Arrowscapes – Arrows Puzzle

I have found myself a new obsession in Arrowscapes Arrow puzzles! I can easily get Lost in Time… I have had to force myself to put my phone or IPad away because I had to eat. lol. Whole meals have been skipped or become quite cold because I was distracted by this and my other game of choice ( hexa blast💥 type) shhhh. Not supposed to review other games but these are my fun brain occupiers. I try to keep my brain active since I am(clears throat) umm considered “old” 👵😒However I still believe I’m that kid playing my Atari 2600 ( for those of you kiddos out there scratching their heads and wondering what an Atari 2600 is, it was one of the super most funnest first video game machines & it rocked, well back then 🤣) My Dad worked part time in a Sears store (also now a retail relic but he was a fireman & they work 24 hrs ON & 48 hrs off so he liked to keep busy on those 2 off days) so he used to bring my Sister and I a bagful of display games and man we had a blast.💥 But I digress, just give this game a try and as long as you’re good at following instructions or have good attention to detail skills, or maybe you even need some help in those areas, Just DL the app & enjoy!!!

The actual gameplay in Arrowscapes is a lot of fun; the unfortunate thing is that the game doesn't exist to be fun – the game exists to serve ads, and the fun gameplay is only there to make you stick around for the ads. It's just like "commercial radio", the purpose of which appears to be entertaining you with music or people yammering about politics or whatever it is you might care to listen to, but the actual purpose of which is supplying you with what you might care to listen to so that you'll stay there to hear the commercials. The good news is that, although you can't pay to get rid of them (because they're the reason the game exists), the ads in Arrowscapes are easily bypassed by quitting and re-launching the game. The bad news is that starting with level 31 or so, you have to do this at the end of every level; and further possible bad news is that, now that I've revealed the secret to bypassing the ads in an App Store review, the developers might seek to make the ads harder to circumvent, which would make this game not worth playing at all. But the good news to follow that is that there are other games with this same gameplay out there. I have not played any of those others yet, however, so I don't know what thinly veiled agendas they may have, if any. Maybe it's time to find out.

I love this app! I’ve downloaded lots of free puzzles, including probably at least 15 of this type, and Color Maze is far and away the best. I think I just finished #518, and every puzzle has been a delight; I love the colored arrows, and especially appreciate that the grid— I guess that’s what you call it— the lines you can call up to make sure you avoid collisions—is always available, and always free. Each puzzle layout is logical and always challenging. You never get a message telling you “this version is outdated! Please try our new version!” (I downloaded a puzzle app yesterday that gave me that message less than an hour after I downloaded it! And it was trying to get me to download a totally different kind of puzzle!) No trickery here—and I’ve never had a game interrupted for an ad❣️
