Herugolf is puzzle game. The rule is simple. 1. Advance the golf balls to the holes using a series of strokes. 2. The number in a ball indicates the length of the first stroke; any subsequent stroke must be 1 less in length than the preceding stroke. 3. A stroke moves the ball horizontally or vertically; the direction may change at every stop. 4. A stroke cannot stop in a water; a cell can be traversed at most once; i.e. strokes cannot cross or overlay.

Every arrow wants out. Tap one and it flies off the way it points โ€” unless something is in the way. ONE RULE CHANGES EVERYTHING An arrow that passes a mirror FLIPS it. So whichever arrow you clear first rewrites the paths of the ones left behind. Not every open arrow is the right arrow. IT TEACHES, THEN IT TESTS The first time a new rule appears the game stops, explains it, and lets you try it in a level with no traps. Mirror, spinning arrow, rock, portal, chained arrow, iced arrow, counted arrow. 300 VERIFIED LEVELS From 7 arrows to 32, on boards from 5x5 to 8x8. Every level is proven solvable by a solver before it ships โ€” and proven to require real thought. THE DAILY DUEL One board a day, identical for every player on earth. Solve it and share your grid: green for every clean move, red for every wasted one.
