Paper by day. Ink by night. • Dark Mode: warm charcoal paper and cream ink, one tap in Settings. • Made for iPhone Duo: fold or unfold mid-match and keep playing. • Game Over now keeps the final board centered on every screen. • The reminders prompt now arrives after your first match. • Many small fixes and polish. GRIDLOCK won 1st Place at the Shipaton 2026 HAMM Award. Thank you for playing.

Fixed an issue that could cause GRIDLOCK to close immediately after launch on devices running iOS 27. Improved startup reliability.

Smoother Match Rooms - Every move now animates on every player's screen, and the board follows the action. - The first player can move right away. Matches no longer lose the opening turn. - The Game Over screen now always appears, even when the last grid fills with no winner. - If a move can't go through, the board unlocks right away instead of waiting out the turn. - Your screen stays awake during online matches, so you don't drop out mid-game. - The turn timer matches for every player, whatever the clock on each phone says. ECHO in Match Rooms - Turn any Match Room game into an ECHO, just like games against the bots. Fixes and polish - Music now follows your Music volume setting from launch. - Phones that struggle with heavy effects now switch to lighter ones automatically.

New: ECHO When a match ends, ECHO turns it into a song and a short film. The song is composed from the moves you played, and the film draws the match as a constellation in time with the music. Save the song, the film, or both. Each costs 5 credits, and it's free with GRIDLOCK Plus. Once you've saved one, saving it again is free. CANVAS Create Wallpaper is now CANVAS. You can share any wallpaper you've saved, and saving the same design again is free. Fixes • Bait: once the real Bait has been triggered or removed, its decoys no longer waste your move. Hitting a decoy now just pops it and your move goes through.

- Fixed Gravity Animation - Fixed Bots movement in 2 players, 3 players and 4 players mode.
