About this game

Slide colored blocks off the grid. Match the exits. Clear the jam before your moves run out.

Block Jam Grid is a fully offline sliding puzzle. Tap or drag a block so it glides along its row or column, and send every goal piece through a border gate of the same color. Obstacles block lanes. Locked tiles stay put until you free them. Dual-color exits force you to plan who moves first. Spend fewer moves, earn more stars.

HOW TO PLAY
Tap or swipe a block horizontally or vertically. Pieces only travel on axis and stop at the board edge, another block, an obstacle, or a lock. Goal colors leave only through a matching exit on the border — red needs red, blue needs blue. Each successful slide costs one move. Stars (1–3) come from remaining moves when the board is clear. If moves hit zero while a goal is still on the grid, restart. Hint, Clear path, Unlock, and Undo are there when a board sticks.

The rules fit on one screen. The boards get tight: several colors share one corridor, exits sit on opposite sides, and the move budget punishes guesswork. Decide who yields, who blocks a gate, and which slide is really opening a lane for the piece that has to leave next.

ON THE BOARD
R red, B blue, A amber, G green, P purple. Uppercase is usually a goal. Border cells with a colored outline are exits. Dark # tiles are fixed obstacles. Grey locked blocks cannot slide until Unlock. The Moves counter spends toward your stars.

FOUR CHAPTERS, 40 LEVELS
Chapter 1 Grid Basics is open from the start: axis slides and a single color exit, then extra pieces, obstacles, and twin gates. Chapter 2 Twin Exits puts two colors on the board whose paths steal each other’s space. Chapter 3 Locks (15 stars) adds fixed obstacles and locked blocks. Chapter 4 Tight Limits (30 stars) cuts the move budget until a line that works may still miss a star by one slide. Ten levels per chapter. Replay any board to beat your best moves. There is no countdown clock — the pressure is the move limit.

DAILY EXIT
Each device date builds one 6×6 puzzle that stays the same all day. Clear it to store your best stars and moves, and keep a streak by coming back tomorrow. No network required. Miss a day and the streak resets, but the puzzle is still there.

BOOSTERS ARE GIFTED. THERE IS NO SHOP.
This version has no in-app storefront and no interstitial ads. Hint lights one smart slide (first clear of a level, and the daily challenge once per day). Clear path removes one obstacle for this run; you start with one and later chapters refill the bag. Unlock frees one locked block for this run, gifted at 15 stars and again at 30. Undo stays in the match so you can test a line. Boosters last for the current run only.

STARS AND SHORT SESSIONS
A clear is at least one star; leftover moves award two or three. 15 stars unlock Locks, 30 unlock Tight Limits. Fully offline — airplane mode works. Progress is local. Three board themes (Classic, Night, Mint) unlock as you play. Sound, haptics, and an optional reminder can be turned off. The game works if you never allow notifications.

TIPS
Read the exits before the first slide. Non-goal colors are movable walls. On twin-exit boards, finish one color first. Think the line through, then commit. The daily board can be replayed all day; only your best result is kept.

Block Jam Grid is for players who like sliding-block logic and beating a move limit: no ads in the way, no account wall, a rule set you can learn in a minute. If you want PvP, leaderboards, or loot boxes, this is not that. Progress stays on the device. Notification permission is optional.

One slide. One plan. Clear the jam and send every color home.
