Find the open path. Free the worm. Strike back at the monsters! Arrow Puzzle: Worms Escape combines directional path puzzles with lively monster battles. Read each worm's arrow, find an open path and tap in the right order to untangle the colorful maze. Escaping worms attack the monsters around the board. LOOK BEFORE YOU TAP A blocked move costs a heart. There is no level countdown, but monsters keep moving. Careful planning and well-timed escapes both matter. 500 MAIN LEVELS Explore changing board sizes and ten-level difficulty cycles, with denser paths as each cycle progresses. Later hard levels hide open exits among tangled, lookalike routes. All main levels are playable without Pro. A FRESH DAILY CHALLENGE Discover 200 daily layouts, picture-shaped boards and 20 illustrated backgrounds. Lively counterattacks and victory fireworks make each cleared board feel rewarding. HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT New players receive 3 welcome hints once, with no daily free refills or free revives. Exchange star coins for hints, or choose to complete a rewarded video for one use of the selected item when available. Revives require Pro or a rewarded video. PRO AND STAR COINS Your first Pro purchase makes 3 hints and 3 revives available that day. Both reset to 3 daily; unused daily uses do not stack. Repeat purchases and restores do not grant extra items. Extra hints from coins or videos are stored separately. A star-coin pack contains 100 coins; one hint costs 20 coins. Coin packs are sold separately from Pro. Purchases and rewarded videos require an internet connection, and videos may not always be available. Which worm will you free first?

Read full description

Neon Spire is a one-tap tower builder with a single rule: tap at the right moment. A glowing block slides across the screen. Tap to drop it. Land it dead-center and the block stays full size. Miss, and the overhang is sliced off and falls away, leaving you less room for the next one. Five perfect drops in a row triggers FEVER, slowing everything down and giving you a window to build a run. HOW TO PLAY - Tap anywhere to drop the block - Perfect landings keep your tower wide - Every miss makes the next drop harder - One run takes about 30 seconds FEATURES - One-tap controls, no tutorial needed - Plays entirely offline - No forced ads between every round - One-time purchase to remove ads permanently - Free to play Built by 10percent studio.
