Much better than the first nuts and bolts option that comes up. That one is just a bunch of long Ads and you can never move forward without watching 35 of them every five seconds. And it’s timed, if you miss the time window, here’s some more Ads! 😡This one is challenging, but fun, only a few ads and you have the option to pay $4 if you don’t want ads forever. I mean, if that’s something you despise.. but one every now and then I don’t care about. And they’re not long. Not like some other games that have three 4 min ads. Ain’t nobody got time for that!! Thank you for making a fun game and not punishing us for wanting to play it!

I was really enjoying the game, I even paid to remove the ads. Now I understand the business model, it’s a ‘free’ game and then you get folks to watch ads or pay, which I totally get, but I paid $3.99 to be able to play, without having to watch an ad. So far so good! That is until you get to level 77. There are no holes, only the extra hole, so you’re forced to either watch an ad, or use diamonds. And if you mess up, well you’re forced to watch an ad or buy diamonds. I can see right now how my future is going to look and that makes me really hate the shady side of this business model, and sadly this game. I’ve wasted $5.99 only to be forced to pay more (which isn’t told to you upfront btw) so here’s your warning now. Even if you pay, it’s still not going to be free. And it’ll just get worse and worse the higher the level you go. Update, so I updated the app to fix bugs, so it says, but now you have 5 hearts as lives and if you use them up then you have to watch an ad or use diamonds. This is a total scam cause I NEVER signed up for that. I don’t understand why games like this have to resort to shady tactics, when the game itself is good enough to stand on its own. I understand ads for free games but if you want to pay just to enjoy the game as is, without the tricks, then just offer that. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

I became addicted to this game and was thinking of giving a 5 but then issues popped up. I did not mind watching the ads to get an extra hole for a hard puzzle, but At upper levels it brings in "lives". You get 5 lives before having to watch an ad or pay for more lives. After the 5th reboot of a hard puzzle it forces watching the ads to continue, giving only one life each time. The nail in the coffin (or screw as it may be) was when my lives were all used up with a puzzle that had the annoying rocking bears and no open holes to move a screw to. The bears were covering the holes. This had happened before but a reset (using up a life) opened a hole to start. The last one was reset three times with no open hole either time and using my last lives. The fun has gone from this game. I am deleting it.

Nuts and bolts reviewI just completed 100 games on this new app. It has become one of my favorite games. If you read the critics they will tell you that there are too many ads or it is boring or that it occasionally repeats. First, I seldom write reviews but this is a new game and if one wants it to succeed or fail, write a review. Mine is for its success. I must admit, I’m ad tolerant. I think of ads as someone else paying for me to play the game. We are interrupted by commercials on TV and we are paying for the TV! Plainly put the game is not boring. While some levels are quite easy others are more challenging all are fun to solve. Does it repeat? Perhaps I have experienced one or two but I’m not complaining. This is a new game with at this writing fewer than 300 comments. Give them a break as they continue to improve this game. I personally like it. No I don’t know anyone that has any relationship with the producers. I’m just liking the game.
