About the game

Tap an arrow. It slides off the board. Clear every arrow to win. A calm, satisfying arrow puzzle.

Then the arrows start lying. Don't Trust Arrows is a tap puzzle with a sense of humour: a brain teaser that plays tricks on you, level after level.

How the arrow puzzle works

Every arrow is a chunky snake with a head. Tap it and it escapes the way it points, if the lane is clear. If something is in the way, it bonks and you lose a heart. Find the one arrow that can get out, then the next, until the board is empty.

Then the tricks start

Meet Pointy, the cheeky arrow who comments on every move. Pointy will:

  • Flip an arrow right after you tap it
  • Spin or mirror the whole board mid-puzzle
  • Show a LEVEL COMPLETE banner that is not complete
  • Turn off the lights, hide the arrowheads, or give you a "helpful" hint that is a trap
  • Run away with the restart button
  • Hide the real way to win somewhere that is not an arrow at all

Every trick happens the same way every time. Remember it, try again instantly, and beat it. Every level is built to be solvable.
