★★★★★ New update makes game almost entirely impossible
Fri Nov 21 2025 Annamarie SkylarI’ve been enjoying this game since July but a few days ago it was updated to where you can no longer watch ads to get extra boxes for screws. This has made some of the hard levels entirely impossible. I have played level 414 about six times and am unable to beat it because I can only use the extra hole, clear slots, and break a piece once each and cannot add the two extra boxes.
I’m not sure why this was changed but it’s making me no longer want to play because it is extremely frustrating. This is sad for me because it was one of my favorite games to play while listening to audiobooks and podcasts.
★★★★★ RIGGED & FRUSTRATING! PRO DEVELOPER & ANTI PLAYER
Sat Oct 11 2025 Meg Tha PoohWhile the game can be fun, it’s definitely rigged for you to spend money. You absolutely CANNOT when a hard level without spending money. You have to buy coins in order to buy boosters. Even when you get close to winning, it’s like the game is programmed to make sure you don’t win without buying boosters.
The ads are ridiculously long. I remember spending almost 4 minutes in an ad to receive ONE booster! There’s an ad after every game & the cost to remove the ads is more than any other game I’ve ever played.
The daily spins ARE NOT random. You will always land on the 15 minutes of unlimited lives. Which is pointless cause you can’t win a hard level without boosters. I’ve done 3 daily spins (2 of which you have to watch ads to receive) for almost a month & I’ve only landed on the hammer & drill maybe 3 times, never has it landed on a magnet or enough coins to matter. I may have landed on 50 coins twice. Most days, I’ve done 3 spins & ALWAYS land on the 15 minutes of unlimited lives. You can’t tell me it isn’t rigged. This game is more about the developers making money & less about the players actually winning & having fun!
★★★★★ Used to love this but..
Wed Jan 21 2026 NickiHendrXI used to love playing this game but now I don’t see myself playing anymore. I used to be able to watch multiple ads to get a boosters to help me complete the harder puzzles, but now that option is removed after watching an ad just one time per booster. It’s honestly annoying and clearly this is meant to push you to spend real money for coins or ad free gameplay. I just don’t have money to spare for that, and it’s a shame that i can’t progress through the harder levels without being capped at a certain number of boosters. Also, the in coin games that you receive for completing levels are too little, I especially think that you should receive more coins for completing harder levels. That being said i’m stuck on level 47 because I don’t have the money to buy coins and they limited how many ads i can watch for the boosters. It’s such a shame, but there are multiple “screw” games on the app store so i will try those instead. If y’all could fix this and allow us to watch as many ads as we need for boosters again then i will definitely come back to playing.
★★★★★ Just wants you to pay more and more $$
Sun Dec 28 2025 laurelclaire26I was really enjoying this game and had been playing it for over a month so I decided to splurge and buy the no required ads. There are additional optional ads which I was happy to watch to get bonus tools as the coin cost is very high for how many coins you can earn. But since I bought the no required ads, it’s also taken away the optional ads which makes the game too difficult without boosts. So it’s really hard to win a level and it ruins the fun of the game. I was happy to watch the optional ads and will not be buying any coins as they are wayyy too expensive for what it gets you in the game. So I will probably have to download another app and make sure not to pay them money because for this one it seems that once they got some of my money, they made my account difficult so I would have to pay them more, which I will not do. What a waste of buying the ad free pack because it ruined the game.
★★★★★ Can’t win without paying money.
Fri Jul 11 2025 snaponeThe game is really fun….. until!!!! Once you reach higher levels you can’t win as you as watching ads to get boosters are limited. In order to win the level you are forced to pay for boosters. Wow! So these developers not only track me, get me to generate revenues by watching ads, but now limit the number of ads, then, require me to pay for boosters in order to play on this game and finish the level. Look I get that levels are made difficult to get some kind of income, but seriously? I wonder what kind of income the developers make when I won’t buy boosters? There are many screw apps available to play and use unlimited access to ads to complete levels, even though the ads are long. It’s time for me to delete this game? Then, not only the developers won’t get tracking info from me, but they lose my ads revenues too. Seems like the developers would want to keep folks playing their games.
★★★★★ Cash Grab. Don’t get.
Sat Oct 04 2025 dev273918The game itself is fine… when it’s not trying to nickel and dime you. Some of the levels, the “SUPER HARD” levels are 100% just trying to get you to buy coins or watch ads and are impossible to finish without doing so. I’ll admit I fell for the bit for a little, thank God I didn’t spend any of my own money and just watched ads. Skill or pattern recognition are not rewarded in this game because it’s specifically designed so that the color box you need won’t show up. I believe each level actually has a certain amount of ads or coins needed to be purchased before you can finish the level. I’d love to find a game like this that rewards pattern recognition and skill. I’d play that consistently. You can’t be better or worse at this game, just spend more or less money or watch more or less ads. If I could give this 0 stars I would. Absolute malarkey.
★★★★★ Okay, until you dare spend money on it
Sun Oct 05 2025 murphalaI played this game for quite a long time. I loved it! Graphics were great, it was challenging at times, but relaxing mostly. Every now and then, I’d hit a level that made me want to get a few extra coins or boosters, but mostly I resisted. They offer free boosters for watching some ads. That usually did the trick, or came close. Until that one fateful day when I was irritable, it was a double-level puzzle, and I couldn’t get past it after two tries and all the ad boosters. On the third try, after burning all my free ad boosters, I decided to heck with it and bought some package for some cheap price 2.99? Maybe? Anyway, it got me through and on I played. The next time I went in, I played, reached a difficult level and went to get a second extra box for the screws and I couldn’t get that last box for an ad anymore. It cost coins. Ok, no problem. I used the other 3 free with an ad boosters. Played on fine for a few days, and hit another tough level. I tried 3 times and then thought, I’ll just splurge on another package of coins and boosters. One of the cheaper ones. Fine, got past that level. The next day, I was playing and went to go get a booster for the first extra screw box and I couldn’t no longer get any screw boxes for free. So I hit the other boosters. NOW THEY ALL required coins. No way to get a freebie without coins. I had no coins. And was not inclined to buy more. I did a little sleuthing and apparently, even if you don’t buy the app with no ads, if you buy ANYTHING in an in-app purchase, the company has decided you can pay for everything from there on out. No free booster by watching an ad. You used to get one free of each kind but after that you paid coins for them. So buying anything from them actually results in a punishment. And I say, no thank you. And I still had to watch ads in between levels! So, sadly, I’m uninstalling the game and moving on.
WHATEVER YOU DO, DON’T MAKE IN-APP PURCHASES! You’ll get a couple of coins and boosters, but will be damned to a future if no free boosters with ad-watching. And on impossible levels, that’s the kiss of death. Bye bye Screw Land 3D!
★★★★★ Ads
Tue Dec 30 2025 amrt1023The game is a great pass time, and lets you make calculated moves. My only issue would be that although I love a challenge the boxes that get thrown out are ones that they know you cannot make a possible move without losing. The fact that it allows you 5 slots to place screws in but you automatically lose the round if you use them all is also quite unfair. It seems almost greedy that you will be charged to get extra coins, and you cannot watch an ad to get free power ups, but if you lose around and choose to try again it will make you watch an ad. Other than that the game is pretty ok when you’re bored and want to play a game on your phone.
