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.
First Jump
Tap a tile to pick it up, then tap the square two spaces away. It hops over its neighbor and absorbs it!
Every Direction
Jumps go up, down, sideways, and diagonally — always two squares in a straight line.
Mix It
Land on a different color to mix into it. Red landing on Blue makes Purple!
Primary School
Red, Yellow, and Blue are primaries — any primary can hop over any other and swallow it whole.
Chain Reaction
Exactly one tile must remain. Chain your jumps so no tile gets stranded — Undo and Restart are always there for you.
Mixed Manners
Mixed tiles are picky: they only hop over tiles that contain every one of their colors.
Peel the Gray
Gray holds all three colors. Jumping over it peels your color out — peel it apart, then build it back!
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.
