Tap the arrows free and clear the board
Arrow Rush is an arrow escape puzzle where every tap counts. An arrow with a clear path to the edge flies off; a blocked one stays put and still costs a move. Plan the order and clear the board before your moves run out.
Free on Google Play for Android 7.0 or newer. The game shows ads; a one-time purchase removes every ad you did not ask for.

How to play
- Find an arrow whose path to the edge of the board is clear, in the direction it points.
- Tap it and it flies off the board, which opens space for the others.
- Tap a blocked arrow and it stays put, but the tap still costs a move. The arrow in its way flashes, so you can see why.
- The colour tells you how an arrow flies: cyan sideways, violet up and down, coral and green along the two diagonals.
- Clear every arrow before the Moves counter reaches zero. Win without a wasted tap and you earn three stars.
Levels, stars and the daily challenge
- Levels: solving a level unlocks the next. The level list shows your stars, and any unlocked level can be replayed.
- Stars: three for no wasted taps, two while your wasted taps stay within half of the spare moves, one for any other win. Every move you save adds bonus points.
- Daily challenge: one board a day, the same for everyone. Solve it on consecutive days to grow your streak.
- Undo takes back your last freed arrow and refunds its move. Wasted taps cannot be undone, so the stars keep their meaning.
- Hint shows, after a short ad, an arrow that can fly right now. Out of moves? Once per level, an ad gives you +5 moves.
Questions people ask
How do you play Arrow Rush?
Tap an arrow whose path to the edge is clear and it flies off the board. A blocked arrow stays where it is, and the tap still costs a move. Clear every arrow before your moves run out; with no wasted taps you get three stars.
Is every level in Arrow Rush solvable?
Yes. Each board is built by playing it backwards from an empty board, so a solution exists by construction. If you run out of moves, the way out was there.
Is Arrow Rush free?
Yes. It is free and paid for by ads: a banner on the home screen and on the result card, and a full-screen ad now and then when you leave a finished level, never when you come back to the game. No ad covers the board while you play, and there is no subscription.
How do I remove the ads?
Buy Remove ads once in Settings. It removes every ad you did not ask for, for good. A hint or five extra moves still play a short ad, because you choose to watch those. The purchase is restored on any phone signed in to the same Google account.
Can I play Arrow Rush offline, without Wi-Fi?
Yes. Every level and the daily challenge play without an internet connection; even the daily board is worked out from the date on your phone. The connection is used only for ads, Google Play purchases and updates, and usage statistics and crash reports sent to Google Firebase. Hints and extra moves come with an ad, so they need a connection.
Is my progress saved? Does it move to a new phone?
Your unlocked level, stars, best scores and daily streak are saved on your phone and kept when you close the game. They are not backed up: since version 1.0.4 Android backup is off for this game, so on a new phone, after a reinstall or after clearing its data you start again from level 1. Only the Remove ads purchase comes back, through your Google account.
How many levels does Arrow Rush have?
The numbered levels never end, and each one is the same board for every player. They start on a 4×4 board and reach 8×8 at level 33; from level 41 on, every board has 38 arrows. On top of that there is a new daily challenge every day.
How do stars and points work?
Stars count wasted taps only: three for none, two while they stay within half of the spare moves, one for any other win. Every freed arrow scores points, clean taps in a row score more, and each move left over adds a bonus when you win.
I am stuck on a level. What can I do?
Undo takes back your last arrow and returns its move, and Restart starts the level over. Hint shows, after a short ad, an arrow that can fly right now. If you run out of moves, you can watch an ad once per level for five more.
Do I need an account? What data does Arrow Rush collect?
No account is needed, and the game reads none of your files. The only sign-in is the optional Google Play Games one, for achievements and leaderboards; nothing else in the game needs it. Google's ad and Firebase services collect device and usage data, all listed in the privacy policy. Your moves and your progress are never uploaded; only if you sign in to Play Games do your achievements and leaderboard scores go to Google.
Which devices does it run on? Is there an iPhone version?
Android phones and tablets with Android 7.0 or newer; the game always plays in portrait. Arrow Rush is an Android game only: there is no iPhone or web version.
Which languages is Arrow Rush in?
The game is in English and Turkish. It follows your phone's language, and Settings lets you switch.
