## What is Gridlock?

Free. No ads. No in-app purchases. Just pure gameplay.

Draw flight paths, land aircraft, and keep the terminal alive in a fast-paced air traffic control arcade game.

The terminal is open.

The sky is already too busy.

In Gridlock: Terminal, you control a crowded airspace where every aircraft needs a safe route home. Draw flight paths, guide aircraft to the correct runway, avoid hazards, and survive as the skies become increasingly chaotic.

One bad route can cause a crash.

One missed hazard can end the run.

One more landing can beat your high score.

Simple to learn. Difficult to master.

NEW: Daily Dispatch

Take on one official challenge every day. You get one attempt, one score, and one chance to climb the leaderboard before tomorrow's dispatch arrives.

Compete on Game Center, unlock achievements, and become Terminal Master.

Features

- Draw flight paths with one finger
- Land planes, jets, heavy aircraft, and helicopters
- Match aircraft to the correct runway or helipad
- Avoid birds, turbulence, screen edges, and mid-air collisions
- Survive increasingly busy airspace
- Take on the Daily Dispatch challenge
- Compete on Game Center leaderboards
- Unlock achievements and milestones
- Chase your personal best
- Quick arcade sessions built for "one more try"
- Free to play

Every landing counts.

Every decision matters.

How long can you keep the terminal alive?
