About

Artangle

Features
Read full description

Artangle is a calm arrow puzzle with a secret: there is a picture hiding under every tangle. Tap an arrow and it slides out the way it points. It only escapes if nothing is in its way, so the order matters. Bump into another arrow and you lose a heart. Clear the whole board and you have uncovered a piece of pixel art, one arrow at a time. WHAT IS DIFFERENT • Every puzzle hides a picture. Each arrow you slide out peels away to show the pixels underneath, so you watch a fox, a rocket or a donut appear as you solve. • A gallery to fill. 100 hand-drawn pictures in twelve themed packs, with up to three stars each for a flawless solve. • Endless wild Pixlings. After the hand-drawn journey, every new level hides a freshly generated creature with its own name. No two are alike. • The Daily Pixling. One new creature puzzle every day, the same for everyone. Keep your streak going and share your time. • Gift a puzzle. Pick a picture you have found, add a short note such as "Happy Birthday!" and send it. Your friend untangles it in their browser and the picture and note appear at the end. They do not need the app. HOW IT PLAYS • No timers in the journey. Three hearts per puzzle, free restarts, and hints when you are stuck. • Every puzzle is guaranteed solvable. • Coins are earned by playing and spent on hints and six board themes, including Midnight, Blueprint and Candy. • Gentle sound and haptic feedback on every slide, bump and reveal. FAIR AND PRIVATE • No ads. No in-app purchases. No account. No tracking. • Plays fully offline. Your progress stays on your device.
