[p]So stay tuned and wishlist the game to get updates as development is ongoing. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]The First Mainstream Burr Puzzler?[/h3][p]As a fun fact, Interlocked was initially released as a Flash game in 2011 (!) on Armor Games, and later on Newgrounds, Kongregate and other web game portals. It was a special time in game dev as Flash made it easy to experiment with many genres and game mechanics. I might be wrong but I don't think I've seen the interlocking puzzle mechanic before this one. As a Flash game, it reached 20 million players. [/p][p]The game was later rebuilt from scratch as a mobile game in 2012, releasing for the App Store and Google Play. These apps are still playable today for free, I try to maintain basic support but they are quite outdated. [/p][p]Now, many years later, Interlocked is completely rebuilt again. With a little story arc, cute new visuals, and most importantly a brand new set of puzzles curated with burr puzzle designers from around the world.
