Gridlock Alchemy launched on Steam on November 11. Players draw roads between springs, alembics, crucibles and other sites, then send carts carrying fire, water and air through the network. Some products explode if they arrive too late, so congestion can interrupt production before it reaches the next step.

Gridlock Alchemy launched on Steam on November 11. Players draw roads between springs, alembics, crucibles and other sites, then send carts carrying fire, water and air through the network. Some products explode if they arrive too late, so congestion can interrupt production before it reaches the next step. The

objective is to manufacture the Philosopher's Stone and convert material into gold. The road tools include traffic lights, one-way streets, tunnels and teleporters. A daily challenge lets players compare networks online, and players can run it alone or with up to three friends. Official Steam listing Image credited to
