Nuts & Bolts Wood Screw Puzzle

Nuts & Bolts Wood Screw Puzzle is a puzzling venture where you're shown many structures held together by nuts and bolts. As someone with the right tools, you're tasked with collecting all the nuts and bolts so they can be reused. Each structure comprises multiple pieces held in place but can quickly be undone with the right tools and order. The more you remove, the less integrity the structure will have, but it will let you get to other nuts and bolts that may not be easily accessible. It's a slow process, but eventually, the structures will come apart, and you'll get all the nuts and bolts back.

About Nuts & Bolts Wood Screw Puzzle

Many games involve crafting and building in multiple ways, but not many require you to take things apart. Things have already been built in this game, but you must use your tools to take them apart. No safety risk comes from destroying these structures, and the nuts and bolts are still pristine. You're removing them so they can be used elsewhere, but you must also ensure that they're organized correctly. It can be very easy to lose track of small pieces like that, so you must arrange them properly and store them safely so they can be accessed when needed.

How to Play

Nuts & Bolts Wood Screw Puzzle is a 2D puzzle game about unscrewing structures using the mouse. To interact with the nuts, bolts, and UI, move the cursor over them and click the Left Mouse Button. The nuts and bolts will unscrew automatically as long as possible. The goal is to unscrew all the nuts and bolts of the structure until they've all been removed and the structure dismantled. If you unscrew to much where you don't have space to store more screws, you must retry.

The main menu leads you into the game, where you're shown the current structure you're on, with more becoming available over time. When you choose a structure, it will be displayed in the center of the screen. Above the structure will be empty nodes that all nuts and bolts can enter when removed. Above the empty nodes are color-coded cases that can each hold three nuts and/or bolts. Only those of the same color can be put into the cases, and once they're complete, they'll be removed from the space. You can only remove the nuts and bolts that aren't blocked by pieces of the structure. You can also gain and use the power-ups stored at the bottom to give you more options. You can move to the following structure once all the nuts and bolts have been removed.

Tips and Tricks

This is a puzzle in which you have to go piece by piece to collect what you need and gain access to more pieces. Since the structure pieces are transparent, you can see the layered parts.
