## What is The Gridlock?

Welcome to the grid.

THE GRIDLOCK is an endless block-escape puzzle set in a rain-soaked neon megacity. Every level is a lock: slide each glowing block to the door of its color, fit it through, and watch it shatter into light. Clear the board before the clock hits zero, then go deeper. There is no last level.

ENDLESS, HANDCRAFTED-FEELING LOCKS
• Infinite locks, every one guaranteed solvable
• The same locks for every player, so the rankings are fair
• A new district every 10 locks, with a FIREWALL boss to breach
• Seven mechanics unlock as you descend: rail blocks, encrypted ICE, two-layer shells, spawners, laser firewalls, glitch doors and viruses

THREE WAYS TO PLAY
• DESCEND: the endless campaign, from lock 1 to infinity
• DAILY GLITCH: one board for everyone on the grid, every day. Fastest clear wins.
• OVERDRIVE: endless time attack. Chain clears, bank seconds, set the high score.

A NEON CITY THAT REACTS
• Glass blocks, glitch effects, chromatic shockwaves and screen-shaking combos
• An original synthwave soundtrack that tightens as your clock runs out
• Rich haptics on every grab, snap and breakout

PROGRESS THAT NEVER RUNS OUT
• Earn CRED and climb 20 ranks, then Legend II, III and beyond
• Keep your HEAT streak alive for bigger rewards
• Unlock implants: extra seconds, bigger combos, more Chips
• Collect block skins, exit effects and city themes in the Black Market

GAME CENTER
• Leaderboards for depth, CRED, HEAT, Overdrive and the Daily Glitch
• 37 achievements to earn
• Your progress follows you through Game Center

BUILT RIGHT
• Play offline, no ads
• iPhone and iPad, portrait and landscape
• Game controller and keyboard support
• Color-blind friendly: every color has its own glyph
• Reduce Motion support

Optional in-app purchases add Chips, boosters and the Founder's Kit. Everything else you earn by playing.
