Designing Gridlock Escape
A hero with a call to answer, proven par, a town made entirely in code, what changed along the way and who built it.

How the levels are made
A solver that proves par, searches that fill a database of 244,425 puzzles, and the curve that picks 200 levels from it.
-
The web version
One game in two builds, static pages with no ads, a rewarded video only when you ask, and a consent step before any of it.

Where the apps stand
Android is in testing and sent for review, the iPhone app is set up and not yet submitted, and neither is in a store.
