Tap Arrow Exit is a minimalist, brain-teasing puzzle game that’s incredibly easy to pick up, but surprisingly tricky to master. How It Works Each level is a grid filled with colorful blocks. Your goal? Clear them all — with just one simple action: tap. Tap any block, and it will slide in the direction of its arrow until it either hits another block or reaches the edge. Every tap changes the board, and you must find the right sequence to wipe out every single block. Sounds simple? It is — until the arrows get tricky and the blocks start boxing each other in. Why You’ll Love It - One‑tap gameplay — play with just your thumb, anywhere, anytime. - No timers, no pressure — think at your own pace. Pure puzzle fun. - Hundreds of hand‑crafted levels — each with a unique solution waiting to be discovered. - Satisfying feedback — smooth animations and crisp sounds make every tap feel great. - Clean, modern design — easy on the eyes, focused on the challenge. Can you clear every board without running out of moves? Download Tap Arrow Exit now and find out.

The classic pen-and-paper game, now on your phone. Connect dots, close boxes, and capture more squares than your rival. HOW TO PLAY • On your turn, tap a side between two dots to mark it with your colour. • Complete a square and it is yours — and you play again! • When the board is full, whoever holds the most squares wins. • A tie is settled by sudden death: first box wins. THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Against the computer, at three difficulty levels. • With a friend on the same phone, taking turns. • Online, against another person in real time. FEATURES • Boards from 5×5 up to 9×9. • Choose your colour and who goes first. • The computer and same-phone modes work offline: play anywhere. • Sound effects and music, each with its own switch. • A paper or blackboard background, and a colour-blind friendly palette. • Available in ten languages. • No accounts, no sign-ups. You never need to give an email or a name. PURCHASES Free, with ads between games. "Remove ads" gets rid of them for good.
