Unscrew. Sort. Solve. Every level is a thing: a rubber duck in a clawfoot tub, a checkered rocket on its pad, a double burger with the fries still on the plate. It's held together by screws, and you take it apart. Tap a screw to back it out, land it in a tray of its colour, fill the tray, and the block it was holding drops away. Turn the board to find the ones hiding underneath. The order matters. Some screws are buried under the piece above them, some sit on the far side, and your trays only take one colour each. When the parking row fills up and the tray you need is buried, that's the puzzle. • Endless levels that grow with you, from a handful of blocks to hundred-screw scenes • Fifty-plus hand-built scenes: breakfast, a snowman, a robot, a rocket, a duck bath, sushi, a sandcastle, a dinosaur and more • Four power tools — Drill, Bucket, Magnet, Wand — earned as you play, with a few in your kit to start • Collections of screw heads, trays, backdrops and block styles; try any piece for a level before you spend on it • Difficulty called out on the hard levels, so you know when to save a tool • No timers, no lives, no energy — play a level or two whenever you like Screwed is free to play, supported by optional ads and coin packs. Rewarded ads are always your choice. Coins can be earned by finishing levels or bought in packs; nothing in the game needs a purchase to finish.
