Arrow Puzzle Game
Arrow Fling is a quick, relaxing logic puzzle. Every tile is an arrow; swipe it and it flies off the board in the direction it points, unless another arrow is in the way. Clear the board in the right order to win.
The rules in ten seconds
- Swipe an arrow in the direction it points to send it off the board.
- If another arrow is in its path, it crashes, bounces back and you lose a heart.
- Clear every arrow to win the level.
That is all. The challenge is entirely in the order: each arrow you remove may open the path for another.
How to think about an arrow puzzle
An arrow puzzle is a dependency puzzle. Every arrow is waiting on the arrows in front of it. A good way to solve one is to work from the edges inward:
- Scan each edge of the board and find arrows that point outward with nothing in front of them. Those are always safe.
- Remove them, then look again. Removing one arrow often frees a whole line behind it.
- If nothing is free, look for an arrow whose path is blocked by only one other arrow, and work out how to clear that blocker first.
Ringed arrows
Ringed arrows add a twist: they turn 90° clockwise every time another arrow bumps into them. Sometimes the only way forward is to bump one on purpose so it points somewhere free. Count how many bumps it needs before you start swiping.
Tips for three stars
- Never swipe on a hunch. Trace the arrow's path with your eye to the edge of the board first.
- Clear long rows from the far end.
- Chain safe swipes quickly for combo streaks.
- Use a hint if you are truly stuck, or restart to try a different order.
Endless, solvable and daily
Levels are generated endlessly, and every board is checked by a solver, so there is always a way to clear it. A Daily Challenge brings a new board every day with a shareable result. Swipe on a phone or drag with a mouse on a computer.

A step-by-step approach
Start each board by scanning for arrows with a completely clear path to the edge. Those can always leave safely, and removing them often clears the way for others. Next, look for chains: an arrow that is blocked only by one other arrow will be free as soon as that one is gone, so remove the blocker first. Be careful with ringed arrows, which turn 90° clockwise when they are bumped, because one bump can change their direction for good. If you crash an arrow into another one and it stops in a bad place, use Restart and try a different order. Every board is generated and checked by a solver, so there is always a way through, and the challenge is only in finding the right order.
