Wood Nuts: Screw Puzzle 4+

Why am I frustrated you ask? Well It really don’t make much sense to have ads that promote games with no ads it’s the craziest oxymoron ever the game itself is great but too many repeating ads plus there are almost no rewards or bonuses for beating levels you’re not giving the player any incentive to continue playing please revaluate your thought process on the true concept of the game cause in all reality I truly have considered uninstalling this app several times but I figure I whereas I know I’m not the only one who feels this way.

This game doesn’t like it when you’re not connected to the internet. I play on my iPad, so cellular service isn’t an option when I’m without Wi-Fi. This game does not care that this is a common experience for many people. Every 10-30 seconds it tells me to retry connecting to the internet. It does not pause the timer or gameplay when doing so. Since this game is reliant on timed moves, this means I sometimes have to restart the level after I receive the pop up. It is absolutely infuriating. And speaking of, this game has two puzzles every level: an easy and a hard. If you want to restart while on the latter puzzle, you can either pay in-game currency to restart only the puzzle you’re on, or you can quit and have to do the first puzzle all over again. And some of these levels are ridiculously hard in the beginning. The devs did not take into account any sort of skill progression. The undo button is also something you have to use in-game currency on, instead of being free (and just lowering your score when used) like a normal game would. Overall this game design feels really malicious and the fact it keeps trying to connect to the internet when it doesn’t need to makes me wonder if the devs are using this game to collect and sell users’ data

When you’re playing the game, is fantastic. It really challenges you and causes you to think about the order to remove things in. I truly enjoy it. That’s the good part. The incredibly sucky part is that as you progress, and just as you start getting the hang of the game and really start getting challenged, you’re forced to watch these increasingly longer and longer and dumber and dumber ads. I know this is not the only game that is afflicted with this. I’m not against watching the occasional ad or short ads in between games. I know we all have bills to pay and we need to make money. But ads that are running up to a minute just feel unreasonable, especially if you’re like me who plays these types of games when I have the occasional 15 minute break. I would gladly watch a one minute ad at the very beginning of a gameplay session or 20 second ad in between each round. As of right now, I actually went ahead and uninstalled it. There must be some happy medium. Is there an ad free version I can pay for?
