About This Game

The legend of shooting the suns, in the tip of your arrow

Arrows Without End is a Chinese-styled puzzle game inspired by the myth of Houyi shooting down the suns. The board contains only one thing: arrows made of connected cells. Slide an arrow and it flies straight out of the board along its direction — but if another arrow blocks its path, it bounces back and costs you a life.

Simple rules, deep puzzles

• One board is one maze: which arrow you fire first decides what you can fire next
  
• The longer the segment, the more it matters — the longest can span a full edge
  
• Comb patterns, side-by-side walls and ultra-long arrows all force you to re-plan
  
• Sliding arrows builds Spirit; click a sun to fire and bring a Golden Crow down
  
• Suns sink over time and scorch the board — balance solving against racing

200 hand-tuned levels + endless mode

Levels 1–200 are generated from a fixed seed, identical for every player. Past level 200 you enter Endless mode where every board is new. Every 10th level is a Ten Suns celebration with a choice of 11 stackable blessings.

Race the whole world

• Every level from 2 to 200 has a global time leaderboard, shown live on the right side of the screen while you play
  
• Daily Challenge: one board for everyone, every day — fastest solve wins
  
• Speedrun codes: generate a code, send it to a friend, and race the same board
  
• Global / Friends / My rank views, any time

Normal and Hard

Normal mode is for exploring and enjoying the puzzles; Hard mode (unlocked at level 50) reduces lives, speeds up the sinking suns and removes assist blessings — built for hardcore solvers.

Achievements and codex

20 achievements (including hidden ones), a sun codex, a blessing codex, and three forms of Yi to unlock as you progress.

Controls

Mouse-only playable; keyboard and gamepad supported (move the cursor with arrow keys or the stick, confirm to fire).
