Games › Arrow Sweep

Arrow Sweep

An arrow puzzle where the order of your taps is the puzzle. Tap an arrow and it slides head-first off the board; any arrow in its way is pushed one cell at a time and leaves with it, and so does everything in front of that. The same board can take 3 taps or 9 depending on what you tap first, and clearing it in par taps or fewer earns three stars. No timer, no lives, no dead ends, and undo is unlimited and free. One thumb is enough and a board takes 15 seconds to 2 minutes.

How to play

Tap an arrow and it slides toward its head. Arrows in the way are shoved along and leave the board with it, and the arrows in front of those follow. A tapped arrow always leaves, so a tap is never refused and a board can never get stuck. Clear the board and you are done. Undo and restart are unlimited and free.

Fewer taps are stars

One star for clearing, two for getting close to par, three for par or fewer. Par is the fewest taps a computer found by solving the board, so it is honest. If you are stuck, the hint shows exactly which arrow to tap next, and your first hint on a board never costs a star.

5 worlds, 150 boards

Learn with single-cell arrows in First Steps, then Long Arrows (2 to 3 cells push a wide lane), Frost (frozen arrows cannot be tapped and thaw at the end), Tether (two arrows move together) and a Mixed world with everything: 150 boards in five worlds. The boards are generated by computer and each one is checked by a solver.

Daily board

The Daily board is set by the date, so everyone gets the same one (730 days are included). Build a streak and share your result as one line of emoji that never reveals the board. There is no server and no sign-up.

Collection

Stars unlock 18 looks in order: 8 arrow styles, 6 board themes and 4 sweep trails. There are no random draws or loot boxes, and nothing to pay for.
