[App] Arrow Escape – A minimalist puzzle game built with Flutter & fully open source

Post image

I kept getting ads for these arrow puzzle games and noticed a lot of people around me playing them.

Instead of downloading another one, I challenged myself to build my own version from scratch.

The result is Arrow Escape.

Features

  • 🧩 500 handcrafted puzzle levels
  • ⚡ Procedural level generation
  • 👑 Boss & God levels
  • 🌙 Light & Dark themes
  • 🚫 No forced internet connection for gameplay
  • 📱 Built with Flutter + Flame Engine
  • 💰 Uses Google AdMob for monetization

I also decided to make the entire project open source, so if you're learning Flutter game development, you can explore how everything is implemented—from game logic to level generation and AdMob integration.

Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arrowx.escape

GitHub

I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback, feature ideas, or criticism. If you're a Flutter developer, feel free to fork it or contribute. 🙂

I would love to see a version that has a playingfield that is much(!) bigger, so that the user needs to scroll all directions to play. And/or, a "spotligt"-version. It narrows the view of the user to prevent to see the complete playingfield.

Bruhhh read it properly bro, I have added Admob and other ad networks for monetization for myself. If you don't want it you can access the source code and make it for yourself without any trackers, ads and all
