Game Description

A physics archery puzzler where nothing moves until you decide that it does.

Time is frozen. Nothing moves. No gate, no rotor, no spike, until you say so.

Time Arrow is a physics archery puzzler with one twist: you are the clock. Drag anywhere on the left of the screen to aim and fire. Hold anywhere on the right to let the world flow. Let go and everything stops dead, mid-swing, mid-fall, mid-spin.

Every level is a question of WHEN, not just where.

FREEZE. AIM. FLOW.

TWO-THUMB CONTROLS

• Aim with one thumb and conduct time with the other • Trajectory preview lets you plan the arc before you commit • Fewer arrows means more stars. Three stars a level if you're precise • A Hint you can call up any time • A Skip that appears when you're stuck

80 HAND-BUILT LEVELS ACROSS FOUR WORLDS

Grassland: 5 levels that teach you the language

Desert Dusk: 30 levels of gates, movers, rotors, and crosswind

Deep Ocean: 30 levels of currents, tide gates, and urchin corridors

Neon Overdrive: 15 levels built entirely around portals and gravity wells

OBSTACLES THAT ONLY MOVE ON YOUR CLOCK

• Gates that open and shut on a cycle • Rotors that sweep across the only gap in the wall • Spikes, sliding platforms, crosswind, and armoured guards • Portals that are inert rings while time is stopped and working wormholes the moment it isn't • Gravity wells that pull your arrow in or shove it off its line

TWO ENDLESS ARCADE MODES

ZEN RANGE

No clock. No fail state. No timer.

Three targets, one streak, and a range that starts perfectly still and only wakes up as you warm up.

The whole screen aims.

WAVE DEFENSE

Guards close in from both flanks, and they only move when time does.

But idling drains your Chrono Charge. When it bottoms out, time runs free whether you like it or not.

BUILT TO RESPECT YOU

Freeze the world. Read the gap. Loose the arrow.
