About

Flick Arrow Game

Read full description

Tap into your reflexes. Flick Arrow is a fast-paced reaction game where every second matters. The setup is simple: each on-screen tile shows an arrow pointing up, down, left, or right. Swipe each tile in the direction of its arrow before its 3-second timer runs out. Miss the deadline or swipe the wrong way, and the round ends. Every correct swipe scores a point, resets the timer, and a fresh arrow appears. Sounds easy. It isn't. KEY FEATURES โ€ข Two game modes * Regular: classic 4-tile grid, perfect for warming up reflexes * Random: dynamic 3x3 grid that adds new tiles as you clear them โ€” chaos guaranteed โ€ข Multi-touch action Use both thumbs simultaneously. Swipe two arrows at the same time to score faster. โ€ข Real difficulty curve Start at 3.0s per arrow. Every 25 points, the timer drops 0.4s. After 125 points, you're working with 1.0s โ€” pure reflex territory. โ€ข Worldwide leaderboard Pick a nickname, climb the global rankings. Separate boards for Regular and Random modes. โ€ข Built-in haptic feedback and sound effects Each correct swipe pulses your phone; each game-over delivers a satisfying buzz. Toggle the silent-mode override if you want sound regardless of your phone's ring switch. โ€ข Minimal, fast UI Synthwave-inspired dark theme. No ads. No timers between rounds. No menus. Tap Start, play, repeat. โ€ข Privacy-first Anonymous accounts. We don't collect your email, phone number, or any personal data. Just your nickname and your scores. CONTROLS Swipe a tile in the direction of its arrow: * Up: drag the tile up * Down: drag the tile down * Left: drag the tile left * Right: drag the tile right That's it. No tutorials, no learning curve, no menus to navigate. WHO IT'S FOR If you've ever played stacker games, color-matching reflex apps, or "tap when you see X" arcade challenges, Flick Arrow lives in that family. Sessions are 10 seconds to 10 minutes long. Pick it up between meetings, on transit, in line at the coffee shop. Drop it just as easily. Challenge a friend. The share button at game-over lets you send your score to anyone. We hope you score big.

Tiles light up. You tap them before they fade. That is the whole rulebook - and exactly why you will keep saying "one more run". BLINK GRID is a minimalist reflex game: calm pastel looks, soft haptics, and a sound that climbs the scale with your combo. A run lasts 30 to 60 seconds - longer if you are good. HOW IT WORKS - Tap glowing tiles before they fade - one missed tile ends the run - Tapped an empty tile? Forgiven. Costs your combo, never your life - Never touch the X tile - Gold pays five times the points, frost buys you a breather - Fast taps build your combo - up to triple points FRESH EVERY DAY - Daily Challenge: one run a day, identical for everyone worldwide - climb the leaderboard - Daily streak with growing rewards - Three daily missions MAKE THE GRID YOURS - 12 handcrafted themes, from Sakura to Midnight - Boosts for that one extra attempt: Shield, Slow Start, Combo Keeper - Game Center leaderboards - fully optional HONESTLY BUILT - Playable offline, no sign-up, no tracking - Everything in the game can be earned by playing - Made by a one-person studio in Germany How far can you get before the grid gets faster than you?
