About

Arrow Rush

Features
Read full description

Every arrow wants out. Only one order sets them all free. Arrow Rush is a puzzle of tangled arrows. Tap one and it slides out the way its head points — but only if the straight path to the edge is completely clear. Tap a blocked arrow and it bumps back, and you lose a heart. The whole game is finding the order. UNTANGLE THE KNOT Boards start gentle and get genuinely hard. Every level is generated to be solvable by construction, so there is always a way through — the challenge is finding it before your hearts run out. ARROWS THAT FIGHT BACK - Frozen arrows hide which way they point until a hammer shatters the ice - Two-way arrows flip head-to-tail instead of costing you a heart - Bombs count down on every single tap you make - Time bombs burn in real seconds, no matter what you do - Sealed arrows refuse to move for their first few turns - Locks need a key — and keys must be freed first SUPER LEVELS Every tenth level is a giant picture — a heart, a star, a rocket — crammed with arrows, with one extra heart to help. Clear it and the whole picture lights up. DAILY CHALLENGE A new board every day, identical for every player in the world. Difficulty climbs from a gentle Monday to a brutal Sunday. You get three attempts and one fewer heart than usual. Clear it every day to build your streak. INFINITY MODE An endless run of random boards with one shared pool of hearts. How far can you get? 25 ACHIEVEMENTS Earn medals in Game Center for clearing levels, collecting stars, beating SUPER boards, keeping your daily streak and more. Everything you have already done counts. PLAY YOUR WAY Swap the arrows for snakes, trains or anchors, each with its own sounds and music. Pinch to zoom and flick to scroll around the biggest boards. SCORE AND COMPETE Points for arrows cleared, taps saved against par, hearts and seconds left, and a bonus for finishing without a hint — all multiplied by difficulty. Compare yourself on the Game Center leaderboards. PLAYS ANYWHERE No internet needed. No account required. Every level is drawn with vector graphics, so it stays razor sharp on any screen. Think you can see the order? Prove it.
