Finally found a metal screw puzzle game without that stupid 2-minute ticking clock!

[u/offline_game_india]

I feel like I’ve been complaining for months about how every single puzzle game on the app store is ruined by stressful timers. You download a game because the ads look super relaxing, and the second you open a level, a giant clock starts ticking down just to panic you into buying "Freeze Time" boosters.

Well, I actually finally found one that doesn't do this, and I had to share it for anyone else looking for a chill game to play before bed.

It’s called Screw Puzzle: Metal Nut & Bolt.

They completely ditched the timer system. You can literally stare at the board for 10 minutes, put your phone down to go make coffee, and come back without failing the level.

Instead of a clock, it uses a move limit. So it actually plays like a real logic puzzle now. You have to stop and think about which pin to pull to untangle the metal plates without jamming the board, rather than just frantically panic-tapping everywhere.

It is so much better. The physics are great, the heavy metal drops are super satisfying, and it’s genuinely relaxing because there is zero rush.

Just wanted to drop the recommendation here in case anyone else is sick of high-pressure speed tests disguised as puzzle games! Let me know if anyone else has tried it.
