Arrows: Escape - Tap Puzzle

The pitch

Arrows: Escape is a relaxing logic puzzle with a satisfying twist. Every board is a picture - a heart, a star, a cat, a house - made of colorful snake-like arrows. Tap an arrow and it slides out along its path, but only if nothing stands in its way! Plan the right order, clear the whole picture and keep all three hearts for a perfect score. Endless solvable levels, hard and super hard boards, a daily challenge, 7 beautiful themes, hints and a laser booster.

Controls & how it runs

Tap (or click) an arrow to send it flying in the direction it points. It escapes only if the path to the edge of the board is clear. If it hits another arrow, you lose a heart - you have three. Clear every arrow to complete the level and earn coins. Stuck? Use a Hint to see a free arrow or the Laser to remove any arrow. Controls: tap / left mouse click.

Getting a run going takes exactly one press: Press start, up top, and the game boots inside this page — nothing downloads in the background and no form wants your details before the first jump. The cabinet is drawn for a flexible screen and listens to mouse, keyboard or touch, whichever the game prefers. It reshapes itself for tall and wide screens alike, so phone, tablet and desktop all get the full picture. Given a fullscreen button, use it — scores look better at full size, that's just science.
