Tap an arrow and it slides off the board. Tap one that's blocked and it bumps, and you lose a heart. Clear every arrow to win. Easy to learn, and it gets tricky. Every board is a little knot of arrows. Look before you tap: which one has to leave first? 1,000 LEVELS • Normal, Hard and Super Hard levels, with timed boards along the way. • Picture boards shaped like hearts, stars, cats and rockets. • Big boards you pinch to zoom. NEW ARROWS AS YOU PLAY • Firework Arrow — it pops every arrow it touches. • Domino Run — hit the star domino to knock the whole row down. • Two-Way Arrow — it has two heads. You pick the end it leaves by. • Wind-Up Arrow — its number drops as you play. Clear it before it hits 0. • And more: Locked Arrows, Frozen Arrows, Toy Crates, Chained Arrows, Drill Arrows, Wide Loads, Hourglass Arrows and Beat the Clock levels. Every new idea comes with its own lesson level. BUILD TEN ISLANDS Win levels to earn stars, then spend them to build your islands piece by piece: Sky Isles, Candy Cove, Blocktown, Frosty Peaks, Jungle Jam, Starlight Fair, Rocket Reef, Dino Dunes, Clockwork City and Dragon Peak. Each island gives the boards its own look. SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY • Daily Puzzle — a new board every day. • Daily Reward — come back each day. Day seven is the big one. • Isle Dash — race two rivals run by the game to the finish. • A chest to open every ten levels. FOUR BOOSTERS FOR TIGHT SPOTS • Hint shows an arrow that can leave right now. • Pop smashes any arrow, even a blocked one. • Rush sends off every arrow that can leave, all at once. • Shield: your next bump won't cost a heart. GOOD TO KNOW • You have five lives. A lost level costs one, and they refill over time. • No account or login needed. • ArrowFlow offers optional in-app purchases: coin packs, booster bundles and a Starter Pack.
