About

Arrows

Arrows - Escape Board is a tap-away puzzle where every piece on the board is an arrow, and tapping one sends it flying off the grid - but only if the path ahead is completely clear. Simple to learn, hard to put down: scan the board, find the arrow with a clear runway, and tap. Get it wrong and the piece bumps back and turns red - no wasted moves, just a nudge to look again. FEATURES Unlimited procedurally generated levels - no two boards feel the same Milestone boards every 10 levels - bigger, denser, tougher Daily Challenge - three brutal hand-picked boards every day, same for every player Global leaderboard - climb the ranks and see how you stack up Awards & records - track win streaks, perfect clears, and personal bests Smart hints when you're stuck - never feel truly lost Light & dark themes Smooth, hand-drawn board animations - every arrow slides, bends, and flows off the board exactly like it should No timers, no forced moves - just you, a packed grid, and a satisfying puzzle to unravel one arrow at a time.
