Which way does the arrow point? Swipe before it's gone. Arrow Storm is a swipe game about fast reactions. An arrow appears and you swipe the way it points. Striped arrows are the catch: swipe them the opposite way. One wrong swipe ends the run. HOW TO PLAY • Swipe in the direction the arrow points • Swipe striped arrows the opposite way • Watch for diagonals: arrows point in 8 directions • Be quick: most modes give each arrow a time limit FIVE MODES • Normal: the arrows get faster and fade sooner the longer you last • Hard: fast from the first arrow, with striped and diagonal arrows from the start • Time Attack: swipe as many arrows as you can in 30 seconds • Race: swipe 30 arrows in the shortest time • Memory: each arrow shows for a moment, then disappears. Swipe it from memory COMPETE • A leaderboard for each of the five modes • 16 achievements to earn • Share your best score and challenge your friends to beat it PLAY OFFLINE No wifi needed. Arrow Storm plays offline, so it's ready for flights, road trips and waiting rooms. Easy to learn, hard to master, and made for one finger. How fast can you swipe?
