Gridlock Garden

Gridlock Garden is a sliding-block puzzler with a relaxing plant theme. You move pieces around a grid to clear paths, and the levels are clearly hand-designed rather than randomly generated. Everything is stored locally, so there's zero wait.

What I appreciate most is the lack of pressure. No timers, no energy meter, no lives. You can sit on a tricky level for as long as you like, and the hint system is optional and generous without solving things for you.

It's one of the cleanest puzzle apps I've tried this year. Great for winding down at night.
