Gridlock is a minimalist memory game that challenges your focus and pattern recognition. Watch the grid light up. Remember the sequence. Tap it back — in order. Get it right and the sequence grows longer. Complete the grid and the board expands: 2Ɨ2 becomes 3Ɨ3, then 4Ɨ4. One wrong tap and it's over. No timers. No distractions. Just you and the grid. HOW TO PLAY - Watch the squares flash in sequence - Tap them back in the same order - Each round adds one more square to remember - Complete all rounds to unlock a bigger grid - One mistake ends the game Simple to learn. Hard to master.
