About this game

N Arrow Escape is a clean, unhurried arrow puzzle. Every level is a board
packed tight with arrows of different lengths, some of them bent into an L.
Tap one and it flies off the board in the direction it points - but only if
nothing is standing in its way. Clear every arrow to finish the level.

The name is a pun, and so is the puzzle: it's a narrow escape, and it's an
N arrow escape.

SIMPLE RULE, PACKED BOARDS
An arrow leaves along the direction its head points, sweeping every cell from
its head to the edge of the board. If that path is clear, it goes. If another
arrow is in the way, it stays put and shows you exactly what stopped it. Bent
arrows leave sideways to most of their own body, which is the part that takes
a moment to see.

WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT
- Easy to learn. One rule, no tutorial needed, no reading.
- No fail state and no countdown. Nothing runs out, nothing punishes you for
thinking. The stopwatch is a score, not a threat - and it doesn't even start
until your first move, so take as long as you like reading the board.
- Completely offline. No account, no sign-up, no network needed to play.
- No ads. No in-app purchases. Nothing to unlock. The whole game is the game.

FEATURES
- 60 levels that ramp from a gentle opening board to a genuinely packed
end-game grid. Every level is identical on every device, so a time you set
is a time worth comparing.
- Every level is guaranteed solvable. Boards are constructed backwards so that
a solution cannot fail to exist - not generated and hoped over.
- Beat the clock, not a clock. Each level saves your best time. Tapping an
arrow that cannot move costs three seconds, so reading the board before you
tap is the whole skill.
- Undo is free and unlimited, and restart is one tap. Poke at a board without
fear of ruining it.
- Optional hint that points, never plays. It marks one arrow that can launch
and the path it would take - you still make the move. It costs ten seconds,
so leaning on it shows up in your time.
- Make your own boards. Roll a fresh custom level in Easy, Medium or Hard.
Hard is a bigger, denser grid than anything in the main 60.
- Share puzzles with friends. Send any custom board as a QR code or a short
text code, and scan or paste a friend's to play the exact same puzzle.
- Color-blind friendly. Direction is never carried by color alone - the
arrowhead always points the way - and there's a grayscale mode that turns the
per-direction palette off entirely.
- Works on phones and tablets, in portrait or landscape.

HOW TO PLAY
1. Look at the board and find an arrow with a clear run to the edge.
2. Tap it. It flies off, freeing the cells it was sitting on.
3. That opens paths for other arrows. Keep going.
4. Clear the board. Then try to do it faster.

Whether you have two minutes in a queue or twenty on the couch, N Arrow Escape
is a calm, no-nonsense puzzle that's always ready when you are.
