Gridlocked

This is my very first dive into game development – a heartfelt remake of a puzzle game I used to play back in elementary school.
Built entirely in Pygame, it features custom-made graphics, music, and sound effects created by me.

Some bugs and fine-tuning were solved with the help of ChatGPT, and 3 of the sprites were AI-generated – everything else was handcrafted.

Since the original level design and mechanics are inspired by the game “Pushy” by Medienwerkstatt, this version is strictly non-commercial.
That said, I’m already working on creating my own levels and new mechanics, so stay tuned for updates!

Whats the game about?

You play as a small, round, orange character with big eyes.
Your goal: Find your way back home!

Along the way, you’ll have to solve puzzles, push barrels, destroy spheres, and navigate tricky terrain. The game currently features 129 levels that gradually increase in difficulty – perfect for fans of logical, satisfying gameplay with retro vibes.

I’d love to hear your feedback, suggestions, or just see people having fun with the game.
Thanks for checking it out!
