Screw Out: Jam Puzzle 4+

Suggestions

The commercials are for too long. 45 to 55 seconds, two hundred times a day. Why the 5 more seconds countdown after the rejection. After we see the results for 5 seconds we know if we want to check it out. After two hundred times a day we know them all by heart anyway. The same commercials ten times in a row, Just think about it. I understand commercials, I don’t understand bombardment.

And then your arm gets tired from having to punch the same button multiple times go to the next step.

I want to like this game, but the interface makes it frustrating. I don’t have any form of colorblindness, but it’s really hard to tell if some screws and their boxes are the same color. This could be easily fixed with unique screw head shapes, something that match 3 games figured out a couple decades ago.

The rewards for completing levels come in the form of coins… and a different kind of coin with a wrench on the face. The first coins go in a piggy bank that the game hints will break open when full, but it doesn’t.

The wrench coins go into a box that you can use to try a level without breaking a streak, but without the piggy bank coins, you don’t have enough.

The thing that finally made me quit was when they added a minigame between levels where if you press a button, you can multiply the coins received if you watch an ad, or another button that should take you to the next level. They both show the ad.

Worst part? Pressing the button in a particular spot doesn’t have anything to do with the reward multiplier.

And the coins? Probably went in the already full piggy bank. I quit caring because yet another between level bonus screen was added.

Devs,
Keep simple games simple. Don’t add stuff that makes the game draining. Make any bonus challenges work. Make it so you have another way to tell, other than extremely similar shades of color, what screw goes with what box.

I downloaded this game because I wanted to find out which was the best wood screw game. This one started out very fun, unfortunately it does have one big flaw in the game. It will give you about five empty spots underneath the different colored toolboxes which you are supposed to fill with the same colored screws. Once you fill up the empty spots the game claims you have run out of spots and stops the play. It doesn’t matter that the screw you just placed in the last empty spot reveals the two colors of screws that you need to fill up the next tool boxes. You would think logically since you just revealed the two screws you needed it would allow the game to continue, but no. Once you fill up the free spots if you can clear the rest of the board by placing them into the next box the gameplay should continue, but it doesn’t. In my opinion this is a major flaw of logic that the game ignores and why I am deleting it.
