Gridlock

The game

Gridlock is a top-down traffic-puzzle in the Unblock Me tradition: a pastel ice-cream van is trapped in a toy parking lot and the only way out is sliding the other cars along their own lanes. Each car moves only forward and back on its axis, so every jam is a small logic problem — clear the exit lane, then gun the van through the gate. Thirty hand-checked levels with growing jam density, each tracked against a par move count. The lot is rendered like a playset: warm asphalt with painted lane markings, a glowing EXIT gate, tiny toy cars with soft shadows and squeaky WebAudio sound.

How to play

• Drag any car along its lane — horizontal cars slide left/right, vertical cars up/down; cars never rotate or leave their axis.
• Clear a path along the marked exit lane (row 3), then drag the ice-cream van right through the gate to win the level — confetti included.
• The HUD tracks MOVES against the level's PAR; fewer is better, and the win card compares the two.
• Press ENTER or click PLAY to start; RESET (or the R key) restores the current jam; P or Escape pauses; LEVELS opens the grid of 30 jams, unlocking as you clear them.
