Tessera - Block Puzzle
Block puzzle with 500+ levels, pulse ring, and four game modes.
Solution
Most block puzzles end with a high score. TESSERA has a campaign: six worlds with twenty levels each, and every world challenges you in a different way — collect gems, clear rows, break ice, trigger the Pulse, or reach a target score. On top of that, there are twelve handcrafted puzzles and six levels whose starting boards form an image.
Place blocks, complete rows and columns, and decide when to use your energy. TESSERA combines the familiar block puzzle formula with a tactical system that changes every game: the Pulse Ring.
A game lasts as long as you have time for — one minute while waiting in line or half an hour in the evening.
THE PULSE RING
Every cleared line charges the ring around the board. The stored energy gives you two options:
25% energy: Rotate a piece and create new placement options.
100% energy: Trigger the Pulse and clear a 3 × 3 area.
This means it is not only about where you place a piece, but also when you use your energy. Rotate now to complete a line? Or save the full Pulse for the moment when there is barely any space left? A fully charged ring can also save you from an immediate game over.
EASY TO LEARN, TACTICAL DEPTH
On the 8 × 8 board, every decision is immediately understandable — and can change the course of the entire game. Plan combinations, keep important areas open, and develop your own strategy for ever-higher scores.
FOUR GAME MODES
Classic Mode: No timer, no limit. Just your high score.
Story Mode: 120 levels with unique objectives and limited moves.
Timerush: Start with 40 seconds. Every cleared row gives you more time.
Challenge: The daily challenge. The same board, the same piece sequence, one attempt worldwide.
In Challenge, your skill decides the result — not luck.

Unlock achievements, improve your high scores, and master lines, chain reactions, and the Pulse Ring.
