Arrow Puzzle: Pair Match is a puzzle about matching arrow pairs in the right order. Find two arrows of the same color on one row or column: one horizontal, one vertical. Tap the arrow pointing along that line to clear the pair and the arrows between them. Every move changes the matches left on the board. Remove a pair too soon and you may lose your next move. Look ahead, try another order and work toward a clear board. Smart has 200 puzzles to clear completely. Undo your last shot for free if you want to try another way. Some levels let you rotate an arrow. Recolor is there if you want it, but every Smart puzzle has a solution without it. Classic starts with 200 levels, then makes new boards as you go. Beat Classic level 10 to open Expert's snowflake-shaped boards. In every mode, you can play the board in 3D. Tap the 2D/3D button to switch views, tap the angle button to change the tilt, and pinch to zoom. Expert opens in 3D, Classic and Smart start flat, and each mode remembers your choice. Solved a good one? Send it to a friend. They can play that same board in their browser without installing the app. There's no timer, and you can leave an unfinished game and come back to it. The included levels work offline; level updates download when you're online. You can turn music and sound effects on or off separately. The first 12 attempts cost no energy. After that, a new attempt or restart costs 1 energy, which refills over time. In Smart, from your third attempt at the same level, you can skip after a loss by spending 3 coins. The game was previously called Crosswise Arrows.
