Calm Arrows is a quiet puzzle you can play with one finger. Tap an arrow and it slides off the board in the direction it points. If something is in the way, it stays. Work out the order and clear the board. • No ads. No tracking. No account. • No timers, lives, or energy. A wrong tap only costs a star. • 200 levels that grow step by step: bigger boards, stones that block the way, frozen arrows that thaw as others leave, and locked arrows that wait for their key. New boards keep coming after that. • Soft wooden sound effects and calm piano music, each with its own switch. • One daily puzzle, the same for everyone in the world. • Works offline. • Free. An optional tip in Settings supports the developer and unlocks nothing.
