A unique four-dimensional puzzle, but please do not expect to solve it easily. The game consists of rolling a golden sphere to each surface of a hypercube. This is done by touching a door to pass through which in turn rotates the tesseract four dimensionally and brings the sphere into a new room. Passing through a series of rooms strategically will put the sphere on the walls and ceilings of rooms it has previously been in. The goal is to reach every wall, floor and ceiling of every room.

A wall is coming, with a hole in it. Your cubes must fit through. Tesseract is a 3D spatial puzzle with a racing heart. Swipe to turn your cluster of cubes, read the silhouette, and slip through at the last moment. Every wall you clear adds new cubes, so the shape keeps growing and the next hole gets harder to read. THIRTEEN WORLDS TO FLY THROUGH • Comic book pages: printed-dot spirals, a corridor of panels, inked clouds and explosions • Abstract neon: ribbons of light, a kaleidoscope, a glowing honeycomb • Winter: aurora, snowy peaks, cracked ice and falling snow • Lava: basalt split by glowing magma • Japan: a woodblock sun and mount, scale waves, koi and cherry petals • Oriental lacquer and gold patterns with paper lanterns • Pastel dunes and soap bubbles TWO MORE WAYS TO PLAY • Memory: the hole fades away as the wall comes, remember its shape • 4D: your cubes live in four dimensions, turn them through the fourth one to pass EASY TO LEARN, HARD TO MASTER • Swipe to turn the cubes, one quarter turn at a time • Double tap to launch the wall and earn the FAST bonus • Long press and tilt your phone to look around your cubes • Two fingers slow down time: win 3 clocks in each level with 3 walls in a row or a FAST clear • Plays with a controller or a keyboard too • Cubes that do not fit break off and cost a life THIRTEEN LEVELS OF RISING DIFFICULTY • Bigger clusters, faster walls, and walls that turn • Build your streak for more points • An endless final level to chase your best score • Your game is saved, so you can continue later The first two levels are free. One purchase unlocks the other eleven, with no ads and no subscription. Available in English, French, Russian, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Chinese and Japanese. Plays on iPhone and iPad.
