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? Watch a short ad for more of them, or to start a board over - Full VoiceOver support - every square is readable and playable - Reduce Motion, Dynamic Type and a colourblind-friendly board where colour never carries meaning - Designed for both light and dark FREE, WITH ADS Arrow Bloom is free to play, supported by ads shown between boards - never during a puzzle, and never before you have finished your first one. One optional payment removes every ad for good. It is not a subscription, and every level and mode is unlocked either way. No account. No sign-in. Your progress, scores and streaks stay on your device.

XNET GAMES is two quick, relaxing puzzles in one app — no ads, no accounts, no data collected. 00TEN — a number puzzle with a sting in its tail. Connect numbers in a straight line — across, down, or diagonally — to clear them: • TWINS: two or more identical numbers (9·9, 9·9·9…) • TENS: numbers that add up to exactly 10 (6·4, 4·2·4, 1·6·3) Tap a number and every tile it could line up with lights up. Cleared tiles stay on the board, so lines can skip right over them; clear a whole row and it disappears for bonus points. Every few moves a new line rises from the bottom, so plan ahead and use your tools: a HAMMER that recharges as you score, HINTS when you're stuck, and BOMBS that take out a whole row. SWEET MATCH — sort the candies. Tap a tube to lift the candies on top, tap another to pour them in. Same colour on same colour, or into an empty tube, until every tube holds a single flavour. Levels never run out: each one is dealt on the spot and checked to be solvable before you see it, and new colours arrive as you climb. Undo, restart, and extra tubes are always free. No timer, no lives. Pick a game from the title screen. Both save automatically; beat your best score in 00TEN and share it with friends.
