Arrow Pop is a casual mobile puzzle game where players tap directional arrows to clear a grid and reveal hidden pixel artwork underneath. The game combines simple one-touch controls with strategic path-clearing puzzles, level progression, lives, and satisfying feedback.

I designed it for quick mobile sessions with readable board states, polished UX animations, and rewarding visual reveals.
