About

Boltsmith

Features
Read full description

Boltsmith is a cozy, oddly satisfying bolt-unscrew puzzle. Tap an exposed bolt, watch it spin out of the plate, and sort it by color into the matching caddy. Fill a caddy with three of a color and it pops — freeing the slot for the next color. Clear every bolt from the bench to solve the level. It sounds simple, and the first taps are pure ASMR. But as plates stack and colors multiply, every move becomes a small planning problem: which bolt do you pull first, and where will it go? Think one step ahead, keep your caddies open, and empty the workbench.
