About

OneWay

Read full description

OneWay is a clean, satisfying puzzle game where your goal is simple: connect the entrance to the exit using tile pieces. Place tiles on the grid to build a continuous path from IN to OUT. Every tile must be used — no extras, no shortcuts. As you progress through 100 hand-crafted stages across 5 zones, new mechanics are introduced one by one: • CLASSIC — Learn the basics. Place tiles to form a clean path. • FAKE — Extra tiles are added to mislead you. Only the right ones form the path. • BRIDGE — Paths can cross. Figure out which tile goes over which. • PORTAL — Teleport between two points on the grid. The path continues on the other side. • MULTI-LINE — Two separate paths. Both must be completed at the same time. After clearing all 100 stages, Infinite Mode unlocks — endless puzzles with randomized zones and grid sizes. Simple rules. Deep thinking. OneWay.

About

Arrow Loop

Read full description

Sharpen your logic in quiet focus. One loop. A handful of black cells. That's the whole rule— yet the deeper you look, the clearer your mind becomes. Guided by arrow-and-number clues, link every empty cell into a single closed loop, and shade exactly as many black cells as each arrow points to. That's Arrow Loop. No server, no account—everything stays on your device. WHAT YOU GET - A loop-and-shade logic puzzle: draw the path, shade the cells—two tactile modes - Always one solution: a solver verifies uniqueness as each board is built - Four difficulty tiers: from a gentle 6×6 to a fierce 12×12 - Today's puzzle: seeded by the date, the same board for everyone, worldwide - Two input modes: drag to draw the loop, tap to shade—simple and direct - Gentle assists: toggle mistake-highlighting, or take a quiet hint - Records & streaks: solves, average time, and daily streaks, shown calmly - Fully offline: play anywhere, no signal needed - English & Japanese, in a calm, paper-and-ink look MADE FOR YOU IF - You want to turn a few spare minutes into quiet, focused thinking - You love Slitherlink, Nurikabe, or nonograms - You're tired of ad-heavy, account-required puzzle apps - You care about the satisfying click of a single, certain answer - You want a small pre-sleep ritual with no notifications chasing you

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OneWay at none against Arrow Loop's 1. OneWay also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Arrow Loop's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.
