Wood Nuts & Bolts Puzzle 12+

The game itself is fun…even the super challenging levels that take you multiple tries. The problem is with the ads. Several are 90 second ads and there are more that are multipart ads where the first part is 30-60 seconds, then you close it out Nd a second part opens up and plays for another 15-30 seconds, and then another time you have to x out. It’s just way too many clicks and too much time. Ads should max out at 30 seconds. Any longer than that is a waste and an annoyance that ensured I will never buy or download what is being advertised. Additionally there are a few ads that glitch out and freeze, so you’ve agreed to watch an ad to earn extra time or a game assist and after watching the ad you can’t close the ad without closing the app, which, you guessed it, means starting the level over. No bueno. Anyway, today I got on to play and the puzzle level comes up with a blank background and the timer running. No bolts, no boards…nothing to do. Timer runs out and I try again…same thing. This might be it for me. Fun concept but too many long ads and glitches, and I refuse to do in app purchases. Oh well.

I would love this game so much more without the time factor. I don’t really care they have an easy level and then a hard one and then just rinse and repeat. I love sitting forever to figure it out. But forcing me to watch a single ad that’s 80 seconds long with no exiting it just to undo a single move… yeah, that’s annoying. Another undo, 30 second ad. That’s fine. And then another 80 seconds. Need another undo? 30 seconds. I think I’m on the fourth or fifth hard level and even now, they basically want you to spend money and they don’t hide it. And all of this is for a single hard level that’s maybe 3:30 minutes long. Why am I spending more time watching ads than I am playing the game? If this is all at level 5, why would I even bother continuing to play? If this was like level 60, I could hear you out on that. This is level 5. If you took away the timed part of levels, I’d be a lot less annoyed. That or installing a “zen mode” where you just play over and over and over while not trying to beat a clock or get a better score. I’m not keeping this because it’s incredibly depressing that even ads on streaming platforms are shorter than the ones in a single game where you undo a move three or four times. When you undo a single move, you don’t get that time back. Wanna restart the level? 50/50 chance you get an 80 second ad.

I do genuinely enjoy this game it’s not extremely easy like other puzzle games and not even puzzle games like this just other games in general but I do like that it’s hard maybe a little too hard but fun, probably can be harder as you play but still fun. What I don’t like is I was just playing a level and I watched a 80 second ad to get a open hole and played more messed up tried to use a booster was watching the ad and the screen just went black. It went completely blank and that was the 2nd or 3rd time that’s happened I didn’t mind the other times cause I wasn’t knee deep in a game but this is infuriating. I have to watch these extremely long ads that aren’t even 30 seconds maximum and went in to watch another ad for the game to completely crash out causing my game to be completely lost. I had to close out the app come back in and I have to restart and this level is very hard. Very fun game but it can’t crash like this randomly when I’m trying to play then on top of that lose my progress. What if I was at the very end watched ads and everything then it completely bugs out like this? Would be extremely mad fix this, and maybe pace the hard levels a bit really fun but disappointed.
