GridLock Numbers

Read full description

Rediscover a classic logic puzzle, beautifully redesigned for a captivating modern experience. If you love numbers and challenging puzzles, Gridlock Numbers is a perfect match for you. Fill grids by jumping from cell to cell, following two simple rules. Move horizontally or vertically by skipping two cells, and diagonally by skipping one. Avoiding gridlock and trying not to leave an empty box behind will challenge your mind. Starting with 5x5 grid in Level 1, there are too many paths to success and you need only one of them. Place 1 on any square and then put each next number skipping double spaces for horizontal or vertical moves, single space for diagonal moves. Plan your moves ahead, see open paths, and complete the grids! If stuck in gridlock, try other paths. Undo as many times as you want or restart the game. If totally stuck, challenge yourself with other grids using the crowns you collect. With each level you pass, game board gets bigger, but not necessarily harder. There is always an option to make it harder though. Choose difficulty ‘Hard' and let us randomly decide the first cell to place 1 for you. Each number adds 10 times its value to the score. This is doubled in ‘hard’ mode. Plus, there are ‘x2' cells to get higher points and a chance to compete with top gamers on leaderboards in Game Center. • All in all, there are 6 levels with 5x5, 6x6, 7x7, 8x8, 9x9, and 10x10 sized tables. • You pass a level if you succeed placing numbers 25, 36, 49, 64, 81 and 100, respectively. • You are rewarded crowns if you can manage to put 24, 35, 48, 63, 80 and 99 even if you cannot reach the last number. If you would like to spend your time on a puzzle as compelling as Sudoku and 2048, give it a try! Can you master the grid? Good luck solving GridLock Numbers!
