Screw Pop
Unscrew colorful bolts in the right order, drop the wooden planks and sort every screw into its matching box!
About this game
Screw Pop is a relaxing yet clever wood-and-bolts puzzle. Colorful wooden planks are stacked on a workbench and held in place by screws. You tap a screw that is not covered by another plank to unscrew it, and it flies straight into the crate of the same color. Each crate holds three screws, and when it is full a new color takes its place. Screws that do not match any open crate wait in a small row of slots, so plan ahead: if every slot fills up and no screw fits a crate, you are out of space.
When you take out a plank's screws, it swings from its last bolt before dropping off the board. There are 200 levels that grow from a few simple planks to crowded, tricky workbenches.
Tips: Only screws that are not covered by a plank on top can be removed, so look at those first. A screw that matches no open crate goes to a waiting slot and moves into its crate when that color opens. Empty the waiting slots before they fill up. When you are stuck, HINT lights up a safe screw and +SLOT adds an extra waiting slot.
Clearing a level without boosters gives 3 stars. You earn coins and stars as you play and unlock seven wood themes, from Walnut and Cherry to Bamboo and Gold Leaf. On desktop you click a screw to unscrew it, H gives a hint and R restarts the level. On mobile you tap a screw.
How to play
Tap a screw to unscrew it. Only screws that aren't covered by a plank on top can be removed. Each screw flies into the open crate of the same color; every crate holds 3 screws and is replaced by a new color when full. If no open crate matches, the screw goes to a waiting slot and moves into its crate later when that color opens. If all waiting slots fill up and no free screw fits a crate, the level is lost. Remove every screw to drop all the planks and clear the level. Use HINT to highlight a safe screw and +SLOT to add an extra waiting slot. Clear a level without boosters for 3 stars.
