Game overview

What is Arrow Gallery?

Tap an arrow tile and it flies off in the direction it points. If the path is clear it slides away; if another tile is in the way, you lose a heart. Each board is a small logic puzzle: which arrow can leave first, and which one is blocking the others? Find the order, get every arrow out, and the hidden picture appears.

At a glance

  1. Tap a tile to send it flying in the direction of its arrow.
  2. Only tiles with a clear path can escape, so look before you tap.
  3. You have three hearts for each picture.
  4. Stuck? A hint finds a tile that can move right now and sends it out for you.

How Arrow Gallery works

Every Arrow Gallery board is a block of wooden tiles, each with an arrow pointing up, down, left or right. Tap a tile and it flies off the way its arrow points. If nothing stands in the way, it slides off the board. As the tiles leave, dots of color appear underneath, and when the last tile is gone a pixel art picture is finished.

The puzzle is the order. A tile can only leave once the tiles in front of it are gone, so you look for an arrow with a clear path, send it away and see which tiles that frees up. Every one of the 355 boards can be cleared this way, and there is no timer.

The rules

Tap a tile to send it flying in the direction of its arrow.

A tile can escape only when every square in front of it, all the way to the edge, is empty.

If another tile is in the way, the tile bumps and comes back, the blocking tile is marked in red, and you lose one heart.

You have three hearts for each picture. Clear every tile to finish it.

If all three hearts are gone, you can watch a short ad once per board to refill your hearts and keep going, start the board again, or go back home. Every move is saved, so you can close the page and continue later.

A blocked tap. The arrow bumped into the tile marked in red, the dotted line shows the path, and one heart is gone.

Hints and coins

A hint finds a tile that can leave right now, flashes it three times and sends it off for you. You start with 3 hints and 100 coins. When you run out, you can trade 30 coins for a hint or watch a short ad, and the shop sells hints in packs of 5 for 130 coins and 10 for 240.

Each finished picture earns 10 coins, plus 10 more if you did not lose a heart. On the result screen you can also watch an ad to double the coins.

355 pictures in 9 exhibition halls

The pictures are sorted into nine themed halls, and all of them are open from the start. Boards begin small, around 10x10, and later ones mix sizes, from compact pictures up to boards 37 squares tall or with as many as 479 arrows.

Your own gallery

Every finished picture is framed and hung in your gallery. The All tab shows your pictures with the newest first, and you can open any of them to look at it up close. The home screen hangs your latest pictures on the wall around the next empty frame.

Tips for new players

1Start at the edges.

A tile on the outside that points outward always has a clear path. Clearing them opens up the tiles behind.

2Look along the whole line.

A tile needs every square up to the edge to be empty, not just the next one.

3Follow the chain.

When a tile leaves, look at the tiles that were pointing at it. Their path may be clear now.

4Zoom in on big boards.

On large boards a closer look makes it easier to read the arrows and avoid a wrong tap.

5Keep your hearts for the bonus.

Finishing a picture without losing a heart doubles the coins it earns.
