Find the opening. Follow the arrows. Clear the tangle before time runs out. ArrowSprout turns winding paths and overlapping arrows into a playful logic challenge. Tap an arrow to send it sliding away, but check its route first: another arrow may block the exit or lie across it. Work out what to remove next and watch the board open up, one move at a time. 100 PUZZLES TO UNTANGLE Start with a few arrows and work your way toward intricate boards with up to 150. Each level has its own countdown, so every clear path brings you closer to the finish. LOOK ABOVE. THINK AHEAD. Crossing arrows add another layer to the puzzle. Clear the arrows on top and open the exits below. A blocked arrow slides back into place, giving you a chance to rethink your next move. PLAYFUL SHAPES, CLEVER PATHS Discover hearts, stars, butterflies, flowers, rockets, and more. Picture-shaped puzzles appear throughout your journey, with a special shape every five levels. GET A CLOSER LOOK Pinch to zoom, drag to explore, and reset the view to see the whole board. Need a clue? Use a hint to highlight an arrow that can move. MAKE IT YOUR OWN Enjoy cheerful colors, playful animations, music, and sound effects. Switch sound off or choose gentler motion in Settings. Your progress saves automatically on your device. FEATURES - 100 levels with individual time limits - Layered arrow puzzles with clear-path logic - Picture-shaped boards and increasingly intricate layouts - Simple tap controls, pinch-to-zoom, and drag-to-pan - Hints and coins earned through level completion - Automatic local progress saving - Sound and motion settings - Seven in-game languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese The game includes advertising.
