Ok, I know, this game is some cheap knockoff of the classic wooden puzzle game, but some of these review go a little too harsh. I downloaded this app from an ad in another game because of the interactive ad (it only let me do it for 50% of the puzzle) . Ok, so usually, when I download these apps the games are really easy, and they don’t even get harder after a long time. This game starts out actually pretty challenging, and I feel like that’s why people dislike it that much. I like it because of the challenge. Some bad things in it are the fact the ads are up to a minute long, and the timer (yes, you have to finish the puzzle in 3 minutes) and even while watching an ad, the timer STILL TICS DOWN. You have 10 lives before you have to wait for more. TLDR: App starts out difficult, many lives, but ads are way to long.

This game is actually fun - when you get to play it. A two minute level requires you to watch anywhere from 2-8 MINUTES of ads. Ridiculous. And those 5 star reviews in here are clearly written by the company. If you are lucky, one level in every ten can be completed without any boosts. But most require multiple boosts. And every single boost requires to watch an ad. The ad is usually 45 seconds long, then you can X it out. Except it doesn’t go away, it goes into another page of the same ad. That one lasts usually 15 seconds. When you X that one out it brings up the App Store pop up. Then you X that one out and finally get back to your level. And then when you do complete your level you have to watch another ad sequence like I just described to move on to the next puzzle. WAY TOO MANY ADS AND THEY ARE WAY TOO LONG! And the $7.99 ad free version doesn’t actually remove any ads. Scam. But like I said, the levels themselves are fun when you aren’t watching other fake ads for solitaire and royal match games with horrible actors. lol

Don’t let fake “HONESTLY” review fool you by saying this app doesn’t have ads. This app is FILLED with ads. Between every level there an ad, if you touch a blue circle there’s another ad during the game. None of them are less than a minute or so. Since many early levels might give you about two minutes to complete it, but actually takes 30 seconds or less, you’re wasting most of your time watching ads for other apps. After downloading and playing the very first level with one screw, I eve received a pop up saying I had the old app and need to download the new version, which, by the way, seems to be made by another developer. I had to shut down the app and start over to get rid of it.While the actual gameplay may be somewhat interesting, it’s made to be difficult for pre-teens or younger. At least the early levels. I played for about 30 minutes until deleting it due to the barrage of ads, which was claimed in other reviews to not exist.

The entire purpose of this game is to force users to watch ads. Even after purchasing the upgraded version of the app to remove ads, there are intentional issues built in specifically to force users to watch ads to get help items, like an extra screen hole. Phase 1 of level 245 is literally impossible to beat without watching an ad to unlock a help item. I tried every possible combination of screws and it is unsolvable unless you watch an ad or spend money to get help items. That is shady. There is also a bug where you cannot return to the Home Screen if you run out of lives. The thing that annoys me most though is that you HAVE to solve the phase 1 puzzle to retry phase 2 unless you use help items. I find that incredibly annoying and a waste of time to keep solving the same part over and over. I downloaded a different app instead.
