Can you help every arrow escape the board? Arrow Path GO is a colorful logic puzzle. Every snake on the board ends in an arrow. Tap an arrow only when its path to the edge is clear. Hit an obstacle and you lose a life. Plan ahead, untangle the blockers and clear the entire board. Why you will keep playing Arrow Path GO: * 50 levels, from friendly starter puzzles to huge zoomable mazes * increasingly complex chains of arrows blocking one another * time limits from level 15 for an extra challenge * hints whenever you get stuck * scores, stars and a daily play streak * online leaderboards to compare your best result * light and dark themes, with separate music and sound controls * no account registration required The free app contains ads. Optional rewarded videos provide a hint, extra time or one life. For online leaderboards, the app uses an anonymous technical account ID and the player name you choose. See the privacy policy for details. Can you discover the right order and complete all 50 levels?
