Pixalrow: Tap Arrow Art Puzzle
Turn your photos into puzzles
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Clear the arrows and a hidden picture appears — 255 of them, all relaxing logic. Or pick a photo and turn it into a puzzle of your own. No ads, no IAP, fully offline.
Pixalrow is a tap-away arrow puzzle that clears into a picture — including one made from your own photo.
Tap an arrow and it slides off the board in the direction it points. Blocked arrows won't budge until the ones in front of them leave, so working out the order is the puzzle. Clear the whole tangle and the pixel art underneath is revealed, cell by cell.
TAP, SLIDE, REVEAL
• 255 pictures across 15 packs.
• Larger 20×20 and 32×32 boards you pinch-zoom and pan around while you solve.
• Themed sets: animals, the universe, world landmarks, and scenes from Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, the United States, Mexico and Spain.
• Each board's subject stays a mystery until the last arrow slides away.
• No timers and no dead ends — every board is solvable. Undo any move, reset the board, or shuffle a fresh tangle whenever you want. Five hearts guard against careless taps; switch them off in Settings for a no-fail run.
• Two tangle difficulties: Normal, or Hard for a denser, longer untangle.
• Three carve styles: Classic keeps every arrow inside a single color, while Neutral and Ribbon let arrows cross colors and draw them all in one shade — so the picture stays completely hidden until it slides away.
TURN YOUR PHOTOS INTO PUZZLES
Most arrow games clear to an empty board. Pixalrow clears to a picture, and you choose the picture.
• Pick any photo, crop it, and it becomes a solvable pixel-art puzzle.
• Optional one-tap background removal isolates your subject.
• Tune the grid size and the number of colors until it looks right.
• Or draw your own pixel art from scratch in the built-in editor.
• Import color data (JSON) from our companion app, Pick to Pixel.
• Everything you make is saved to My Puzzles, and packs can be exported to share.
FOR FANS OF
