About

SlideOut

Features
Read full description

SlideOut is a calm, tap-only puzzle game. Tap an arrow to slide it off the board in the direction it points. When the path is blocked, you'll see exactly which arrow is in the way. Clear the board, one quiet move at a time. No timers. No score chasing. No flashing lights. Just hundreds of hand-tuned puzzles and the quiet click of progress.
