Arrow Drift is a logic puzzle built out of arrows. Every level is a picture — a heart, a star, an animal — drawn with arrows, and your job is to take it apart piece by piece without a single crash. Tap an arrow and it flies the way it points. If the path is clear, it leaves the board for good. If something is in the way, the arrow slides back to its place and you lose one of your three lives. The rules take five seconds to learn. The right order takes thinking. How it plays - Tap an arrow to launch it in the direction of its head. - A clear path means the arrow flies off the board and is gone. - A blocked path costs one life. You get three per level. - Clear every arrow and the level is done. 1000 levels, one picture at a time Boards start small and grow into large scenes drawn from more than 200 different pictures. New mechanics arrive one at a time, each explained right where you first meet it: - Obstacles — blocks with a counter that disappear only after enough arrows have been cleared. - Colored obstacles — their counter reacts only to arrows of the matching color. - Portals — paired gates that carry an arrow to the other side of the board and keep its direction. Play at your own pace - No timer, no move limit. Think as long as you like. - Restart a level as often as you want: the layout never changes, so a plan you worked out still works. - Stuck? A hint highlights an arrow that is safe to launch right now. You keep three, and one comes back every hour. - Zoom, pan and a small map keep big boards readable on a phone. - Progress is saved automatically, even in the middle of a level. - Plays completely offline. Every level has a solution, and none of them needs luck — only the right order. If you like logic puzzles, unblock games, brain teasers or quiet puzzle games for a short break, Arrow Drift will feel right at home. Developer contact: quintetsoft@gmail.com
