Find the opening. Follow the arrows. Clear the tangle before time runs out. ArrowSprout turns winding paths and overlapping arrows into a playful logic challenge. Tap an arrow to send it sliding away, but check its route first: another arrow may block the exit or lie across it. Work out what to remove next and watch the board open up, one move at a time. 100 PUZZLES TO UNTANGLE Start with a few arrows and work your way toward intricate boards with up to 150. Each level has its own countdown, so every clear path brings you closer to the finish. LOOK ABOVE. THINK AHEAD. Crossing arrows add another layer to the puzzle.
