About

Arrow Out

Read full description

Two logic puzzles. One satisfying clear. Tap arrows free from a crowded grid — then switch to Magic Arrow Pop. Fire a colored bow, bounce shots off diversion tiles, split the path, and pop every matching gem slime. Easy to start, delightfully clever to solve. HOW IT WORKS • Arrow Out: Tap arrows to let them escape without blocking others. Order matters—one wrong tap jams the board. • Magic Arrow Pop: Tap a bow matching a gem slime’s color. Same color pops; wrong color stays. • Diversion Tiles: Bounce arrows to redirect shots around tight corners. • Splitter Tiles: Divide one shot into two paths to double your clear power. • Star Scoring: You get 3 hearts. Protect them across every move to claim a 3-star rating. KEY FEATURES • Two Unique Modes: Master spatial untangling, then switch to color-ricochet tactics. • 1,350+ Stages: 1,001 Arrow Out levels plus 350 Magic Pop boards. • Tactical Boosters: Rainbow Arrow: Pops slimes of any color when you run out of moves. Bomb: Clears edge-adjacent targets to open up stuck paths. Magic Wand: Instantly fires a valid shot to protect your streak. Hint: Points out the next safe play. • Zero Twitch Stress: No finger-dragging or aiming panic. Tap, plan, and watch the chain reaction play out. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • Crisp pops, colorful particle bursts, and rewarding board clears. • Horned gem slimes that look cute but demand real foresight. • Pure logic over luck: read the bounces, calculate splits, and plan ahead. • Ideal for a quick 2-minute break or hours of "just one more board." PERFECT FOR Fans of arrow escapes, color-match logic, path planners, and calm brain teasers. Clean, intuitive mechanics great for all ages. NOTES • Contains ads, with optional rewarded videos for hints and revives. • Pure puzzle gaming—no real-money cash-out mechanics. Ready for the next board? Download Arrow Out: Magic Pop and start clearing today!
