Arrow Dash

Read full description

Every board is packed with arrows. Tap one and it flies — but only if its path is clear. Find the order, unlock the jam, empty the board. Arrow Dash is a puzzle you can think in. No timers on the campaign, no lives running down while you stare at a board. Just you and a knot of arrows that has exactly one way out. ▸ 250 HAND-TUNED LEVELS The first twenty teach you. After that the boards become pictures — a cactus, a guitar, a cat, a horse — every one built from arrows and every one solvable by construction. Later chapters add spinning turntables and fog that hides an arrow's heading until you open the board up around it. ▸ LIVE 1v1 MULTIPLAYER Race a real opponent on an identical board. Same arrows, same start, fastest to clear wins. •⁠ ⁠Elo rating from 1000, with tiers from Fletcher to Legend •⁠ ⁠Difficulty follows the stronger player, so nobody gets an easy board •⁠ ⁠Send emotes mid-match and shake hands after it •⁠ ⁠Global ratings board Unlocks after four cleared levels, so your first match is a fair one. ▸ WEEKLY CHALLENGE — PLAY FOR A CASH PRIZE One hard board a week. The same board for every player on Earth, from Monday to Monday. Post the fastest clear and you top the table.

Drip Drop is a puzzle game about watering flowers. Each level is a little patch of soil with a few flowers and a rain cloud. When a flower gets wet, it opens up and sprays water out of its leaves, straight across the soil to the next plant. Tap a flower to turn it. Get them all pointing the right way and the water runs through the whole garden on its own. It starts easy. New things show up as you go: flowers that won't turn, puddles, sunflowers that need water from two sides, mirrors, weeds you have to keep dry, rabbit holes, wind and more. There are 300 levels, and each one gives you a set number of moves. The fewer you use, the more stars you get. If you run out, you can start the level again for free, or keep going with 5 more moves for coins. Every 10th level has a prize, and you can see what it is ahead of time. Some levels have a rock in the way, and you'll need a Shovel to dig it out. Coins buy one, and if you're short, your garden grows one for free within a day. The flowers you bloom go to your garden, where you plant them and wait for them to grow. Come back later to pick them for coins. Plays offline, no account needed. You earn coins by playing. The shop sells coin packs, bundles of coins and boosters, and a Starter Pack and a Gardener's Pack, one of each per player. A rain barrel of coins also grows as you win new levels, and from 2,000 coins you can buy it. If you run out of moves without the coins to go on, you can also buy 5 more moves and a Watering Can for that level.
