Tessera

Tesserae is a 2-d combination of Rubic's Cube, Checkers and the more advanced levels of Q-Bert. Simple yet colorful symbol graphics make for endless hours of gameplay... akin to how one can play MineSweeper or Tetris on end, this game got into your head. Gameplay consisted of "flapping" tessera, or tiles, from squares over adjacent squares. The result would either create a complex tile, or cancel out, resulting in the deletion of a tile. The goal was to clear the board entirely. Higher levels were designated by added tile complexity, and larger board grid sizes.The game can be played either on one mosaic or as a tournament in which the object is to solve all nine boards with the lowest overall score.Good luck and enjoy this game!

error... there is a problem can't make a move which on an emulated version can, a lvl2 tile namely cross-circle can't jump over lvl3 even though would land on square result should be: - where the jumping tile lands: lvl3 - where the initial lvl3 was: square

I enjoyed playing this game on Mac OS at my grandmother's house. This version is great and has global leader boards.

Played this game on the Mac in the 80s and loved it now I'm older and reminded of it and I'm better at it.

Good brain workout and fun to "jump" the tiles for elimination. The combos take planning which is challenging.

...but whatever. Thank you for porting this. All your leaderboards are belong to me.

I played this game originally on my Mac LC back in the early 90s. So happy to see it again.

Eg. some forbidden moves are accepted, like landing a singular on the same singular.
