alt_route How to play
Tap a clear arrow. Keep your hearts.
An arrow leaves when the lane in front of its head is empty. A blocked tap costs one heart. Clear the board to win the level.
Hearts, then an empty board
A tap on an arrow that cannot leave breaks one heart. Keep clearing until every arrow has left the picture. Easy, Medium, and Hard give you 2, 6, and 10 minutes, and finishing in time adds 50% extra coins.
VS Boss
Open it from home or from a collection. You take turns tapping a clear arrow. A longer arrow scores more points. Freeze, Fire, Eagle Eye, and Blinder are the powers for the match.
