Overview
Screw Puzzle is a portrait puzzle game about clearing a wooden board one fastener at a time. Each stage begins with metal bars or brackets held in place by screws, plus a small number of open holes below the pieces. Choose a screw, place it into an available hole, and watch the attached part react to gravity. A move that looks obvious can change the angle of a bar, reveal another opening, or leave a needed screw stranded. The early levels teach the idea with a single piece before introducing overlapping bars and more decisions on the same board.

Objective and input
How to Play
The goal is to remove every attached piece from the board. First select a visible screw. Then select an empty hole to relocate it. When a screw no longer supports a bar, the piece can swing or fall, which may create the next usable space. Keep checking which screws still hold a piece in place and avoid filling an open hole before you know what it unlocks. A level advances automatically after the board has been cleared, so the puzzle loop stays focused on the next arrangement.
Mobile Controls
Tap a screw, then tap an empty hole to relocate it.
What stands out
Features
Two-step screw moves
Every move is easy to read: choose one screw first, then choose a destination hole.
Physics-led board changes
Bars rotate and drop after support is removed, making each relocation change the next decision.
Compact spatial puzzles
Small boards make it practical to inspect the order of screws, openings, and attached pieces before committing.
Quick level progression
Clearing a board moves directly to the next layout, from the tutorial-style first puzzle to denser arrangements.
Useful guidance
Gameplay Tips
- 1
Start with a screw whose removal gives a bar room to rotate; that move can expose the most useful next opening.
- 2
Before filling the last visible hole, check whether another attached piece will need it after the board shifts.
- 3
Use the simple first stages to learn how a moved screw changes support before tackling boards with multiple bars.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the objective of each stage?
Every board holds metal bars or brackets fixed in place by screws, plus a few open holes. Your job is to relocate screws into the holes until every attached piece has been removed from the board, which then advances you to the next layout.
How does a move actually work?
It's always two steps: tap a visible screw, then tap an empty hole to move it there. Once a screw no longer supports a bar, gravity takes over — the piece can swing or drop, which often reveals the next usable opening.
How do I avoid blocking myself?
Start with a screw whose removal gives a bar room to rotate, since that tends to expose the most useful opening. And before filling the last visible hole, check whether another attached piece will still need that space after the board shifts.
Is this game a good fit for quick sessions?
Very much so. The boards are compact enough to inspect before committing, the two-step input works naturally on a touch screen, and clearing one board moves straight to the next. It rewards planning a few moves ahead rather than speed.
