Game DNA Library

Screw Bolts Puzzle is built around removal order, plate movement under gravity, and a limited set of spare holes. Wooden or metal plates are held by several bolts. After removing one, the bolt must occupy an available hole, while a plate that loses enough support rotates or falls. That movement can reveal the next connection, but it can also cover a hole or bolt that is still needed. Begin by identifying supports shared by several layers, plates that need only one more release, and the direction in which each loose piece is likely to move. A bolt being clickable does not make it the correct first choice. If it consumes the only transfer hole, the critical support needed next may have nowhere to go. Preserve at least one working position and picture the board after gravity acts, not only at the instant of the click. Prefer an outer plate that can fall completely away without covering another connection, then use the newly exposed space to approach inner layers. When only one spare hole remains, remove a bolt only if that action will immediately release a plate or return another position to use. Otherwise, search for a sequence that creates space first. Once a plate starts to rotate, pause and read the structure again. Continuing the original plan without accounting for its new angle is a common way to hide a useful hole. If a critical bolt is covered by a plank, inspect the supports on the opposite side and determine whether releasing one will let gravity swing the obstruction away. Do not dismantle a stable completed area at random. A deadlock is usually created before the final unavailable move. Trace backward to the first transfer that occupied a hole without releasing a plate, exposing a key point, or enabling the next step. That move probably belongs later in the sequence. On complex boards, divide the structure into layers and finish one removable section while keeping the central transfer position available. Every useful removal should accomplish at least one concrete purpose: drop a plate, reveal a hidden connection, or preserve enough room for the following bolt. Applying that check prevents legal but unproductive clicks and turns the tangled structure into a controlled order of releases until all target plates have fallen.

🕹️ Gameplay Logic

Selecting a bolt removes one support and occupies another temporary hole. A plate moves under gravity after losing enough support. The stage clears when every target plate is released; running out of holes or allowing a plate to cover a critical position creates a deadlock.

🎮 How to Play

- Count the spare holes and identify the supports for every plate.

- Remove a bolt that releases an upper plate or exposes another hole first.

- Predict the plate's falling direction before tapping so it does not cover a key slot.

- Keep one working hole available until the final group of plates is released.

🏆 Pro Tips

- Shared bolts have the greatest effect, but confirm that the released plate will not block another route.

- With one spare hole left, avoid removing a bolt that cannot release a plate immediately.

- Clear upper and outer structures first so internal supports remain visible.

- After a deadlock, find the first move that filled every hole instead of changing the entire sequence.

🧬 Game DNA Analysis

Mental 90: Every bolt is both a support and a future user of a temporary hole, while the falling board may cover another critical point.

Healing 68: Returning bolts and watching panels drop away gives the complete dismantling a clear, orderly payoff.

Stamina 62: Complex stages reward patient tracking of supports because limited holes leave little room for repeated trial and error.

Common Questions (FAQ)

Prefer a bolt that releases an upper plate or exposes a new hole, while checking that the falling plate will not block another position.
Continue only when that bolt immediately releases a plate or frees another slot; otherwise revise an earlier removal.
Remove the bolt in the covered area earlier, or retain another support so the plate falls in a different direction.
If every spare hole will be occupied and no plate is ready to release, backtrack and change the previous removal.
