About the game
Arrow Shade is a logic puzzle also known as Yajilin. Black out some squares of the city and run one neon loop through every square that is left. Each arrow sign tells you how many dark squares lie in its direction, and dark squares can never touch side by side. Sign squares themselves stay out of the loop.
The board has two modes and a big switch between them: SHADE for tapping dark squares and dots, LOOP for dragging the neon tube. Keyboard players can draw with W, A, S and D at any time. Thirty-six boards grow from five by five to seven by seven, and each has one answer that logic alone can reach. Touching blocks and overfull arrows light up at once, and the hint explains every step.
