No ads. No in-app purchases. No subscriptions. Ever. Just the game. A sliding tile puzzle with real bite - 75 levels that start gentle and get genuinely hard. Each level is a grid of colored pieces. Slide them across the board and guide every piece out through its matching exit before the timer runs out - or switch the timer off and take your time. 8 piece shapes mean every puzzle is a spatial reasoning problem, not just pattern matching. What you get: - 75 levels of increasing difficulty, from Easy to Master, each with a proven fewest-moves solution - 3-star scoring. Can you find the optimal solution? - Watch the Solution: stuck, or short of 3 stars? See the best solution play out step by step - Countdown timer, or play without one - 3 undos per level - Daily Challenge with streaks - Daily hints, earn more by 3-starring levels - Game Center leaderboard and 15 achievements - Colorblind mode - 6 background themes - Haptics and sound designed to feel good - iCloud sync for progress No accounts. Works fully offline. Built by one indie developer who wanted to make the kind of puzzle game that respects your time and your attention. If that sounds rare, it is. Help us keep it that way :)

GRIDLOCK is a strategic, grid-based logic puzzle for players who think several moves ahead. There's no timer pressure, no reflexes required, and no luck involved — just pure spatial reasoning and planning. HOW IT WORKS Tap a cell and watch the effect ripple to its neighbors. Simple to learn, but every level adds a new rule that changes how you have to think. TEN LEVELS, TEN DIFFERENT CHALLENGES - Level 1 — Toggle Neighbors: learn the core mechanic - Level 2 — Wrapped Edges: the grid's borders connect to each other - Level 3 — Locked Cells: plan your route around cells you can't touch - Level 4 — Moving Obstacles: predict a patrol pattern before you move - Level 5 — Limited Moves: every single move counts - Level 6 — Multiple Objectives: satisfy several win conditions at once - Level 7 — One-Way Cells: directional tiles that only ripple one way - Level 8 — Number Constraints: cells with values that wrap on overflow - Level 9 — Hidden Cells: uncover concealed information by playing around it - Level 10 — Master Gridlock: every mechanic, combined, in one final puzzle Difficulty ramps up fast — Level 2 is already hard, and it only gets tougher from there. Every puzzle is solvable and has been verified to have a real solution, so if you're stuck, the answer is always findable. FEATURES - 10 hand-crafted, guaranteed-solvable puzzles - Undo and Reset so you can experiment freely - A 3-tier hint system that nudges without spoiling the solve - Move counters, timers, and a scoring system that rewards efficiency - Progress and best scores saved automatically to your device - Haptic feedback you can toggle on or off - Full iPad support with a responsive, scaling grid - 100% offline — no account, no ads, no internet connection required GRIDLOCK is built for players who enjoyed games like nonograms, Lights Out, and sliding-tile puzzles, but want something with more strategic depth and rule variety. Think before you move.
