Tesserae
Trails

Each tile is a pane of luminous glass. Jump one over a neighbor and onto a third — the middle melts away and your color blends into where it lands. Mix the primaries down to a single glowing piece.

How to play, step by step

Skipped the tutorial on first launch? It can't be replayed in the app — so here it is, every lesson preserved. Watch each glass tile leap, absorb, and blend.

1

First Jump

Tap a tile to pick it up, then tap the square two spaces away. It hops over its neighbor and absorbs it!

2

Every Direction

Jumps go up, down, sideways, and diagonally — always two squares in a straight line.

3

Mix It

Land on a different color to mix into it. Red landing on Blue makes Purple!

4

Primary School

Red, Yellow, and Blue are primaries — any primary can hop over any other and swallow it whole.

5

Chain Reaction

Exactly one tile must remain. Chain your jumps so no tile gets stranded — Undo and Restart are always there for you.

6

Mixed Manners

Mixed tiles are picky: they only hop over tiles that contain every one of their colors.

7

Peel the Gray

Gray holds all three colors. Jumping over it peels your color out — peel it apart, then build it back!

⚡ Solved in 3 — the minimum!
8

Reach for the Stars

Stars reward efficiency! Solve a level in its minimum number of moves to earn all three.

The seven glass colors

Three primaries blend into three secondaries — and all three together make gray.

Red + Yellow = Orange
Red + Blue = Purple
Yellow + Blue = Green
Red + Yellow + Blue = Gray
