Arrow Collapse
One tap. One way out.
Every block points somewhere. Tap one whose path to the edge is clear and it launches straight off the board — everything above it drops into the gap. Tap the wrong one and it just rattles. Clear the grid to win.

How it plays
The whole rule fits in one sentence
No timers, no matching, no combos to memorise. One rule, and then hundreds of variations on how hard that rule can get.
-
Read the arrows
Every block on the board points up, down, left or right. That arrow is the only direction it can ever travel.
-
Tap one with a clear run
A block escapes only if every cell between it and the edge of the board is empty. Distance doesn't matter — obstruction does.
-
Watch it collapse
The block flies off, and everything stacked above it falls into the space it left. Which opens some runs and closes others. Clear the board to win.
Why it never wastes your time
Every level was solved by a machine before it was handed to a human
Puzzle games that generate levels at random hand you unsolvable boards and call it difficulty. Arrow Collapse doesn't ship a level until an exhaustive solver has walked its entire move graph and produced a winning line. If the solver can't beat it, it never reaches you.
The same search is what tunes the curve. It measures how many moves genuinely branch, how many legal-looking taps quietly doom the run, and how deep a trap can hide — so "harder" means more to think about, not just more blocks.

What's in it
Built to be picked up for two minutes or forty
-
360+ curated levels
Six difficulty tiers on a continuous curve. The earliest levels are hand-authored to teach the rule; the rest are generated, then filtered hard.
-
Three hearts, no energy meter
A blocked tap costs a heart. Hearts reset every time you start a level — there is no timer counting down while you're away from the game.
-
Hint and undo
Stuck, or fat-fingered a tap? A hint pulses a block that's genuinely safe, and undo puts the board back exactly as it was.
-
Plays offline
Every level ships inside the app. On a plane, on the subway, on aeroplane mode — the game doesn't need a connection to work.
-
No sign-up, ever
No account, no email, no social login. Your progress lives on your phone and nowhere else.
-
Free to play
Free with ads. Ads are paced deliberately: none at all for the first five levels, and never straight after you've chosen to watch one.

The studio
An Orelia game
Orelia is a small studio that builds mobile games and software the slow way — one idea, taken seriously, until it holds up next to the best thing in its category. Arrow Collapse is one of them.
