About

Arrow Untangle

Features
Read full description

Pull the arrows out of the picture, one at a time. An arrow travels straight in the direction its head points. If even one other arrow sits anywhere along that path, it cannot leave — it bumps into the blocker and slides back. Which one do you take out first, so that every last arrow comes out? That is the puzzle. ONE HUNDRED STAGES, NO PICTURE TWICE A heart, a palm tree, a giraffe, a penguin, a snowman. Animals, food, tools, vehicles — and famous paintings. All one hundred stages are different pictures. 200 EXTRA STAGES Clear 50 stages of the main game to unlock them. Every EXTRA board is the size of stage 100, and you can play them in any order. Kitchenware and tools, creatures, world landmarks and famous paintings — two hundred more pictures, all different. THE PICTURES GET DENSER The first stage has twelve arrows. The last ones have close to eighty. The board grows, the drawing gets finer, and fewer arrows can be taken out at a glance. You start having to follow a path to the edge with your eyes before you commit. WHEN YOU GET STUCK - Hint — highlights one arrow that can come out right now, in green - Undo — step back as many moves as you like, so dead ends cost nothing - Grid — shows the squares, making paths easier to follow - Zoom — pinch with two fingers to get up to 14x closer LIGHT AND DARK Switch between a white board and a black board with white arrows. Easy on the eyes late at night. HOW TO PLAY 1. Tap an arrow. 2. If its path is clear, it slides straight off the screen. 3. If it is blocked, it bumps and comes back. The blocker flashes red. 4. Three mistakes uses up your lives. Returning to the stage list refills them. Playable with no connection (ads simply do not appear).
