Tessera: Hex Puzzle

World 15 just landed — Cairn. A new objective: reach the marked stones, not empty the board. Plus animated tutorials and ambient wildlife.

Tessera is a puzzle game about stillness and sequence. Each level is a small hex board. Slide a tile until it hits another; match three of a color to clear them.

One hundred hand-curated levels across ten worlds — every one solved by the game's own solver before it shipped. No guessing. No luck. No timers. Just a puzzle and a quiet place to think.

Thirty levels are free. The rest unlock with one purchase.

FEATURES • 100 hand-curated levels across 10 worlds • Every level provably solvable — verified by an IDA* solver • Sliding hex tiles with cascading chain merges • Pre-charged tiles and chain annihilation • Rewarding bonus puzzles for clean clears • Dark mode (paper by candlelight) • Offline play · cloud sync across devices • Keyboard shortcuts for desktop play

QUIET PAPER Tessera is designed around a "Quiet Paper" aesthetic — near-monochrome ivory and charcoal, one muted accent per world, humanist typography, no drop shadows, no particles, no clutter. Ten worlds, ten colour moods.

NO DARK PATTERNS • One-time purchase. No ads, no subscriptions, no loot boxes. • No stamina systems, no "wait 4 hours" timers, no energy meters. • No tracking, no third-party analytics. • Your progress is yours. Delete it any time in Settings.
