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 โ€” 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 โ€” Toggle Neighbors: learn the core mechanic - Level 2 โ€” Wrapped Edges: the grid's borders connect to each other - Level 3 โ€” Locked Cells: plan your route around cells you can't touch - Level 4 โ€” Moving Obstacles: predict a patrol pattern before you move - Level 5 โ€” Limited Moves: every single move counts - Level 6 โ€” Multiple Objectives: satisfy several win conditions at once - Level 7 โ€” One-Way Cells: directional tiles that only ripple one way - Level 8 โ€” Number Constraints: cells with values that wrap on overflow - Level 9 โ€” Hidden Cells: uncover concealed information by playing around it - Level 10 โ€” Master Gridlock: every mechanic, combined, in one final puzzle Difficulty ramps up fast โ€” 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 โ€” 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.
