Arrow Loop

Read full description

Sharpen your logic in quiet focus. One loop. A handful of black cells. That's the whole rule— yet the deeper you look, the clearer your mind becomes. Guided by arrow-and-number clues, link every empty cell into a single closed loop, and shade exactly as many black cells as each arrow points to. That's Arrow Loop. No server, no account—everything stays on your device. WHAT YOU GET - A loop-and-shade logic puzzle: draw the path, shade the cells—two tactile modes - Always one solution: a solver verifies uniqueness as each board is built - Four difficulty tiers: from a gentle 6×6 to a fierce 12×12 - Today's puzzle: seeded by the date, the same board for everyone, worldwide - Two input modes: drag to draw the loop, tap to shade—simple and direct - Gentle assists: toggle mistake-highlighting, or take a quiet hint - Records & streaks: solves, average time, and daily streaks, shown calmly - Fully offline: play anywhere, no signal needed - English & Japanese, in a calm, paper-and-ink look MADE FOR YOU IF - You want to turn a few spare minutes into quiet, focused thinking - You love Slitherlink, Nurikabe, or nonograms - You're tired of ad-heavy, account-required puzzle apps - You care about the satisfying click of a single, certain answer - You want a small pre-sleep ritual with no notifications chasing you
