How to Play Arrow Puzzle in 2 Minutes

In an arrow puzzle you tap arrows to slide them off the board. Each arrow moves in the direction its head points. It can leave only if nothing blocks the straight line ahead of its head. Tap free arrows in the right order until every arrow is gone. That clears the level.

Transcript

1. Welcome to Arrowtide. The board is a maze of thin arrows. Each arrow has a head, and the head shows the way it will move.
2. An arrow can leave only if the straight line ahead of its head is empty. Tap a free arrow and it slithers off the board.
3. If another arrow is in the way, your arrow is blocked. Clear the arrow in front first, then the blocked one can go.
4. Tap a blocked arrow and you lose a pearl. You have three pearls on each level. Lose them all and you can restart the board for free.
5. Not sure about an arrow? Use Peek and choose it. The game shows its way out, and which arrow stands in the way.
6. Hint points to a safe arrow to tap next, and you get three free hints a day. Undo takes your last move back.
7. Dense boards are big. Pinch with two fingers to zoom in, so you can read every arrow before you tap.
8. Keep removing free arrows until the board is empty. On rescue boards, the last arrow also frees a sea friend caught in a net.
9. Later levels bring picture boards, a Daily Puzzle, and Tide levels, where the sea rises and sweeps away low arrows. Free those first.
10. That is the arrow puzzle. Arrowtide is free, works offline, and has a thousand levels. Get it on Google Play. iOS is coming soon.
