Tesseriss
Read full descriptionHide full description
Tesseriss is a minimalist falling-blocks puzzle built for calm, focused play. The name says what you do: tesseris (Greek, "four") + Riss (German, "tear") — tear the rows, four at a time. Three modes, one tap apart: – Crack (fast) — a smaller board and a quicker fall, for short, sharp sessions – Tear (og) — the classic feel – Shatter (hard) — with harder tetrominoes in the mix Classic-arcade feel: a 7-bag piece randomizer, fixed rotation tables, a ghost piece showing where the block will land, and a four-line clear worth 4000 points with a satisfying flash and chime. Made to be looked at: a soft, comforting palette with Day and Night appearances, plus an optional Hokusai "Great Wave" theme. A quiet soundtrack: classical music by Satie and Debussy — on/off toggle. Yours, privately: highscores are stored only on your device. No ads, no accounts, no tracking, and it works completely offline. Turkish and English, switchable in Settings.

RVAL is a two-player Tetris duel on a shared board. Instead of racing for high scores, you're fighting for territory. Each row you clear pushes the boundary line into your opponent's side of the board. Squeeze them to zero rows to win. They're doing the same to you. MODES - Solo: pick your side, pick a difficulty, take on the AI. - Drift: a scrolling, wrap-around solo mode with parallax starfield. - Online: share a 4-digit room code with a friend and play in real time. CONTROLS - Tap to rotate. - Swipe left / right to move. - Swipe up or down to hard-drop. FEATURES - Fully symmetric two-player rules: same pieces, same speed, no advantage. - Boundary line moves live as rows clear - watch your territory grow or shrink. - Five AI difficulty levels in solo. - No accounts, no ads, no tracking.
