Screw Machine is a color-sorting screw puzzle with a moving twist. Instead of stacking screws onto a bolt, you spill screws onto a spinning machine and let timing do the sorting. Tap a panel drop its screws onto the rail, and watch each color thread itself into its matching plate as the ring carries it around. Fill every plate to win. Overload the rail and the whole machine seizes up. HOW THE MACHINE WORKS • Tap a panel to loosen its screws onto the spinning rail • Four color plates sit around the ring — each one takes three screws of its color • As the machine turns, every screw passing its matching plate drives itself in • Fill a plate and it locks shut; the next color rolls up behind it • Clear all the plates to finish the level KEEP IT TURNING • The rail only holds so many screws, release colors with nowhere to go and it jams solid • Read the machine before you tap: open the panels whose colors have an open plate • No move counter, no timer, you only lose if the rail jams for good • Every level is a small sorting puzzle built to be untangled PARTS THAT CHANGE THE GAME • Mystery plates: The next color stays hidden behind a "?" until it rolls into place • Gates: Run a screw through and it splits into more • Tunnels: Feed a whole extra run of panels onto the board • Arrows: Panels that you can only unlock from a certain direction WHY IT'S HARD TO PUT DOWN • A fresh, tactile spin on the nuts and bolts puzzles you already love • One-tap, simple, with real timing and planning underneath • Hand-built levels that stay clever without ever feeling like work • Oddly satisfying to watch, screws driving home, plates locking in sequence • Play offline, anywhere, no wifi needed • Free to play, with lives that refill over time Loosen the screws. Run the machine. Sort every color.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Screw Machine at 4.9 against Sushi Sort's 4.3. Screw Machine also leads on ratings volume (736 vs 25).

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Screw Machine holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screw Machine has 736 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Sushi Sort's written reviews are positive against 57% of Screw Machine's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sushi Sort ships an update every 5 days, Screw Machine every 4 days. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
