A little about the gameMeet Arrow Escape
Slide every winding arrow off the board once its lane is clear. Boards come shaped like hearts, circles and stars. Plan the order, keep your three hearts and clear a bigger, trickier board each level.
How to play Arrow Escape
Each arrow is a winding line with a head at one end. Tap or click an arrow to send it off the board in the direction its head points. It only leaves when nothing stands in that straight lane to the edge; a blocked arrow stays put and costs one of your three hearts, and the arrow in the way flashes. Clear every arrow to finish the level; lose all three hearts and the same board is waiting for a retry. Hint (3 per level) highlights an arrow that is clear, Undo (3) brings back the last arrow, Eraser (1) removes any arrow even if it is blocked, and Guide draws every exit lane. Fewer mistakes and less help earn up to three stars. Keyboard: arrow keys or WASD move between arrows, Enter or Space sends one off, H hints, U undoes, E toggles the eraser and G toggles the guide.
A tip for your next run
Look for an arrow pointing at open space first, then follow the chain backwards: the arrow that was blocking it is usually next.
How do you play Arrow Escape?
Every arrow is a winding line that can only leave the board straight ahead of its head. Tap an arrow whose lane to the edge is clear and it slides off along its own path; clear the whole board to finish the level. Some arrows block others, so the puzzle is working out which one has to go first. Boards are shaped like hearts, circles, stars and more, and the campaign runs from medium to hard.
Why will an arrow not move in Arrow Escape?
Another arrow is standing somewhere in its lane, between its head and the edge of the board. The blocked arrow shakes and the arrow in the way flashes. Remove that one first, and the exit opens again.
What happens when you run out of hearts?
Each blocked tap costs one of your three hearts. With none left the level ends, and the same board is waiting when you try again, so you can use what you learned. Clearing arrows in any legal order never traps you.
How do hints, undo and the eraser work in Arrow Escape?
Hint highlights an arrow that can leave right now, preferring one that frees others, three times per level. Undo brings back the last arrow three times. The eraser removes any one arrow, even a blocked one, once per level. Hints and the eraser lower your star rating; undo does not.
Does every Arrow Escape level have a solution?
Yes. Each board is built from a real clearing order and checked by a solver before you see it, so no level can leave you stuck. Taking a clear arrow away never blocks another one.
How are stars awarded in Arrow Escape?
A clean clear with no blocked taps, hints or erasers earns three stars. One or two of those cost you a star, and more than that leaves one star. Bigger boards and more stars both score more points.
