How to play

Tap an arrow. It slides out along its own trail, the way its head points.

Only a clear way works. If another arrow is in the way, it bumps and slides back. Bumps cost stars, never the canvas.

Every arrow that leaves uncovers a bit of the painting underneath. Clear them all to finish it.

Three stars for no bumps, two for one or two bumps, one for any clear.

Signposts turn any arrow that slides over them. Locks wait for the arrow carrying their key. Colored gates let only their own color through. Paper arrows lie on top of others. Tunnels come out at their twin.

Helpers come from goals, stars and the Daily Canvas: Glimmer shows one arrow that can go, Clear View lights up all of them, Lift takes any arrow off.

Keys: arrow keys move, Enter sends, G Glimmer, V Clear View, L Lift, Esc pauses.

Arrow puzzles are about order. Every arrow wants to leave the board the way it points, but it can only go if nothing is in its path. Each arrow you clear opens the way for others, and a board that looked like a tangle slowly turns into calm empty space.

Ours is set beside a lake. Each level is a canvas on an easel, cut into the shape of the picture it hides: a fish, a teapot, a sailboat, an owl. As arrows leave, the paint below them shows through, and by the last arrow you have uncovered the whole painting. Arrowmere is free and plays in your browser on phone, tablet or computer, with no download.

There are no hearts, no timers on the journey and no fail screen. Taking an arrow away only ever frees up space, so a canvas can never get stuck. Turn on Look first in Settings if you would like the first tap to show the way out and the second tap to send it.

How to play Arrowmere: the full guide

Is Arrowmere free?

Yes. It's free to play in your browser, with nothing to buy. Every helper is earned in play.

Can I get stuck on a canvas?

No. Taking an arrow away only frees space, and every canvas is checked by a solver before you see it, so there is always a way to clear it.
