Arrowscapes™ - Arrows Puzzle

Enjoying this puzzle, I have many of them! But this one’s my favorite for several reasons!!! One the levels are random going between standard puzzle to hard, to very hard, extreme, to difficulty, & nightmare level, reason being I like the change back and forth it’s much more relaxing that way. Not every puzzle is with super tiny arrows gives the eyes a chance to relax. I also enjoy the random change in colors as well as the bigger size in the in between puzzles. It’s got just the right amount of back & forth challenges without going overboard. ☺️. Hope it stays as is with the random change in colors, sizes, and challenges, as well as some more relaxed puzzles in between.

Update: Can’t believe I’m having to come here again. FIX YOUR FORMATTING. You can’t swipe up, or close (in any easy way) this app, because it won’t respond - it just moves the arrows around the screen, because the scroll function goes all the way to the edges of the game window, so there’s no grabbing the edge of the game window to swipe up or close it, it just swipes the whole game around the screen. What is taking so long? __________________________. Firstly… TOO MANY ADS. Literally every game there’s an ad. What even is that. Do you realize none of us actually watch any of them? Secondly, you have to do something about the fact that you can’t swipe up to close this or minimize this game on an apple device, because all it does is move/zoom the game around. It’s impossible to swipe up on this thing because of the zoom function IN the game. Why isn’t there a small border around the app so when we swipe up to close or minimize, it grabs that instead of just moving the arrows around the screen?

I play this because it could be so relaxing. I’m almost 70, so sleep does not come easy. My mind is still young…you know the drill. What keeps this game from being relaxing are the constant and LONG ads. Just when we get into the flow of the game, you guessed it…another long ad. It breaks concentration and also causes unnecessary stress. Please, I understand you want to make money, but let us get through five rounds before you hit us with ads. I usually delete games that do these constant interruptions for add. I was very close to doing that with this game last night. Instead, I am posting this review in hopes that you will listen and take action to reduce the number of ads. If you did that, I would happily give you five stars. As it stands, I can barely justify three stars even though the game itself is fun. Too many ads simply get your game deleted. Thanks for your attention.

As the title says, I want to live this game. It is well done, colorful (unlike some other arrow puzzle games), and reasonably challenging. The gameplay itself is a good experience and I enjoy playing it. But my God, the ads. And I he deceptiveness about them by this game’s developer. No mention of ads in the App Store listing. No in-app purchases. You install the game and play a few levels and no ads appear. You’re thinking, “This is great, maybe too good to be true.” Because it IS too good to be true. The developer hides the bad from you u til you’ve played about 50 levels or so, and the. Brace yourself, the ad storm is coming. Banner ads at the bottom of th gameplay screen ads between levels. Sometimes between every level. Sometimes you might play 2-3 levels. There’s doesn’t seem to be a pattern or logic to when they appear and how many, but they will be ever present and ultimately you end up spending more times watching ads (often the same ad repeated a zillion times) than actually playing the game. This, for me, defeats the purpose of playing a relaxing game. I am uninstalling it. I would have gladly paid $3-$5 to remove the ads, but that isn’t offered in this game. You’re forced to view the ads if you want to play. This is the developer’s right, but this choice, and the choice to be semi-sneaky about it, mean I will exercise my choice to find a game of this style that better suits my wants/needs. If you find ads annoying, pass on this one.

Rare that I review- but I’m grateful for the way this app handles ads. They are not too frequent and when you see what it is you can close them down quickly- thereby not wasting a ton of my time. They are not the gambling ads either- which I find insulting. I like how I can quickly reset the play without seeing an ad-if I use the 3 lives- because I sometimes touch an arrow I didn’t mean to. I do sometimes wish I could enlarge the screen more- which is not always available- but it hasn’t been a significant problem. Congratulations to the developer- I won’t be deleting this one.

I overall like this game a lot, keeps thinking and spatial skills sharp. My issue is when you run out of moves and you have to watch an ad. The screen says you get 5 moves for watching the add - that's usually enough to finish the level. But what in fact you get, is usually 2 moves and then you have to watch another ad. So is it a glitch in the coding that QA should have caught, or intentional to make you watch more ads in order to finish the level?? 🤔 ** UPDATE - Game crashed on level 958. Cannot be reset. Tried contacting game developers but no response.

I just downloaded the game, so I’m a new player and might change my mind if the game gets too challenging. Right now, this game has surprised me. It’s much more fun and engaging than I thought it would be. Not too hard, but not so simplistic that you feel silly for playing it. Also, on a different point, the game is NOT so loaded with advertisements that you get more ads than game. UPDATE: I am deleting the game, about a week after I first downloaded it. I definitely enjoyed the game, but the more I played and the more complex the puzzles got, the more difficulty I encountered. The games are not too hard – but I have a tremor in my hands, and had real difficulty touching the correct arrow, when two arrows had their arrowheads side-by-side. I don’t think they’re going to redesign their game for me, so I think I’m finished with this one.
