How to play

Arroway is an arrow puzzle. Every arrow is a bent line on a dotted grid and a tap sends it sliding like a snake in the direction its head points — the body follows all the way off the board. If another arrow is in the way, it crashes, slides back and costs you a heart. Levels are pictures (a heart, a star, a cat…), plus a daily puzzle, a ranked ELO duel and a roguelike Story.

  1. 1

    Before you tap, follow the ray in front of the head all the way to the edge. If it is clear, the arrow leaves. Release arrows that point outwards first and they open the way for the rest.

  2. 2

    In Levels you have three hearts and hints — a hint lights up an arrow that can leave right now. Zoom with the mouse wheel or two fingers and drag a zoomed board to pan.

  3. 3

    In the ranked duel you race an AI rival with a similar rating on the same board: clear it first to win and your ELO goes up. In the Story you cross the map of four acts, collect relics and beat bosses — hearts do not come back between nodes.

Controls

Tap (or click) an arrow — it slides out in the direction it points and its body follows like a snake. If another arrow is in the way, it crashes and costs you a heart. A hint lights up an arrow that can leave right now. Zoom the board with the mouse wheel or two fingers and drag to pan. Esc pauses, H shows a hint.

Tips

  • An arrow pointing into another arrow can never leave before it. Look for chains and release whatever frees the most others first.
  • Mind the Story rules: stones never go away, a locked arrow waits for the key of the same colour, a fuse explodes if you do not clear its arrow in time and the vortex spins the board.
