Pin Master is a timed sorting game. The player's goal is to reposition screws to detach colorful metal bars from bronze metal plates. They must complete each task before time runs out.�
The game features a levels-style mode and a daily challenges option. With levels, the player drops bars from a plate successfully to unlock new levels. With daily challenges, the player completes the challenge for a specific day or any previous challenges in a calendar month. For example, the player might attempt to remove bars when there's a magnet on the playfield that draws the bars upward instead of allowing each one to drop easily off the bottom of the screen.
The player can only reposition screws by moving one screw at a time to unblocked holes. In some scenarios, the game doesn't provide enough holes to complete a task. If the player is willing to view videos, they can remove a screw without a hole, freeze the timer, and remove a bar without removing the screws.
Pin Master increases the number of bars and holes over time. Also, the player must use caution. A bar sometimes swings or slides across one or more holes, which blocks access. If the player runs out of time, they can use a heart life to continue play.�
It's important to note that the game cheers the player with positive words. That said, these words can disrupt the player's actions and eat away seconds on the clock before disappearing from the playfield.
