VOLT

Read full description

Rotate. Connect. Light it up. Turn the circuit pieces so power flows from the source to every bulb on the board. No numbers, no clutter—just tap a piece to rotate it. The rules take seconds to learn, but the solving goes surprisingly deep. HOW TO PLAY Trace the wiring from the golden power source and get electricity to every bulb. Tap a piece to rotate it 90° clockwise; press and hold to turn it back. Live wires glow like neon, so you can always see how far the current reaches. Leave no loose ends—no wire pointing at nothing—light every bulb, and the circuit is complete. WHAT MAKES VOLT DIFFERENT - There's always exactly one answer. Every puzzle is verified by a dedicated solver and shipped only if it has a unique solution. You get there by logic, never by guessing. - Difficulty grows with the depth of the read, not just the size of the board. Hard and Expert puzzles are built so you can't finish on forced moves alone—real challenge for experienced players. - No numbers required. If sudoku isn't your thing, you'll feel right at home. It's pure, intuitive, and works in any language. FOUR DIFFICULTIES - Easy (5×5): a gentle start you can solve on forced moves. - Medium (7×7): a satisfying bit of thinking. - Hard (8×8): always demands a deeper read somewhere. - Expert (9×9): the real thing—hold the whole board in your head. A PUZZLE EVERY DAY A fresh "Daily Circuit" everyone in the world plays together. Keep your streak alive and make it a habit. MADE FOR YOU IF - You want to sharpen your mind on a commute or a coffee break - You're tired of number puzzles—or numbers just aren't your thing - You love Pipes, Netwalk, or loop-style puzzles - You want a calm wind-down ritual before bed - You're hunting for puzzles that are genuinely hard, not just big PRIVACY & PEACE OF MIND - No account needed.

About

Arrow Untangle

Features
Read full description

Pull the arrows out of the picture, one at a time. An arrow travels straight in the direction its head points. If even one other arrow sits anywhere along that path, it cannot leave — it bumps into the blocker and slides back. Which one do you take out first, so that every last arrow comes out? That is the puzzle. ONE HUNDRED STAGES, NO PICTURE TWICE A heart, a palm tree, a giraffe, a penguin, a snowman. Animals, food, tools, vehicles — and famous paintings. All one hundred stages are different pictures. 200 EXTRA STAGES Clear 50 stages of the main game to unlock them. Every EXTRA board is the size of stage 100, and you can play them in any order. Kitchenware and tools, creatures, world landmarks and famous paintings — two hundred more pictures, all different. THE PICTURES GET DENSER The first stage has twelve arrows. The last ones have close to eighty. The board grows, the drawing gets finer, and fewer arrows can be taken out at a glance. You start having to follow a path to the edge with your eyes before you commit. WHEN YOU GET STUCK - Hint — highlights one arrow that can come out right now, in green - Undo — step back as many moves as you like, so dead ends cost nothing - Grid — shows the squares, making paths easier to follow - Zoom — pinch with two fingers to get up to 14x closer LIGHT AND DARK Switch between a white board and a black board with white arrows. Easy on the eyes late at night. HOW TO PLAY 1. Tap an arrow. 2. If its path is clear, it slides straight off the screen. 3. If it is blocked, it bumps and comes back. The blocker flashes red. 4. Three mistakes uses up your lives. Returning to the stage list refills them. Playable with no connection (ads simply do not appear).
