Tap arrows with a clear path and watch them slide off the board. Clear every arrow, beat the level. Simple to learn โ€” surprisingly tricky to master. Arrow Puzzle is a relaxing logic game about untangling. Each board is packed with colorful snake-like arrows, woven together. Tap an arrow and it slides forward along its own body โ€” but only if nothing stands in its way. Tap a blocked arrow and it bumps back, costing you a heart. Find the right order, and the whole board unravels. HOW TO PLAY โ€ข Tap an arrow whose path ahead is clear โ€” it slides off the board โ€ข Blocked arrows bounce back and cost a heart (you have 3 per level) โ€ข Empty the board to win the level WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT โ€ข 120 levels, from bite-size 4ร—4 warm-ups to massive boards with 300+ arrows โ€ข Difficulty that grows with you โ€” no tutorials needed, the puzzles teach themselves โ€ข A calm, dark look with soft colors โ€” easy on the eyes, day or night โ€ข Satisfying slide-and-vanish animations with gentle haptics โ€ข Quick one-hand play, perfect for a commute or a coffee break โ€ข No timers, no pressure โ€” think as long as you like Every level is solvable โ€” no dead ends, no luck, just logic.
