Tap an arrow and it flies off the board. Simple. But it leaves flowers growing exactly where it went, and those flowers block every arrow after it. That one rule turns a board of arrows into a real puzzle. Clear them in the wrong order and you wall yourself in. Find the right order and the whole board opens up like a garden. A ONE-TAP GAME WITH REAL DEPTH No timers. No move limits. No lives to wait for. Just you, a board, and the question of what to clear first. 120 HAND-VERIFIED LEVELS Every level in Arrow Bloom is checked by a solver before it ships, so you always know a solution exists. Difficulty is measured, not guessed: later boards contain more moves that look fine and quietly lose the level. THE DAILY BLOOM One puzzle a day, the same board for every player in the world. Build a streak, and share how you did without spoiling the solution. FIVE CHAPTERS First Light, Wild Garden, Deep Thicket, Night Bloom and Golden Hour. Partway through, the rule itself deepens - arrows begin leaving two flowers instead of one. ZEN MODE Endless, unhurried boards that never dead-end. For when you want the feel of the game without the thinking. BLOOM RUN Endless boards where your score carries from one to the next and the grid keeps filling up. One dead end ends the run. Beat your own best. GROW A GARDEN Every level you clear plants a flower. Match the best line the solver proved was there, and it blooms perfect. PLAYS THE WAY YOU DO - Undos and hints are yours, not the board's - spend them when they matter - Hints are solver-backed, so they are always genuinely safe - Out of charges?

A puzzle where numbered blocks become roads. Drag a block and its number drops by 1 for every square it moves. When it hits exactly 0, the block locks in place and turns into a road. Turn every block into road and connect the two dots to clear the stage. That's the whole rule. But the lower a number gets, the less room you have to move — slide carelessly and the last road won't reach. Which block, in which order, to where: a classic logic puzzle about thinking ahead. HOW TO PLAY 1. Drag a numbered block — each square it moves costs 1 2. At exactly 0, it locks in place and becomes road 3. Turn every block into road and connect the two dots 4. Walls and finished roads block the way — order matters 5. Made a mistake? Tap a road to pick the block back up WHAT KIND OF PUZZLE IS IT? It combines the deduction of Sudoku with the move-order planning of Sokoban in one game. Every stage can be solved by logic alone — no luck, no guessing. Works nicely as a daily brain workout, too. 1,000 STAGES The first boards take ten seconds; later ones will keep you thinking for minutes. Difficulty rises step by step, and new mechanics are learned by playing — no long tutorials to read. PLAY ANYTIME • Works offline — on the train, on a plane • No timers, no lives, no stamina • Quit mid-puzzle and pick up right where you left off • Hints are there when you're stuck • Free to play That moment when the last block lands on exactly 0 and the road connects — deeply satisfying. Start with the first ten stages and see.
