Arrows Puzzle is a logic puzzle game built around sliding arrow paths, clearing tight grids, and finding the one move order that actually works. Every level asks you to read the board, plan ahead, and guide each arrow line to the exit without boxing yourself in. It starts clean and simple, then turns into the kind of brain teaser that makes “one more level” sound like an excellent bad idea. There is no timer rushing you, but the challenge is very real: smooth controls, crisp feedback, tricky layouts, and satisfying aha moments when the route finally clicks. Features * Slide arrow paths and solve exit puzzles * Plan the right order before the grid jams up * Brainy levels with a smooth, frustration-light feel * Quick rounds for short breaks or long puzzle sessions * Clean visuals and satisfying movement Download Arrows Puzzle and see how far your logic can carry the arrows.

About

Root Drop

Features
Read full description

A fresh take on falling-block puzzles: every block that drops is a √ (square root). Drop a √ onto another √ to multiply them. When an integer can be extracted, the result splits into an integer below and the remaining √ above. Matching integers connected horizontally or vertically merge into a power block. Two 3s make 3²; add another 3 to make 3³… Keep the chain going to grow bigger numbers. FEATURES • Simple rules built around √, with deep number strategy • Your score is revealed at game over, with a breakdown of how many points each number earned • Share your results with an image of the board • A Collection of all the powers you’ve made • Choose your difficulty (Easy / Normal / Hard) and controls in Settings • Game Center leaderboards for each difficulty, plus achievements • Light and dark themes • Available in Japanese, English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Korean, Spanish, French, and German Discover the satisfaction of watching your numbers grow.
