Match. Chain. Clear the board. Sagitta Chains is a quick, calm arrow puzzle game built around satisfying chain reactions. Tap arrows to send them flying. Line up arrows that share the same color and direction, then trigger them together for bigger scores. The longer the chain, the better the reward. Every level is a fresh, generated puzzle, so the game never runs out. Practice mode teaches you the game by actually playing it, then sends you into Play when you are ready. Make it your own. Pick from free and Pro visual themes that restyle the whole game, from the board and arrows to the menus and even the sounds. Switch anytime from the Themes screen. Go Pro, if you like. Sagitta Chains is free with no ads, built on nights and weekends. One optional purchase unlocks every Pro theme, like the green-CRT Classic Arcade, and lets you start a new game at the level your last run ended on instead of climbing from level 1 every time. More Pro features arrive as I build them. It works on all your devices, forever. Entirely optional, never pay-to-win. Take your records with you.
