Slide arrows. Clear lanes. Unblock the 8x8 board. Arrowed is a calm sliding-arrow logic puzzle. An 8x8 board, a handful of arrows pointing in different directions, and one rule: an arrow can only slide off the board when its lane is clear. Find the right unblock order and the whole board cascades open. HOW TO PLAY 1. Each level scatters arrows across an 8x8 grid — straight arrows and L-shaped arrows. 2. Tap an arrow to slide it off the board in its arrowhead direction. 3. An arrow can only leave when the lane between its head and the edge is empty. 4. Find the unblock order. Every level has at least one path that solves the whole board. 5. Out of moves? Use a hint to highlight a tappable arrow. KEY FEATURES • 100 hand-tuned levels, deterministic seeds — restart the same puzzle as many times as you like • Calm gameplay — no timers, no fake urgency, no daily-login traps, no streak punishments • Minimal design — clean ink-on-white board, soft lavender accents, no flashing pop-ups • Hints when you need them — three per level, no ad walls in core gameplay • Three lives per level — easy enough for a coffee break, hard enough to think • Offline first — no account, no network, no ads in the core puzzle • Tiny download — under 50 MB, runs smooth on any modern iPhone • Premium subscription is optional and only removes the banner WHY ARROWED Most puzzle apps bury the puzzle under fake-urgency mechanics — countdown timers, daily challenges, ads stacked between every move. Arrowed does the opposite. The board stands on its own. You get to think. The arrows wait for you. Slide-arrow puzzle, lane-clear puzzle, unblock-style logic puzzle, brain teaser, IQ game, zen casual game — every player calls it something different. Underneath it is one thing: tap, slide, clear. 8x8. Offline. No urgency. Privacy-friendly. No ads in core gameplay. No account required.
