About

HexArrow Puzzle

Features
Read full description

A hexagon grid. Arrows pointing in different directions. Tap any arrow. It slides forward until it hits the edge โ€” or another arrow. Your mission: clear every arrow off the board. But order matters. Send one arrow out before another. If two arrows collide, you lose. Think ahead. Each move changes the map. Some arrows block others. Find the correct sequence. No timers. No luck. Just pure logic. Over 100 handcrafted levels. Start simple. Then master tricky layouts with multiple arrows and tight spaces. Can you solve the hex arrow puzzle?
