Read full description

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.

Line Escape

Find a little clarity, one move at a time. Line Escape is a calm, fully offline arrow puzzle. Every board is a small knot of folded lines, and your goal is simple: clear the board by removing the arrows in the right order. Each arrow leaves the board through its own exit path — but only when nothing stands in its way. Plan ahead, avoid mistakes, and clear all 30 levels at your own pace. A PUZZLE THAT FITS YOUR PACE â€ĸ 30 hand-built levels that grow from simple to satisfyingly tricky â€ĸ No ads, no timers, no rush — just you and the board â€ĸ Fully offline: play on a plane, in the subway, or anywhere without a connection â€ĸ Your progress is saved on your device, so unlocked levels, best stars, and an unfinished game are always there when you return HOW TO PLAY 1. Look at the board. Every arrow is a folded line with its own exit direction. 2. Tap an arrow whose exit path is clear. It slides out of the board and makes room. 3. Blocked arrows stay put, and each mistake costs one of your three lives. 4. Clear every arrow to win. Finish with fewer mistakes to earn up to 3 stars per level. 5. Stuck? Hints point to an arrow that can move right now, and a long press shows any arrow's exit path and blockers. TOOLS THAT HELP, NEVER PUNISH â€ĸ Unlimited hints — use them freely, stars are never reduced â€ĸ Direction guidance: long-press any arrow to preview its path â€ĸ Zoom in up to 3× on larger boards â€ĸ Pause and resume anytime; your game is saved automatically â€ĸ Sound and haptic feedback you can switch on or off PROGRESS THAT STAYS YOURS â€ĸ Beat a level to unlock the next one; replay any unlocked level to chase a better result â€ĸ Best results are never lowered by replays — your 3 stars stay 3 stars â€ĸ Up to 100 recent game records, stored locally on your device â€ĸ English and įŽ€äŊ“中文 interfaces, with system-language support Line Escape never asks for an account. Your progress, settings, and records stay on your device, and the whole game works without the internet. Just pick it up, breathe, and find the way out — one arrow at a time.
