Tessera

Two boards. Two hands. One battle.

Tessera is a match-3 × falling-block hybrid wrapped in a dark-fantasy roguelike campaign. On the left, swap gems to forge tetrominoes: every four you match becomes a real falling block. On the right, those blocks drop into the well, and every line you clear is a sword swing at the monster looming over you.

THE FORGE (MATCH-3)

• Five elemental gems: fire, water, wood, earth and metal.

• Match exactly four to forge that exact tetromino shape. Precision matters.

• Line up five in a row to detonate your ultimate.

THE WELL (FALLING BLOCKS)

• Hold, ghost piece, T-spins, back-to-back bonuses and All Clears, with adjustable DAS/ARR handling.

• Every cleared line strikes the enemy. Finish with their weakness element and the damage doubles.

A ROGUELIKE CAMPAIGN

• Five chapters of elemental monsters, elites and multi-phase bosses, capped by the Furnace Core itself.

• Enemies fight back: slag rows, frozen gems, chained blocks, sealed elements and worse.

• 100+ relics, items, shops, treasures and branching event maps. Build a run that breaks the game in your favor.

• One-life runs on higher difficulties. Spare or smelt fallen bosses, and live with what follows.

AND BEYOND

• Nightmare difficulty with six curse presets for veterans.

• Endless mode for the pure score chase.

• An interactive step-by-step tutorial that gets you forging in two minutes.

• Full English and Simplified Chinese support.
