Development Team:

Created by BoltWorks Studio, a 10-member team specializing in mechanical puzzle games. Led by ex-Ubisoft engineer Marie Renault, the team spent 18 months refining Screw Out’s physics engine. BoltWorks’ prior titles include the award-winning *GearMinds* (2019) and *PipeDream 3D* (2021).

Competitive Products:

1. Screw Master 3D: More realistic industrial scenarios but lacks tool variety.

2. Woodle Screw Jam: Whimsical aesthetic but inferior physics simulation.

3. Unjumble!: Strong narrative integration but only 2D puzzles.

4. BoltBreaker Pro: Focuses on speedruns, less satisfying tactile feedback.
