Arrow Escape: Cube Maze is a minimalist 3D puzzle game where logic meets spatial thinking. A mysterious cube is covered with directional arrows. Your goal is simple: remove every arrow to clear the level. But the order matters. Tap an arrow and it slides forward in the direction it points. If the path is clear, it glides off the cube and disappears. If another arrow blocks the way, it snaps back to its original position. Rotate the cube, inspect every face, and plan the right sequence. Each level is a handcrafted 3D maze of arrows, and some puzzles are far trickier than they look. Features: • Unique arrow-sliding puzzle mechanic on a 3D cube • Clean, minimalist visuals with satisfying animations • Hundreds of brain-teasing levels from easy to expert • Relaxing gameplay — no timers, no pressure • Train your logic, planning, and spatial reasoning

Draw a shield. Keep the sticker dry. A cute sticker is out in the storm, and your finger is its only umbrella. Draw shields anywhere on the screen, as fast as your ink refills. The moment you lift your first line, the storm begins. A NEW THREAT EVERY WAVE Rain first. Then drops that steer toward your sticker, hail that chips your ink, bouncing rings, big blobs that burst into three, angry crates that roll in from the sides, and lightning that warns you with a dashed line before it strikes. Every fifth wave is a boss: falling anvils, then anvils and lightning together. BOOSTS AT YOUR FINGERTIP Five boosts wait at the side of the screen: Ink refill, Fix shields, Slow-mo, Big brush and Extra heart. Every run gives you one free use of each. Need another? Watch a short ad or spend coins. CHECKPOINTS THAT HOLD Reach wave 10, 25, 50, 100, then every 50 more, and that wave locks in as your checkpoint. Lose a run and your next one starts there. A checkpoint holds for 7 days, and clearing any wave renews it. Out of hearts mid-run? Keep going with one more heart for a short ad or some coins. KEEP GETTING STRONGER Clearing waves earns coins. Spend them on permanent upgrades, shield colors and stickers, and come back each day for a gift that grows with your streak. COLLECT 80 STICKERS, PLAY AS YOUR FAVORITE Boss waves drop stickers: Rainy Pals, Forest Friends, Sweet Treats, Ocean Cuties, Dragon Pals, Unicorn Dreams, Sports Buddies and Festive Friends, from common to legendary. Play as any sticker you own, or buy the one you want with coins. CLIMB THE LEADERBOARD Pick a nickname and see how your highest wave ranks. Invite a friend with a code, and you both get coins when they clear wave 10. VIP PASS (OPTIONAL) No ads between runs, all five boosts free every day, a free continue every day, double coins from runs and the daily gift, and once a month your checkpoint is kept even if the 7 days run out.
