A while ago I saw in IRC a link to a very addictive puzzle game called "Gridlock". The shochwave flash version is here http://www.crystalnewmedia.com/gridlock/
Screenshot (yes, I know the graphics are "merry", but I'm not an artist 😊 ) here
The 0.9.0 (very late beta) version is attached to this post (you need to be registered to download it). I'd appreciate if ppl would post bug reports and suggestions for improvements. I'm planning to release 1.0.0 version and the whole "project folder" including source code and build scripts later this week.
PS. Dunno why (could be the Opera+Linux combo I'm using 😊 ) but for some reason there's 2 attachments with same name. I can't get dir of that 0 sized attachment without removing the real attachment as well). Please ignore the upper attachment.
PPS. The attachment didn't even work... another try with Phoenix browser 😊
wow that game owns so much!!! thank you for bringing it to our phones 😃
The words.....A-A-A-A-R-R-R-G-G-H-H-H-H-H-!-!-! describes this game best 😃
Great game 😉
looks like a great game. I spent many wasted hours playing with a real version of this 😊
I have posted the news to the front page so hpefully you'll get some more attention and testers.

You have to move all of the other blocks out of the way so you can create a path for the purple block to leave the square (On the right hand side).
It's nearly on a par with Vexed frustration wise, but not quite as bad. How many levels are there?..please say 1000's 😃
I love this game and would love to play it on my P800.. But where can I download it?

Sorry to dissappoint you, but there's only 40 levels 😊
ive rreached level 25 and am about to commit suicide lol
this certain level is killin me hahaha
Doesn't this relate to Symbian gaming?
I've reached level 40 and, it took me hours playinh the game to reach that level. Sadly after that, no more level. Maybe the next version will have thousand of levels. who knows. My advise to other gridlock player, try and finish it to level 40, then you'll realize how's the strategy and early correct movement will help you solve it. Have a good game. TQ to the developer.
I love the game. I reached level 36 so far when I noticed that it didn't save my progress, so I had to start all over again from level 1. I couldn't choose the last level from the pulldown menu 😞 after the phone had been switched off...
Would be a nice feature since the game is incrediable addictive 😮ops:

It's a bug (more like a matter of bad design). The game is saved only when you exit the game. The newer version saves the game everytime you advance a level. It should also include somewhat prettier graphics, double buffering, some kind of ending and a "skin" support.
After finishing all the stages (up to level 40). The game did show all the level, so I can choose which level that I want to try again. No problem on this one.
I've taken a screenshot of level 40, but no idea how to include it in this post. TQ if someone can help.
I would suggest you use double buffering to remove the flicker in the game, a good guide on how to do this is:

It describes how you do it in midp but its the sameish for pjava. Essentially you have an offscreen bitmap that you draw your sprites to then only draw the entire offscreen to the device.
