Amaze GO!™ Explained: How the Arrow Puzzle Works, Plus Tips

Amaze GO!™ is a free arrow-clearing logic puzzle for iPhone, iPad and Android from Oakever Games, and it is the app currently climbing the App Store’s games chart. Each level is a grid of arrows; you tap an arrow whose path to the edge is clear, it slides off, and you win by emptying the board without running out of hearts.

That is the whole idea, and it is why the game spreads quickly: it is easy to understand in ten seconds, but later boards are packed tightly enough that the order of your taps really matters. Below is what the game is, how the rules work, where to get it safely, and how to get through the harder levels.

What Amaze GO!™ is

Amaze GO!™ is published by Oakever Games and is listed on Google Play, the Apple App Store and Samsung’s Galaxy Store. Its Android package name is com.oakever.arrows, and some third-party pages still list it under an older name, “Arrows GO!”, so you may see both names around the web.

The store description pitches it as a calm, low-clutter puzzle. A few points that the official listing and mirrors of it agree on:

• Free to download, with ads.
• Playable offline, with a clean interface focused on the board.
• Hearts that you lose for wrong taps on a level.
• Hints for tight layouts and a Guidance tool for when you can’t see a clear path.

Watch out for similar names

The arrow-puzzle genre is crowded right now, and several apps have very similar titles. AMAZE!!! is a different, older maze-painting game from another publisher, and there are other arrow-escape games with names like “Arrows: Logic Puzzle Game” or “Amaze Away”. If you specifically want the trending game, check that the developer on the store page is Oakever Games.

How to play Amaze GO!™

The rules fit in a few sentences, but they are worth knowing precisely because mistakes cost hearts.

1. Look at the direction of each arrow. An arrow can only leave the board in the direction it points.
2. Find an arrow with a free path. If nothing sits between the arrow and the edge of the grid in its direction, it can leave.
3. Tap it. The arrow slides out of the grid, which may open a path for arrows that were blocked behind it.
4. Repeat until the board is empty. Clearing every arrow completes the level.
5. Avoid blocked taps. Per the developer’s listing, a wrong tap costs a heart on that level, so a careless tap has a real cost.

Hearts, hints and Guidance

The game gives you three kinds of safety net, based on the store description:

Exactly how many hearts you get and how hints are earned or refilled is not spelled out in the sources we checked, and those details can change between updates. Check the in-game prompts for the current rules.

Where to download it (officially)

Get Amaze GO!™ only from an official store:

1. iPhone and iPad: search “Amaze GO” in the App Store, or open the App Store listing. The listing indicates iOS 15.0 or later is required, but check the compatibility section on your device for the current requirement.
2. Android: install from Google Play. Samsung owners can also use the Galaxy Store. Malavida’s review lists Android 7.0 as the minimum.
3. PC: there is no native PC version in the sources we found. Emulator makers such as BlueStacks promote running the Android version on PC; if you go that route, install the game from Google Play inside the emulator rather than from a loose file.

Avoid APK mirror sites and anything promising “unlocked” versions. They offer nothing the free official version doesn’t, and they are a common way to pick up malware.

Tips for harder boards

None of these are tricks or exploits; they are just the logic the rules imply. As levels get denser, these habits save hearts.

Work from the outside in

Arrows on the edge of the grid that point outward are almost always free to go. Clearing those first reveals the next layer. It is the simplest way to make progress on a board that looks hopeless.

Look for arrows that block each other

The real puzzle in arrow games is the dependency chain: arrow A can’t leave until arrow B is gone, and B is waiting on C. Before tapping, trace one arrow’s path to the edge and ask what is in the way. Pairs of arrows pointing at each other can never both go first, so one of them has to wait for the other side to open up.

Pause before you tap

Since wrong taps cost hearts, the biggest improvement most players can make is slowing down. Trace the path with your eyes first. The game has no reason to rush you, and the official description leans into a calm pace.

Use Guidance before hints

If you’re unsure about an arrow’s direction or path, a long-press for Guidance shows you what you need without solving the board for you. Save hints for genuine dead ends.

Don’t guess when you’re lost

If you’ve lost track of the dependencies on a big board, it’s usually cheaper to step back and reason it through again than to guess and lose hearts.

Ratings, downloads and versions: treat the numbers carefully

If you’re trying to judge how popular or well-reviewed Amaze GO!™ is, be aware that the third-party trackers disagree, as of October 2026:

• Downloads: AppBrain and other listings report different Android install counts, ranging from tens of millions to a “100,000,000+” bracket in another listing.
• Ratings: App Store ratings shown by tracking sites differ by country storefront and by date, so a figure from one country may not match what you see.
• Version numbers: download sites list several different “latest” versions, which simply means the game is updated often and some mirrors lag behind.

The only reliable figures are the ones on the official store page for your own region, viewed on the day you check. What is clear is that the game is new to the US App Store’s top games and is getting a lot of attention this week.

Is it worth playing?

If you like short, logical puzzles you can play in a spare minute, Amaze GO!™ is easy to try: it costs nothing to download, it works offline, and the rules are simple. Malavida’s review describes the core gameplay as fairly simple and mentions limited-time events and seasonal rewards in the Android version, which helps give it some variety.

The trade-offs are the usual ones for free mobile puzzles: ads, and a genre full of near-identical rivals. If ads bother you, look at the in-app purchases section of your store listing to see whether an ad-removal option is offered in your region, as offers vary and can change.
