About Screw Puzzle
Screw Puzzle is a logic game built from a workbench. Metal plates are held in place by screws. Your job is to release every plate, and the way to do it is to take the screws out.
A screw cannot simply be thrown away. Each one you remove has to go into an empty hole somewhere else on the board. That one rule creates the puzzle. Where you put each screw matters, because a screw moved to the wrong place can end up holding something you were about to free.
Levels vary in what they ask of you, and each one may call for a different screw-driving skill. The controls are two taps: one on the screw, one on the hole. It is a portrait game, easy to play one-handed, and it scratches the same itch as taking something apart to see how it works.
How to play Screw Puzzle
- Tap a screw to pick it up.
- Tap an empty hole to place the screw there.
- Remove the screws holding a plate so the plate falls away.
- Keep moving screws until nothing is holding the plates back.
- Release all the metal plates to complete the level.
Tips and tricks
- Study the level before your first move and work out which screws are holding each plate.
- Treat empty holes as your working space. Think before filling one, because you may need it later.
- Each level has its own scene, so do not assume the approach from the last level will work on this one.
- Before moving a screw, check that its new hole is not about to be needed by the plate you want to drop next.
