Opening Strategy & Walkthrough
1. Initial Border Sweep
The wing tips point outward toward the top corners. Clear both wing tips simultaneously to open up the central body.
2. Key Blocker Obstacle
The tail feathers at the bottom left require clearing the lower wing lane first.
3. General Arrow Logic Rule
An arrow leaves the board only when every cell between its head and the outer edge is clear of non-removed arrows. Removing one arrow unlocks the lanes behind it.
