Three ways to play
Levels and Score Rush each give you three lives: a blocked arrow costs one. Zen removes the life limit for relaxed practice. Harder boards use winding, interlocked forms instead of repetitive arrow rows.

Arrow Puzzle is a minimalist logic game: each winding arrow is a path, and tapping it lets the arrow straighten and glide off in the direction its head points — but only if no other arrow stands in its way. This page answers searches for arrow puzzle online, arrow escape game and tap arrow game with a free, no-download browser version.
Tap any arrow whose path to the edge is clear and it flies away. Tap a blocked arrow and it bumps into its neighbor and stays. Remove every arrow to clear the level; your tap count is the score to beat, and clearing with zero wasted taps earns a PERFECT.
Boards are built arrow by arrow so that a full clearing order always exists — the generator literally constructs the solution while it builds the board. If you are stuck, the problem is the order, not the puzzle: some arrow on the board is always free to go.
Scan the edges first — arrows pointing directly off the board are always safe. Then look for chains: removing one blocker often frees two or three arrows at once. On dense boards, follow one row or column at a time instead of tapping at random.
Levels start on a friendly 9×9 layout and grow to a packed 17×17. Higher levels squeeze in more winding arrows, so clear paths get rare and the removal order matters more. Levels advance in order, and your current level is saved automatically after each clear.
