Screw Jam

Overall, I enjoy the game. It seems to be exactly as shown in the ads, which is rare these days. My one major complaint is that the colors can be hard to tell apart through the glass. (For ex: light purple vs. gray) More than once I've used up my extra holes pursuing the incorrect screw underneath because it looked like another color. Planning ahead makes a huge difference on difficult levels, but hard to do when you can't tell what color a screw is.

overall a fun app. major pitfalls being that some of the colors are hard to differentiate, like the purples and yellow and orange. biggest issue for me is that there are 4 or 5 reserve holes to place pins in, but if you fill all the reserves up, it's an instant fail. that's pretty weird. it'd make sense if you couldn't make any moves for the game to end, but it's a fail because you use a mechanic given to you for the purpose of making space? lil bit cringe.

A good design ruined by ads, psychological manipulation, and excessive monetization. Even when you give them a few bucks to turn off the ads, everything about the metagame structure pushes you to buy things. I was wading through that because the underlying puzzle is good, but when they introduce the countdown timer mechanic, it's clear they're just trying to frustrate you into buying more upgrades. I hate the state of mobile gaming.
