Swipe Blast

Every level is a picture made of arrows. Clear them all to solve it. Swipe Blast is a bright, relaxing arrow puzzle with a twist you can actually see. The arrows are not scattered on a grey grid — they are arranged into shapes. A heart. A tree. A crown. Tap an arrow and it blasts off the board in the direction it points. Tap the wrong one and nothing happens: it is jammed, blocked by the arrows around it. Sounds simple. It stops being simple somewhere around level twenty. HOW TO PLAY - Tap any arrow to send it flying off the board - An arrow only leaves if its path is clear - Free the blockers first, then work your way inward - Remove every arrow to complete the level WHY YOU WILL KEEP PLAYING - Levels shaped like pictures, not random grids. You always see what you are solving - One tap is the whole control scheme. Nothing to learn, nothing to configure - Logic, not luck. Every level has a real solution, and you can find it - Hundreds of levels that grow from a gentle warm-up into genuine head-scratchers WHEN YOU GET STUCK - The magnifier points you to a move that works - Three lives per level, so there is room to experiment - Take as long as you need. Nothing is counting down BUILT FOR REAL LIFE - No timers and no pressure. Think for two seconds or two minutes - Works offline, so it plays on the train, on a flight, or with no signal at all - Calm neon visuals and soft, satisfying effects. Easy on the eyes at night Two minutes in a queue or an hour on the sofa, Swipe Blast fits either. Start with a simple heart, work your way up, and see how many pictures you can clear. Download Swipe Blast and start blasting arrows.

About

Bubble Words

Features
Read full description

Every bubble on the board holds a word. Berry, Waltz, Saturn, Screwdriver. Drag one bubble onto another: if the words share a theme, they merge. Four words and the theme is complete — its name lights up on the bubble and it floats away. Simple, until five themes share one board. Is Guitar music or timber? Is Mars a planet or a god of war? A wrong guess costs no life, only a move — and five right merges in a row give a move back. WHAT'S INSIDE • 6,000+ themes and 13,000 words — from food and sports to myths, movies and science • 150 levels, then endless play • A board that fights back: bubbles freeze over, words arrive sliced in two, and a finished theme can become a single word inside a bigger one • Three boosters: Extra Bubble drops new words, Hint highlights a matching pair, Magnet completes a theme outright • Daily rewards, a lucky wheel and 65 achievements • Mastery ranks: every win brings the next one closer • English and Russian, each with its own hand-built word base — not a translation • No move timer — think as long as you like HOW TO PLAY Drag a bubble onto a bubble. Words from the same theme merge; mismatched ones don't, and the attempt still costs a move. Four words of one theme make a finished bubble: the theme's name appears on it and it flies up into the progress bar. A level is done when every theme is collected. Your moves are shown in the circle at the top. Run out, and you can add more and continue from the same board. A frozen bubble carries a number that drops with every theme you collect; at zero it thaws and reveals its word. Great for vocabulary, focus and spotting links where you least expect them. Five minutes in a queue or a whole evening — you can always pick up a level right where you left off.
