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. Features - Draw flight paths with one finger - Land planes, jets, heavy aircraft, and helicopters - Match aircraft to the correct runway or helipad - Avoid birds, turbulence, screen edges, and mid-air collisions - Survive increasingly busy airspace - Take on the Daily Dispatch challenge - Compete on Game Center leaderboards - Unlock achievements and milestones - Chase your personal best - Quick arcade sessions built for "one more try" - Free to play Every landing counts. Every decision matters. How long can you keep the terminal alive?
Spellbound Grimoire
Read full descriptionHide full description
Open the grimoire. Spell words from a hand of letter tiles, clear each round's score threshold, and build a vocabulary engine that snowballs out of control. Every run is a fresh draft. Collect charms that bend the rules โ quadruple your rare letters, multiply palindromes, gild a vowel โ then stack them into combos that turn a five-letter word into thousands of points. Level your favorite word lengths with Codices. Aim tile packs at the exact letters you want. And inscribe your OWN words into the dictionary, where they score for the rest of the run. Then face the Reckoning. Twelve bosses bend the rules โ vowels score nothing, your hand shrinks, a letter is forbidden โ and you see each one coming from the start of the chapter, so you can build against it. FEATURES โข A deep word-roguelike: 50+ charms, 12 bosses, and dozens of synergies to find โข Five deck archetypes that reshape your run from the very first tile โข Inscribe custom words โ the one thing only you can do โข Seeded runs with shareable codes โ race a friend on the exact same deal โข Ascension stakes and an Endless mode for the score-chasers โข Designed for one hand, in portrait NO NONSENSE โข No ads. No in-app purchases. No timers, no energy, no daily-streak guilt. โข No accounts, no login, no tracking, no data collection. โข Opens straight into a game. It's a word game with the depth of a roguelike deckbuilder. Spell something spectacular.
