Link & Draw is a calm, clever puzzle game built around sliding arrows off the board. Each level places colorful arrows on a grid; tap one only when its tip can move straight out without hitting others. Remove them in the right order and the whole board clears. Easy to learn, hard to master: early levels teach the rules, later ones demand sharper planning and patience. Use Hint when you are stuck, Retry to reset the current puzzle, and unlock new stages as you progress. Progress is saved on your device, so you can pick up anytime. No account required. Portrait play, offline-friendly core gameplay, and a short tutorial on first launch. Perfect for a quick brain break or a longer puzzle session.
