This isn’t your average line drawing game! Join Mr. Apple on a cross-country road trip to visit national and state parks across the United States, navigate puzzles, collect stars, and learn about U.S. civics. Use your finger or stylus and draw lines for Mr. Apple to roll down and into the correct barrel. But choose your path wisely! Pesky gravity, sharp spikes, goopy honey, and other surprises could send Mr. Apple careening off-road. Harness the power of wind, bouncers, teleporters and more to maneuver past obstacles or soar through the air to victory! Playable with or without an internet connection, Civics Scribble offers free (and ad-free) educational fun for the whole family. Whether you are a civics star or a line-drawing expert, Civics Scribble will challenge you to forge your own path!

About

Arrow Stack!

Features
Read full description

Arrow Stack! is a colorful 3D puzzle game about clearing arrow blocks in the right order. Tap, think, and unstack each shape piece by piece. Every block can only move in the direction it points, so one smart move can open the whole puzzle, while one rushed tap can block your path. Read the arrows, plan your moves, and find the cleanest way to clear the stack. From rainbows and penguins to lightning bolts, houses, planets, pencils, and more, each level turns a simple rule into a fresh 3D challenge. The early stages are easy to understand, but later puzzles ask you to plan ahead, spot hidden routes, and solve layered stacks without wasting moves. Features: - Simple tap-to-clear arrow block gameplay - Bright 3D voxel-style puzzle shapes - Levels built around logic, order, and spatial thinking - Relaxing casual pacing with satisfying block-clearing moments - New shapes and harder stacks as you progress Can you read the arrows and clear every stack?
