Tessera: Hex Puzzle

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.

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.
