About

Tesseriss

Features
Read 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") โ€” tear the rows, four at a time. Three modes, one tap apart: โ€“ Crack (fast) โ€” a smaller board and a quicker fall, for short, sharp sessions โ€“ Tear (og) โ€” the classic feel โ€“ Shatter (hard) โ€” 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 โ€” 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.

Quad Drop is a falling-blocks puzzle game. Pieces drop from the top of the grid โ€” rotate them, slide them into place, and pack each row tight. Fill a complete row to clear it and score. The game ends if the stack reaches the top, so keep your lines clearing and the board low. Itโ€™s a clean, fast take on the classic block-stacking puzzle: easy to pick up, hard to put down. The whole game is free, with no ads and no in-app purchases. How to play Swipe to move pieces, tap to rotate, and long-press to hard-drop a piece straight to the bottom. Soft-drop on the way down for a few extra points. Plan your moves Hold piece: stash a piece and bring it back at the perfect moment Next-piece preview: see whatโ€™s coming and plan ahead Ghost piece: a preview shows exactly where the current piece will land 16 speed levels Start at a relaxed one piece per second. Every 10 lines you clear bumps you up a level and the pieces fall faster โ€” all the way to a white-knuckle final level. How far can you go? Score big Clear one, two, or three rows at a time, or clear four rows at once for the biggest payoff. Your high score is saved, so you can chase your personal best every run. Themes and color schemes Play in light or dark mode, and pick the block colors that work best for you: Noir Neon โ€” bold, high-energy colors on a black grid Classic โ€” the traditional bright block colors High Contrast โ€” a colorblind-friendly palette designed for maximum distinguishability Deuteranopia โ€” tuned for red-green color vision Your theme and color scheme are saved automatically.
