Arrow Puzzle 3D is a 3D block puzzle with colorful shapes, arrows, and a twist: every piece can be different. Tap away the blocks, rotate the cube, and find the right order to clear the board. HOW TO PLAY • Tap a block: if the path to the edge is clear, it flies away in the direction of its arrow • Blocked? The block shakes — rotate the 3D cube and look for a better move • Each shape has its own color, so even partially hidden pieces are easier to recognize • Study the arrows, colors, and surrounding blocks before you move • Clear every block by finding the right order, then move on to the next puzzle WHY THIS PUZZLE IS DIFFERENT • Different block shapes: start with simple cubes, then unlock dominoes, L-shapes, T-shapes, S-shapes, a five-block cross, and more • Color-coded pieces: color helps you recognize a block even when part of its shape is hidden • More to discover: new shapes unlock as you progress, changing how you read and solve each level • True 3D gameplay: rotate the cube, inspect every side, and plan your next move • Always-solvable levels: every puzzle is generated backwards from a guaranteed solution, so every level can be completed • Simple controls, deeper strategy: tap away one block at a time and work out the best order • Short, satisfying levels: a quick brain teaser when you have a few minutes to play THINK IN 3D Every arrow puzzle is about more than tapping. Read the direction of each block, recognize shapes that may be hidden behind others, rotate the cube, and work out which piece should move first. Some blocks look blocked from one angle but have a clear path from another. Sometimes removing one piece opens the way for several others. The more shapes you unlock, the more carefully you need to plan. If you enjoy block puzzle games, arrow puzzles, logic puzzles, unblock challenges, and satisfying tap-to-clear gameplay, Arrow Puzzle 3D gives the classic formula a new twist. Tap away the blocks, rotate the cube, unlock new shapes, and clear every arrow puzzle one move at a time.

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.
