Screw Match®: ASMR Game

There are a number of things to like about this game. It’s simple yet increases in difficulty as you progress through the levels. Further, the majority of levels are not timed, and it’s not been necessary to constantly compete against other players. Of course like most mobile games, it costs real money to keep winning as time goes on, which isn’t my favorite attribute. But money is not an absolute requirement if you have patience and plan a few steps ahead. The ASMR mini “games” are pretty frequent for those who are looking to squeeze pus-filled boils and zits. Every five levels to start and then every 10 levels (I am at Level 201.) The other basic premise of helping the girl is ridiculously sexist — “who’s going to love this poor girl when her hair is a disaster and she has hairy legs?” 😳 Overall, though, this game has been a pleasant surprise and I’d encourage users to try it out.

This game had potential in the beginning but became impossibly hard pretty fast. I am not enjoying it one bit. There are no options to gain power ups unless you pay a ridiculous amount of money. Deleting game 🙄 Update…while this game does require a lot of money for power ups, the game itself isn’t that bad. After many, many attempts I finally passed a very difficult level and have been enjoying the game since. I will be giving it a 4 star instead of a 1 star. The mini games are enjoyable.

Honestly, I’ve been really enjoying this game so far. I’ve seen a fair number of people who are unhappy with the premise, and I agree it’s a little questionable, but it’s a fictional game and I find the makeovers satisfying. I wish the make over portion was a more central part of the game, kind of like a mini game in itself rather than click to complete actions, as it’s the make over portion that made me download this game in particular, but that’s an issue for another day. As of right now, the biggest issue is one I’ve seen many other reviews mention: why on earth can we not use all five screw holes?? By default, we are given five screw holes at the beginning of a level but we can only use four before auto failing. This makes no sense! We should be able to fill all five screw holes and only fail if we still can’t access the color or style we need. Please let us use all five that we are given. And, on that note, maybe let us scroll to see what colors will be coming up next. Especially for hard levels, it feels like you have to play it several times to figure out which screws to prioritize to be able to pass the level, which is incredibly frustrating. I’m not playing this game to min max anything, I just want a chill make over game, to be perfectly honest. Finally, please balance the level difficulty better. I’m currently on level 104 and it feels like the levels are just getting exponentially harder for no reason. I understand this is a free to play game that relies on ads and microtransactions, but this game has so. many. ads. That has to be making up for it somewhat, along with the weirdly high cost of the microtransactions themselves. I’ve considering getting no ads a few times but I don’t feel like it’s worth $8. I could get a whole game on steam for that and it even states that you still need to watch ads for extra rewards. That’s insane imo. I really think the developers just need to reassess some aspects of the game and it would be way better in the long run.
