About game

Staring at a blank screen during a midday slump is the worst way to spend your break. Nuts and Bolts is the perfect logic game to sharpen your focus and clear your mind in seconds. You start by unscrewing metal components to drop wooden boards from the playing area. Each move requires precision because choosing the wrong bolt can leave you stuck with no way forward. If you move too slowly, the ticking timer will reset your progress, forcing a quick restart. Success depends on clearing every piece from the field before time runs out. The game features over one hundred levels that test your spatial reasoning and strategic planning skills. You can even use boosters like extra time or a drill to overcome those especially tricky brain teasers. Play Nuts and Bolts right here in your browser with no download or registration required.

How to play

Control is carried out by mouse on PC, and by touch on touch devices.

- To pass the game level clear the field from the boards that are bolted down.
- Remove the bolts in the available holes.
- When all the boards leave the playing field - it means that you have won the level.
- Be careful, as sometimes hasty removal of bolts can lead to a stalemate in the level, and it will lead to restarting the level.
- Keep an eye on the limited amount of time, if time runs out the level will restart.
- The game has boosters for convenience. Adding time to the timer gives you 15 extra seconds of time. The drill gives you the ability to drill one extra hole for bolts.
