Arrow Puzzle
Read full descriptionHide full description
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?
Calm Arrows
Read full descriptionHide full description
Calm Arrows is a quiet puzzle you can play with one finger. Tap an arrow and it slides off the board in the direction it points. If something is in the way, it stays. Work out the order and clear the board. • No ads. No tracking. No account. • No timers, lives, or energy. A wrong tap only costs a star. • 200 levels that grow step by step: bigger boards, stones that block the way, frozen arrows that thaw as others leave, and locked arrows that wait for their key. New boards keep coming after that. • Soft wooden sound effects and calm piano music, each with its own switch. • One daily puzzle, the same for everyone in the world. • Works offline. • Free. An optional tip in Settings supports the developer and unlocks nothing.

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