Arrow Puzzle: Foldaway Origami

Foldaway is an origami game and arrow puzzle for a quiet moment: tap a paper arrow, clear its path and watch it fold into a bird. A relaxing arrow escape game you can play offline.

Every sheet is covered in paper arrows. Tap one and it slides the way it points. If the path is clear, it glides off the edge and folds into a little paper bird. If another arrow is in the way, it bumps back and costs a heart. Clear every arrow to finish the sheet.

The rules take seconds to learn. Reading the board takes longer: which arrow is really free, and which one only looks free? Every Journey sheet tells you how hard it is, from Warm-up to Expert.

A PAPER ZOO TO FOLD
Every ten sheets fold into a new origami: a paper boat, a fox, a whale, an owl and more, sixteen figures in all. Each sheet you solve adds one fold, and the last sheet of a chapter is shaped like the figure you are about to finish. Some sheets come in other shapes too: a heart, a cat, a star.

Clean moves make music: every arrow you free without a slip plays the next note of a rising tune.

BUILT TO BE FAIR
• A tap between two arrows never costs a heart: nothing moves until you tap the one you mean.
• Hold an arrow to see its path first. Holding never costs a heart.
• Leave in the middle of a sheet and pick up exactly where you left off.
• Play any finished sheet again to chase three stars.
• Every sheet fits on your screen: no zooming, no panning.

WHY IT FEELS CALM
• Plays offline: on a train, on a plane or on the couch.
• Hearts only count inside a sheet. Run out and you can start the sheet over at once, for free, or watch a short video for one more heart. No energy bar, nothing to wait for.
• Zen mode switches hearts off. Nothing to lose, just the puzzle.
• No forced competitions: no leagues, no races, nobody to beat but the board.
• Clear ad rules: no full-screen ad at launch or in the middle of a sheet, none in your first seven sheets, then at most one every three sheets. A small banner sits below the board.

A DAILY SHEET
A new Daily sheet arrives every day: one calm puzzle with your morning coffee or before bed.

PAPERS TO UNLOCK
The stars you earn unlock new paper for your board: rice, kraft, washi, mint and dusk.

HINTS WHEN YOU ASK
Stuck? Tap Hint and an arrow that is free to leave lights up. Hints only appear when you ask for them.

COMFORTABLE TO PLAY
• Light, Dark or System appearance, plus a Bold arrows switch for thicker lines.
• A color-blind-friendly arrow palette, with optional shape markers so no arrow relies on color alone.
• Sound and vibration each have their own switch in Settings.
• Plays in 14 languages; pick yours in Settings.

Foldaway is for anyone who enjoys arrow games, arrow escape puzzles, arrow zen puzzles, origami games, paper folding, zen puzzle games and brain teasers. Fold your first sheet and let the birds go.
