We've all seen these kind of traffic solving puzzle games before, but this one should be crowned king. it has an amazing aesthetic without getting in the way of gameplay, nice features that others don't have such as an undo button, as well as calculating the fewest moves it should take to complete a puzzle and showing you how you compare. It also has over 9000 levels which is kinda crazy. Definitely with the price of this kind of puzzle game is up your alley.

Unblock Gridlock introduces a directive to this classic favourite puzzle game. With a directive of helping clear the city of traffic jams, and well pulled off toon style polish, Unblock Gridlock is my new instant favourite interpretation of the classic puzzle game.

Classic traffic jam puzzles (a LOT of traffic jam puzzles) in a pleasing package. There's nothing much more to say than that.

This game brings me back to my childhood, when I used to play a physical traffic jam puzzle. I went and looked if there was a computer/app version similar to it and I found it.
Review
The UI is neat and minimalistic.
The music is nice and relaxing.
The gameplay is unlimited! it keeps you going and going, I can see myself doing these puzzles for hours (or days).
The price is good for the amount of endless amounts of puzzles it have.
As for suggestions for the game
I wish there were options to get the main vehicle piece a different length / another storyline for example:
a firetruck or a school bus.
A change in the environment every once in a while like some parks with trees or water in the background, day and night transition, seasonal colors or weather.
Overall fun and tricky puzzle game, simple design and easy to understand.

A bland, inoffensive remake of the classic Rush Hour games. Good for kids, I suppose.

Looks like a fun game. Used to play a game like this on IOS forever ago. Aesthetic is nice. Controls are intuitive.
I will definitely enjoy this once the dev puts out an update that makes the settings work. Right now turning the music and effects volumes down to zero does nothing. I would probably spend hours doing these puzzles if I was listening or watching something else while this was on mute.
Developer was very responsive in fixing the audio issue I pointed out. A+ support!
8.5/10 Great value for the money.

Simple and devious as all good puzzle games are! Quick to learn for what will no doubt be hours of satisfying cursing at the game and its obviously twisted developer.

Classic sliding block puzzle * practically infinite.
If you get around to playing through the game, you might want to think about your life priorities, but for short bursts every now and then, the puzzle type is classic for a reason and here it is pleasantly done.
At the same time it doesn't really have any external reason to keep playing, there's no story (well, except the miniscule one in the tutorial), everything is unlocked from the beginning and the number of puzzles is so big that any kind of "completeness" just will not happen, so this keeps you entertained just as long as doing slide puzzles keep you entertained.

Mayor Frump thought that removing the traffic lights would eliminate traffic jams that keep affecting the city. However it obviously makes everything worse so it's up to the player to remove the cars in front of the police cruiser to open the way.
The game basically works the same way as any sliding block puzzles work. You keep sliding the blocks, cars in this case, to open the way for the police cruiser to get to the finish line. Depending on the direction the car is facing you can only move them sideways or back and forth. It also has a very useful undo feature which lets you undo your last move.
It has over 9000+ levels some of which are quite challenging and I personally find the music relaxing as well. There are 4 difficulty settings - easy, medium, hard, expert and ALL levels are available from the start. Within a level you can also see the minimum number of movements required to finish it. Depending on your number of movements you are awarded stars. You will get 3 stars if you finish the level within the minimum number of movements.
The developer is very helpful and responsive. Two issues players found were already quickly addressed and fixed. Definitely worth the buy to play in short bursts when you find a few minutes of free time as well as to support the developer. If you happen to run into some of those sliding block puzzles in any hidden object game and found that you really enjoy them like I do, this is the game that will keep you busy for a long time.
