## What is Tesserave?

Fill the gaps, empty the box.

Drop pieces into a 3×3 grid of boxes. Fill all 25 cells of a box and the whole box bursts — the boxes above fall down to take its place.

■ You never get stuck
Every piece you are given fits somewhere. The game works backwards from the gaps that are left to decide what to hand you. You never lose because there was nowhere to put it. The only question is where.

■ A board that lights up with the music
Waves of light sweep across the board in time with the beat — once a bar, turning as they go. Every piece you place rings a pentatonic note, so it stays in key over any track.

■ Four modes
· Time Attack — start with two minutes; every box you burst adds more. The clock does not start until you place your first piece
· Free Play — no clock, no pressure
· Daily — a new board every day, the same one for everyone
· BLOCROSS — a different rule: one 8×8 board, clear a row or column by filling it

■ Skin packs are a look and a soundtrack together
Not just a palette swap. The material of the blocks changes, and so does what happens when they burst. Wooden tiles do not glow. In the meadow pack, the animal you placed calls out in its own voice. Each pack brings its own music.

■ Everything is open from the start
Every mode is playable without spending anything. There are no time extensions, no rerolls, no revives — nothing you can buy that makes you better at the game. The leaderboard should not be a ranking of wallets.

■ No account needed
Start playing immediately. Your records stay on your device, and you can post Daily and BLOCROSS scores to Game Center if you want to.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-23

New — the gauge

Time Attack and Daily now have a gauge. It fills as you burst boxes; when it is full, tap it to spend all three pieces at once and blast a whole box away. It buys no time, but it clears the board.

Chains read better

Fragments arc further, glow in the colour of the box they came from, and leave a trail.

Fixed

· Chains stopping even when a neighbouring box had room
· Boxes drawing on top of each other as one burst
· The background going blank after a long spell away

### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-21

• Fixed a crash that closed the app immediately on launch.

• When a box bursts, shards now fly into a neighbouring box and land there.
  If the shards fill that box, it bursts too — chains happen far more often.

• You can keep placing in other columns while a box is bursting.
  The clear animation no longer stops your hands.

• Back-to-back bursts now build up on screen, step by step.

• Gems have arrived in BLOCROSS.
  Clear lines and a block turns into a gem; collect two and a bomb gem appears.
  Clear the line holding it and the surrounding 3×3 goes up with it.
  Drag a piece over and the blast area is shown before you commit.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-16

• Refreshed the title screen — each mode has its own colour, and themes now apply there too.
• Ranking sign-in can be retried from the ranking button, and your existing bests are posted.
• Fixed the layout shifting in smaller windows on iPad.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-15

No release notes.
