This is a simple puzzle game where you make chains, and turn heads to stone. Thats it. This is our first game using Godot, so, yeah, it's not terribly optimized, or elegant. Pixel punk. no grids, no stupid pixel art rules (they aren't actually stupid, I'm just angry).
Tessel Run
Navigate a physics-based puzzle platformer where colored surfaces alter the rules of gravity and movement. Roll through hand-drawn levels, using color-coded tessels to overcome obstacles and reach the goal. Precision and experimentation are key to mastering the dynamic challenges.

You are a ball in a world of hand-colored tessels where color changes the rules of physics. Tessel Run is a physics-based puzzle platformer where color-coded tessels modify how the world behaves. Roll across different colored surfaces to flip gravity, remove obstacles, bounce higher, and chain effects together to reach the goal. Each level is built from hand-drawn tangram shapes, scanned from real paper drawings by the developers and assembled into dynamic tessellations. Precision, momentum, and experimentation matter. And falling is part of learning the path.
