Tap an arrow and it slides until it exits the board or hits something. Clear every arrow to win. Simple to learn — and then the board starts fighting back. FIVE MECHANICS, ONE RULE • Arrows that block each other — order matters • Rotators that turn when they're stuck • One-way tiles that only let you through the right way • Colored gates that only matching arrows can pass • Locks and keys — sweep the key before the locked arrows can move SMART, NOT CRUEL • Every level is verified solvable by a solver — no impossible boards • Par on every level: match it for 3 stars • Get stuck? The game detects dead ends and offers a way back • Hints show you the provably best next move ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW • 200 levels from gentle to genuinely mean • A new Daily Challenge every day — keep your streak alive • Global leaderboard: earn stars, climb the rankings • Hard mode: strict move limits for players who want pain • Works fully offline Made for short sessions: 30–90 seconds per level, no timers, no lives, no pressure. Just the satisfying click of a board coming apart in the right order.
