Tap an arrow. If the path ahead is clear, it slides right off the board along its own winding line. If something's in the way, it bumps back — so the real puzzle is finding the right order to set every arrow free. Arrow Flows is a calm, colorful line-untangling puzzle. Simple to pick up, tricky to master, and satisfying every single time a tangled board clears in one clean sweep. CLEAR THE BOARD - Every arrow is a thin winding line pointing one of four ways. - Tap to send it out — but only when nothing blocks its path. - Clear all the arrows to win, and chase 3 stars for a flawless, under-par solve. 500 LEVELS ACROSS 10 WORLDS Journey through Paper Valley, Frostbite Peaks, Boomtown, Whirl Woods, and beyond. Each world adds a new twist: - Frozen arrows that need two taps to thaw. - Bombs that clear a neighbor on the way out. - Rotating arrows that turn with every move. - Linked pairs, portals, ghosts, and heavy stones. By the final world, everything's in play at once. MORE WAYS TO PLAY - Daily Challenge — one seeded puzzle a day, the same for everyone, fully offline. Build a streak and protect it with freeze tokens. - Zen — endless, relaxed play with no lives, no timer, and unlimited undo. Four board sizes from Breeze to Deep Zen. - Rush — a five-minute sprint to clear as many boards as you can. - Master Gauntlet — 100 expert boards and a permanent Grandmaster badge for finishing them all. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS - An Arrow Rating that climbs with clean, fast clears. - Stars, achievements, fastest-clear records, and a 12-week play heatmap. - Rise from Novice all the way to Grandmaster. FULLY OFFLINE No account, no sign-up, no internet required. Everything saves right on your device. Play on a plane, on the train, or anywhere at all. Gentle to learn, deep to master. Untangle your first board and see how far you flow.
