About

Magic Arrows

Read full description

Every arrow has a way out. Can you find the order that clears the board? Magic Arrows is a calm, clever puzzle game about long, winding arrows that cross, block and free one another. Tap an arrow whose path is clear and watch it glide out of the maze. One smart move can open up the whole board; a hasty one can leave you stuck. It's simple to learn and hard to put down. THINK ONE MOVE AHEAD Every maze is a small logic challenge. Follow each arrow's direction, read its turns and spot what stands in its way. As arrows leave, new routes open and the tangle slowly unravels until the board is clear. DIFFICULTY THAT GROWS WITH YOU The first 20 levels introduce the rules step by step, so you're never thrown in at the deep end. From level 21, adaptive difficulty takes over and adjusts each maze to how you play. It stays challenging without becoming frustrating. A NEW MAZE EVERY TIME Boards are generated dynamically, with different arrow counts, shapes, densities and chains of dependencies. The rule stays the same, but no two puzzles play alike.
