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.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gridlock at none against Light House puzzle's 1. Gridlock also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). Light House puzzle's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.4). On price there is nothing between them.
