Screw Jam +12

Great but…

So I paid for this to be ad free. Can be fun. But at the same time it’s a bit frustrating. Your last hole to place the screw is not your last free spot. Even if I can make a move once I fill in the last space, it already tells me that I’ve lost when I could have gone to the next toolbox. I find this extremely frustrating which in turn makes me not want to play. I mean if I ever had this game in front of me and not on a phone app, the very last empty space would be used for another pet/screw but that’s not what this app does. Anyway, please fix it. It works sometimes, like maybe 30 percent of the time, but the other 70 percent it says you lose when you shouldn’t.

Also, for some reason today I keep getting ads even though I paid for the ad free version! I keep clicking the restore purchase and it’s not working. 😡 Refund please!

I’m only at the beginning of the game…

…but I’m seeing some major issues that will likely keep me from continuing to play it. One is the dreaded last screw hole that automatically makes you fail a level that you probably didn’t need to fail. It’s pointless to add that last screw hole if it’s not going to be usable. You should only fail a level if all of your screw holes are full and you try to add another.

The other is the option to gain 10 coins and proceed after a level OR watch an ad to get more coins or bonus stuff. The first day I played the game, it worked as it was shown. Not once did I have to watch an ad to just collect the 10 coins. When I played it today, I got an ad after every single level even when I was selecting the 10 coin no-ad version. Annoying and unnecessary.

I understand that developers have to make money somehow, but making everything so expensive and so ad-heavy that it’s unusable is not the way to gain long term customers. If I like a game, I’ll be loyal to it for YEARS. I will spend real money. But there has to be a good give and take, which this game doesn’t have. I also have no desire to do timed levels, so it’s probably good I’m bowing out now before I reach those.

Good game but

I really enjoy playing this game. I have a lot of fun trying to pass the levels without using any coins or any of the perks. I don’t normally even write a review for anything but this one thing bothered me so much that I will delete the game and never play it again. As you reach higher levels, the game will add challenges to make the levels harder. I made to a point where you need to unscrew all screws within a certain time. In this level, level 125, I had to finish within 2 minutes. I was doing well and close to finishing until at the 18 second mark, it told me I had failed and to either lose a heart or keep going using coins. I only had 4 more boxes to fill, so it wasn’t like there was much left to do. I used my coins to see how many seconds it would have taken me and I was left with 4 seconds to spare. I could have very well finished without needing to use my coins or having to give up a life. I’m extremely upset because I always watch an ad to get 30 coins after each round, so I had more than enough coins but I found it so ridiculous with 18 seconds left why did I need to even use my coins? So thank you for the cool game, it was great for the time being but I’ll go play another version now.
