About

Arrow Merge

Features
Read full description

Arrow Merge fuses two beloved mechanics into one satisfying core: the "solve it in the right order" brain of arrow puzzles and the "two become one, level up" loop of merge games. Tap an arrow — it flies the way it points. If it hits a same-colour, same-level arrow on the way, it doesn't lose… it FUSES into a higher-level arrow! The goal is simple: merge and clear every arrow off the board. The real puzzle is figuring out which arrow to fire, and in what order, on a packed board. A wrong order jams the board — but no worries: unlimited undo, and every level is designed to be solvable. FEATURES • 30 hand-crafted, solver-verified levels — from gentle to packed • Collision = reward: arrow-puzzle + merge in a single mechanic • Forge Lv.2 → Lv.5 arrows and fill your collection • Frozen arrows, rainbow jokers and more • 1–3 stars: the fewer moves, the better • Completely FREE — no ads, no internet, no tracking, no purchases • One-hand portrait, zen flow — take all the time you want Calm but brain-bending. Download, fire your first arrow, and watch the chain!
