Arrow Doodle — clear the arrows. See the picture.
An arrow maze that is also a drawing — 1,000 of them, no shape twice.
One rule: a clear exit. Tap an arrow whose path off the board is clear — it slides away. An arrow slides off only if nothing sits in its path. Blocked arrows flash red and cost a life. Clear every arrow to finish the level.
Every board is solvable. The challenge is the order.

How it works
Every level opens as a tangle. Dozens of arrows, each one a little snaking body ending in a head that points somewhere, all woven together so tightly that at first glance nothing looks like it could move.
Then you follow one arrow's line — straight out from its head, all the way to the edge of the board — and see that it is clear. Tap it, and the whole thing slides off and takes its body with it. Which frees the lane for the next one.
That is the entire game. There is no second mechanic, no power-up you have to learn, and nothing hidden from you: every arrow that can move is visible from the moment the level opens. What makes a board hard is that forty-nine arrows have exactly one order they come apart in, and finding it means thinking backwards from the one you want to move.
And then there is the picture
Every maze is also a drawing. Clear the arrows and the picture is what you were looking at the whole time — a circle, a heart, an apple, a house, a flower. One thousand of them, and no shape is used twice.
The boards are not generated into a rectangle and filled. Each one is a silhouette first — a fox, a swan, a sailboat, an owl — and the arrows are woven inside it afterwards. As the board empties, the drawing is what is left. It is the part players tell us about.
One thousand levels
1,000 of them, across 50 chapters of 20. Every one is a different picture and no shape is used twice, which is a constraint that gets harder every chapter and is the reason there is one game on this site instead of six.
The early boards are 25 squares across with a couple of dozen arrows. The late ones are considerably more than that. Difficulty is marked Normal or Hard on each, and the Hard ones are genuinely hard.
What is in it
1,000 hand-drawn levels
Fifty chapters of twenty. Every level is a different picture, and no shape is ever used twice.
One rule, a thousand puzzles
The rule takes four seconds to learn. Working out the order on a 39×39 board takes rather longer.
Three lives, no punishment
A blocked arrow turns red and stays red, so you always know what you have already tried. Tapping it again is free.
Hints when you want them
A hint points at an arrow that can leave right now. It costs a star, not your progress.
Day and Night
Warm paper by day, soft dark at night. It follows your system setting or you can pin it.
A daily challenge
One timed board a day, separate from the campaign, with a streak worth keeping.
Fourteen languages
English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese.
Your progress, kept
Progress saves on your device. Signing in with Google is optional and only backs it up so it survives a new phone.
Three things it will not do
No ads between levels
Nothing interrupts a level, and nothing sits between one level and the next. The only advertisement in the game is a rewarded video, and you are the one who decides to watch it — when you want a hint or an extra life, and never otherwise.
Untimed
Campaign levels have no clock. A hundred-arrow board is meant to be looked at, and rushing it is the opposite of the point. There is a gold time, but it only decides your third star — it can never fail you. The daily challenge is the one timed mode, and it is optional.
Works offline
Every level ships inside the app, so the whole campaign plays on a plane, on the underground, or with the connection off. No account, no sign-in and no connection is needed to play any of them.
Screenshots
Try it without installing anything
The first five levels — a circle, a heart, an apple, a house and a flower — play in your browser, generated from the app's own level files so they are the same boards in the same order. Running out of lives there costs you nothing at all: you get three back and the board exactly as you left it.

Is Arrow Doodle free?
Yes — free to download and free to play. There is no paid unlock and no subscription. It includes optional rewarded video ads you can choose to watch for a hint or an extra life, and optional coin packs.

No. Nothing interrupts you during a level or between one level and the next. The only advertisement is a rewarded video, and you decide when — or whether — to watch one.

Yes. All 1,000 levels are included in the download, so the entire campaign plays with no connection at all.
