Arrow Escape
Arrow Escape is a logic puzzle game where your goal is to clear a board filled with arrows. Each arrow points in one direction, and you must tap it so it can slide off the board. The idea sounds easy, but the puzzles become harder as more arrows and obstacles appear. Some arrows are trapped behind others, so you need to think carefully before making a move. The main challenge is finding the correct order to remove the arrows without wasting your lives. Every successful move makes the board feel more organised, which creates a satisfying feeling as you solve each puzzle.
How to Play
The first level works as a short tutorial. It has only a few arrows and teaches you how the basic controls work. Tap an arrow, and it moves away from the board in the direction it faces. After learning the basics, later levels quickly become larger and more difficult.
You can see your progress, remaining hearts, coins, and settings at the top of the screen. A timer also appears during each level. You have limited time to clear the entire board, so you need to make smart decisions while working quickly.
Each arrow can point up, down, left, or right. Before tapping, look along its complete path. If nothing blocks the way, the arrow leaves the board successfully. If another arrow is in its path, the move fails, and you lose one heart.
An arrow that is blocked now may become free after you remove another arrow. This means planning ahead is one of the most important parts of the game.

Hearts and Timer
You normally start a level with three hearts. Every blocked move uses one heart. If all your hearts are gone, you may have options to continue by using coins or watching an advertisement.
The timer adds another challenge. You usually have up to 10 minutes to finish a level. If the timer reaches zero, you can choose an available option to gain extra time or restart the level.
Useful Boosters
Boosters can help when a puzzle becomes difficult.
- Hint: Shows a safe move and is available from the beginning.
- Eraser: Unlocks later and lets you remove one troublesome arrow.
- Grid: Becomes available as you progress and helps you understand the board more clearly.
Use boosters carefully because they are limited. The eraser is especially useful when one arrow is blocking several possible moves.
Coins and Rewards
Finishing levels gives you coins. These coins can be used for extra hearts and booster packs. You may also have opportunities to increase your rewards by watching an advertisement. Since boosters and hearts can cost many coins, save them for difficult situations instead of spending them too quickly.
Tips for Better Scores
Study the path first. Before tapping an arrow, follow its entire route with your eyes. An obstacle may be farther away than it first appears.
Remove important blockers. Look for arrows that are stopping several others. Clearing one key arrow can open multiple escape routes.
Save your boosters. Do not use an eraser or hint just because a puzzle looks difficult. Try to solve the board yourself first.
Think ahead. A safe move is not always the best move. Consider which arrows will become available after each successful escape.
