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.
