Game Title: Arrow Puzzle: Unblock Flow

Playable Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uniteditforce.arrows

Platform: Android

Description: Arrows is a minimalist puzzle game that focuses on a satisfying, tactile experience of untangling complex logic grids. The core mechanic is simple yet deep: you interact with arrows on a grid, and your goal is to clear the board by finding the right sequence.

What sets this game apart is its massive scale and technical polish. I have implemented over 1000 levels, ranging from quick 5x5 warm-ups to "Epic Boss Grids" that go up to 40x60 in size. To handle these giant levels on mobile devices, I developed a custom camera system with smooth pan-and-zoom functionality, ensuring the gameplay remains fluid even when dealing with thousands of elements.

From a technical standpoint, I spent a lot of time on optimization. I managed to compress the game data significantly, reducing the level folder size from 28MB to just 5.5MB through custom JSON minification. This makes the game incredibly lightweight without sacrificing content. The game features a "sawtooth" difficulty curve, mixing relaxing geometric shapes like hearts and stars with intense logical challenges. I am looking for honest feedback on the flow of the game and how the controls feel on different screen sizes.

Involvement: I am the solo developer of this project. I handled everything from the initial game concept and logic programming in Unity to the procedural level generation, UI/UX design, and technical optimization.
