Gridlock: Neon Nexus

Enter the Neon Nexus. Decrypt the grid. Break the Gridlock.

Welcome to Gridlock: Neon Nexus, a premium, offline-first 2D grid puzzle game that merges classic matching gameplay with tactical obstacles. Immerse yourself in a minimalist, neon-drenched grid environment where every swipe counts, and only strategy can unlock the ultimate 2048 module.

⚙️ THE UNIQUE TWIST: THE LOCKED BLOCK
Think you’ve mastered the matching grid? Think again. Every 5 moves, a static, metallic Locked Block will spawn in a random empty cell.

Immovable: Locked blocks cannot be shifted by swiping.
Isolated: Locked blocks cannot be merged or combined.
The Solution: The only way to destroy a Locked Block is to successfully merge two standard blocks in any cell directly adjacent (up, down, left, or right) to it. Plan your slides carefully or get locked out!
🌌 STUNNING CYBERPUNK AESTHETICS
Switch instantly between two premium visual interfaces:

Dark Mode: A deep obsidian space grid featuring glowing neon cyan, hot magenta, and electric purple block details.
Light Mode: A clean, sleek, and elegant pastel-neon layout optimized for bright environments and high readability.
🔒 OFFLINE-FIRST & SECURE

🎮 HOW TO PLAY
Swipe (Up, Down, Left, Right) to slide all standard blocks across the grid.
When two blocks of the same number collide, they merge into a single block with double the value (e.g., 2 + 2 = 4).
Every 5 moves, a Locked Block (gray lock icon) spawns.
Merge standard blocks next to the Locked Block to destroy it.
