Arrows Flow

Read full description

Tap an arrow. If the path ahead is clear, it slides right off the board along its own winding line. If something's in the way, it bumps back — so the real puzzle is finding the right order to set every arrow free. Arrow Flows is a calm, colorful line-untangling puzzle. Simple to pick up, tricky to master, and satisfying every single time a tangled board clears in one clean sweep. CLEAR THE BOARD - Every arrow is a thin winding line pointing one of four ways. - Tap to send it out — but only when nothing blocks its path. - Clear all the arrows to win, and chase 3 stars for a flawless, under-par solve. 500 LEVELS ACROSS 10 WORLDS Journey through Paper Valley, Frostbite Peaks, Boomtown, Whirl Woods, and beyond. Each world adds a new twist: - Frozen arrows that need two taps to thaw. - Bombs that clear a neighbor on the way out. - Rotating arrows that turn with every move. - Linked pairs, portals, ghosts, and heavy stones. By the final world, everything's in play at once. MORE WAYS TO PLAY - Daily Challenge — one seeded puzzle a day, the same for everyone, fully offline. Build a streak and protect it with freeze tokens. - Zen — endless, relaxed play with no lives, no timer, and unlimited undo. Four board sizes from Breeze to Deep Zen. - Rush — a five-minute sprint to clear as many boards as you can. - Master Gauntlet — 100 expert boards and a permanent Grandmaster badge for finishing them all. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS - An Arrow Rating that climbs with clean, fast clears. - Stars, achievements, fastest-clear records, and a 12-week play heatmap. - Rise from Novice all the way to Grandmaster. FULLY OFFLINE No account, no sign-up, no internet required. Everything saves right on your device. Play on a plane, on the train, or anywhere at all. Gentle to learn, deep to master. Untangle your first board and see how far you flow.

Swap matching pieces, combine musical power-ups and bring ten islands back to life. MATCH, MIX, BOOM Match four in a line to create a sound wave, five or more for a resonance orb, or a T/L shape for a bass drum. Wind chimes appear in selected levels.

Plan at your own pace: precise rhythm timing is never required. 100 LEVELS, TEN ISLANDS Travel with Daming the mischievous donkey and Bobo the little speaker.
