These goofy eyeballs bounce into near-perfect physics perfection." - Kotaku ‎"Gluddle made me laugh. Several times. Out loud. (...) It’s a puzzle, a physics game, and there’s a lot to figure out, and the thing is, you can’t lose, and it makes you laugh. It is fun. Major Fun. It will make you laugh. It will keep you playing. It will make you laugh some more." - Majorfun.com "Gluddle, which is one of the most addictive physics-based iOS games I’ve come across, has just been bumped to version 2.0. In its initial state, Gluddle is already a fantastic physics puzzler. But now, in its updated version, the game is even more so." - AppAdvice "Gluddle is a fantastic, creative game that doesn’t just copy the mechanics of other puzzle titles, it takes them, mashes them together, and pushes them farther than they have been previously, and has had some great support through updates from the developers. For that, it’s definitely worth checking out." - TheAppShack "Lots of physics-based knock out games will really raise your blood pressure (Angry Birds and Cut the Rope are notorious for this). For some reason, Gluddle doesn’t do this. It’s mellow." - BestKidsApps "It’s like throwing a bouncy ball very hard indoors and seeing what it smashes. Fun, in other words." - Games Asylum "Wa-Wa-wow! This game is absolutely immense!" - WeDoCode "When George Orwell sat down to write dark dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, he couldn't have known that he would one day inspire Gluddle, a physics-based iOS puzzler where you dislodge spying Big Brother-style eyes in the sky." - Eurogamer App of the Day "Gluddle is a solid title. This hidden gem is packed with amusing gameplay, impressive music and colorful graphics that make it one of the top physics-puzzler games in my book." - AppsOnTap "That game is confusing, obscure, weird and has a soundtrack that is almost annoying. Played the demo for a couple of minutes, fell in love with it and bought the full version. Great job, and great game!" - ZombieGorilla

About

Arroway Puzzle

Read full description

■ One rule. Just tap the arrows. The screen is packed with tangled, overlapping arrows. Tap one and it dashes off in the direction it points, retracing its own path as it slides off the screen. Clear every arrow off the board to win. One-tap controls, endless brain-teasing fun. Anyone can pick it up in seconds — and no one can put it down. ■ The satisfying "almost impossible" feeling. If another arrow blocks its path, an arrow can't move. Which one do you release first so everything flows out without a jam? The moment you spot the right first move, the whole tangle unravels in a chain reaction. That gap between how complex it looks and how few taps it really takes is what makes Arroway so satisfying. ■ Don't trust your eyes. That line you thought was a maze wall? It's actually one giant arrow. Arroway is full of clever "gotcha" twists. Study the board carefully and read the hidden dependencies to find your way out. ■ Perfect for you if you... ・want a quick mental workout in spare moments ・love simple, intuitive puzzles ・can't resist "just one more level" games ・enjoy brain training and logic puzzles ■ Features ・One-tap controls — no tutorial needed, play instantly ・Tons of levels, from gentle intro to brain-bending challenges ・Trajectory guide and hints when you get stuck ・Bite-sized levels, just seconds each — ideal for short breaks Set every tangled arrow free. How far can you go?
