This simple and elegant Flash game looks like a work of art: minimal design paired with maximum gameplay. While not an original concept, Gridlock features classic sliding-block puzzle gameplay that will surely exercise your brain. Each level holds a blue block that you must slide through the opening. Slide any of the blocks necessary to achieve your goal. Progress is saved automatically.
Corwin Derkatch of Canada has been hosting this game for a couple of years now, and I continually see references to it popping up. A very well-executed game in the genre, and a very beautiful game to behold. Click.

Help. I can't stop playing!
Some levels I can see the solution right there infromt of me. Other levels I would not be able to tell you just how I got that crazy block through that hole!

Hints on level 31, anyone? I'm totally stuck here.
Posted by: PinkieHil | October 22, 2005 5:15 PM
I can only get the blocks to move up or down, not left or right.... what's up with that??
Posted by: mc5552968 | January 23, 2006 4:06 PM
I've been stuck on level 34 for a very long time now. For a few months, I've tried mindlessly moving the blocks around, trying not to think about it too much or just trying to plan out the entire execution beforehand. It just seems impossible. I keep ending up at the same places no matter what I change.

Just wondering about this. I am stuck on level 34... has anyone here beaten it??? I don't think it's impossible, but i am starting to wonder...

There's an IRL version of this game semi-designed for children, with big plastic cars and wheels that fit on a grid, with the game basically working the same way as this.
I never got past like... level 25 of this one. Very tough.

For those stumped by level 34, here's a screen shot of the ending. Hopefully this works a hint...

@Jay - I have the same problem that SAM did. It appears that the link has problems.
@SAM - I was able to Google and find it on a number of other sites though. This one worked just fine:
