yet. It is for these two reasons that I will be deleting this app after less than 24 hours. I was literally only able to get through five levels before becoming fed up with the amount of full length ads necessary to beat EVERY SINGLE LEVEL. Save your time for a better app.

Lame ol tricks

Just another App, who was geared their entire game about some kind of mindless way either forcing you to buy stuff and or if you refuse to do that, then they make your game impossible to play or achieve any kind of level beating by simply just playing with your skills it makes it so you have to absolutely watch commercial after commercial. These are just not your regular commercial. These are extended extended just mindless back-and-forth extended and it won’t let you skip forward all about some kind of cheap self-serving cashing in and not giving you any kind of play. It’s annoying. Shame on people.

Free will or Predestined?

I’ve been playing for a couple of weeks now. I enjoy the game and there is no time limit so it’s relaxing and i usually play before going to sleep. i’ve realized though that no matter what color of screws you pull out, there will always be colors that are not shown until the very end so you have to watch ads. I get that that is the point of these games but when you think that your pulling screws in a way that different and may help you get to the end without watching an ad, you are mistaken. It’s a computer program that already knows what pins you will be picking. “Who cares?” Maybe but it starting to bug me that the powers above already know what we are going to do and no one has free will. Seems like an everyday occurrence in the real world and now our games. Not going to pay for ad free so will play less. Bummer.

Coin Confusion

Super fun game! However, I’ve finished all the collections. When I go to the “skin” shop to try to get a new screw or background I’m told I don’t have enough coins. There doesn’t seem to be a way to sell my collections and I’m not getting coins through levels either. Just random items I already have in my collections again. How do we acquire these “coins”???

Best Screw Game

I’ve tried a bunch of the screw puzzle games and this one is the best. Yes, the levels do seem to be designed so that you want to watch the ads to open more boxes, but you don’t have to if you don’t want to. The only time the game forces an ad on you is when you finish a level and you haven’t watched an ad recently. I also like the item models that are used. Overall not plagued with ads and a great challenge! (Except for the box levels. Screw the box levels lol)
