What are the different obstacle types?

Glass takes 1 hit to break, wood takes 2, stone takes 3, and iron takes 4. Obstacles break when a neighboring directional block is removed.

Does tapping a blocked block cost a move?

Yes. If you tap a block that cannot fly away because its path is blocked, it still counts as a move and reduces your score.

How is the score calculated?

Your score is 10000 minus 100 points per move used. Solving a level in fewer moves gives a higher score.

Yes. You can go back to any completed level and try again to achieve a better score or fewer moves.

How to Play Tap Away Arrows

Objective

Clear all blocks from the board by tapping them. Each block has a directional arrow and flies off the board in that direction — but only if its path is clear.

Controls

Tap or click a block to make it fly in the direction of its arrow. If another block or obstacle is in the way, the block cannot move.

Step by Step

1Look at the board. Each block has an arrow pointing up, down, left, or right.
2Tap a block whose arrow direction has a clear path to the edge of the board.
3The block flies off the board and is removed. This may clear paths for other blocks.
4Some levels include obstacles (glass, wood, stone, iron) that block paths and take multiple hits to break.
5Clear all blocks to complete the level.

Winning

The level is complete when all directional blocks have been cleared from the board. Obstacles do not need to be removed.

Tap Away Arrows Rules

Each block flies in the direction of its arrow when tapped.
A block can only be tapped if its path to the board edge is completely clear.
Tapping a block that cannot move still counts as a move.
Obstacles block paths: glass (1 hit), wood (2 hits), stone (3 hits), iron (4 hits).
Removing a block adjacent to an obstacle damages that obstacle by one hit.

Tips & Strategies

1.Start by identifying blocks with a clear path — these can be tapped immediately without any setup.

2.Work from the edges inward. Blocks near the border are more likely to have clear exit paths.

3.Think about which blocks are blocking others. Removing a key block can open paths for multiple other blocks.

4.Minimize wasted moves. Tapping a blocked block costs a move without clearing anything, which lowers your score.

5.On levels with obstacles, plan which adjacent blocks to remove first to efficiently break through the obstacle layer.

About Tap Away Arrows

Tap Away is a spatial reasoning puzzle with multiple pre-designed levels. Each level presents a board of directional blocks that must be cleared by tapping. The game features an obstacle system — glass, wood, stone, and iron blocks with increasing durability that break when adjacent blocks are removed. Level progression tracks your completion, and scoring rewards efficiency by deducting points for each move used. Each level has an optimal move count to aim for.
