A night storm tore through the grove and scattered every firefly mosaic the old oaks had spent a century arranging. ArcDash is the quiet work of putting them back.
Each glade is a board of carved bark tiles with exactly one open notch. Tap a tile touching the notch and it slides in. That is the whole control scheme — everything after that is deciding which tile, and in what order.
SIXTY HAND-TUNED GLADES
Boards widen as you go: three tiles across in Bark Hollow, four in the Fern Deep, five under the Rune Canopy. Early glades carry carved rune numerals; later ones are sliced from painted forest mosaics, so you are rebuilding a picture rather than a sequence. Every board is generated from a solvable shuffle, so no glade is ever impossible — only stubborn.
STARS, NOT TIMERS BREATHING DOWN YOUR NECK
Slides used and time taken decide a one-to-three star rating, measured against a generous par. There is no failure state, no lives to lose and no way to be locked out of a board. Take the slow route if you like it.
HELP WHENEVER YOU WANT IT
- Firefly Guide lights the next tile that belongs in the notch.
- Dew Rewind takes back your last slide, move count and all.
- Mosaic Peek shows the finished picture for a few seconds.
- Vine Cascade plays out the next three correct slides for you.
A GROVE THAT GROWS WITH YOU
Cleared glades pay out Motes. Spend them in the Workshop on four permanent upgrade tracks — free hint charges, free rewinds, a richer payout, a longer peek — so the grove keeps getting kinder the further in you go. A nightly gift and a visit streak keep the coffer topped up.
MOSAIC GALLERY
Every mosaic you restore is added to a gallery you can revisit in full, alongside twelve awards that track glades cleared, stars gathered, flawless solves and endless-drift chains.
ENDLESS DRIFT
When you want to play without a target, Endless Drift deals board after board and tracks how long a chain you can hold.
