Arrow Unwind
Read full descriptionHide full description
Arrow Unwind is a puzzle game about untangling arrow pieces and sending them off the board. The rules are simple: tap a piece, and it moves straight in the direction of its arrow. Watch the board carefully, find the right order, and remove every piece without crashing into others. In Normal Stages, you can take your time and solve puzzles that gradually become more challenging. Aim for 3-star clears by making fewer mistakes, saving hints, and finding cleaner solutions. After progressing through the Normal Stages, you can unlock Time Challenge modes. In Stage Rush, you compete to clear as many stages as possible within the time limit. In Time Attack, you race to complete a fixed set of stages as quickly as possible. Simple rules, satisfying clears, and plenty of room to improve. Unwind the tangled arrows and send every piece off the board!
Jigsaw Note
Read full descriptionHide full description
Jigsaw Note is a calm jigsaw puzzle game built for the way people actually puzzle: sort first, rotate pieces, then snap them onto the board. Take a few quiet minutes — or a long evening. Choose a picture and a piece count, from a light 15-piece start to a 1000+ piece challenge. HOW TO PLAY • Pick pieces from the tray at the bottom of the screen • Rotate with the left and right buttons until the picture faces the right way • Drag near a cell to snap it in • Long-press a seated piece to lift it back • Pinch to zoom and pan across the board TOOLS FOR BIGGER PUZZLES High piece counts only work if you can stay organized: • Sorting trays — group pieces by color or region • Filters for corners, edges, and center pieces • Multi-select to move several pieces at once • Optional guide image when you want a hint • Alignment assist (off by default; turns off when the guide is hidden) • A highlight if every piece is on the board but something still doesn’t line up FIVE DIFFICULTY TIERS Intro, Easy, Advanced, Hard, and Master. Start small, then work up to over a thousand interlocking pieces. Your progress is saved, so you can leave and come back. YOUR OWN PHOTOS Choose a photo from your device, crop it, and turn it into a puzzle in your local album. Build a personal collection from favorite moments while your original photos stay in your library. FREE TO TRY — ONE-TIME UNLOCK Puzzles marked Free can be played at every difficulty. A single in-app purchase unlocks the rest of the gallery and expands your local album. No subscription. No ads. No extra piece packs. Jigsaw Note is made by an independent developer. If you enjoy unhurried puzzles with real-table habits — sorting, rotating, and fitting pieces until the picture comes together — this is for you.
