Tessera
A downloadable game for Windows
Tessera
Classic falling-block puzzle, rebuilt from scratch with a hand-built engine: a proper 7-bag randomizer, standard SRS rotation and wall kicks, T-spins, combos, back-to-back and Perfect Clear — no shortcuts on the fundamentals.
There's one mode: an endless run that quietly escalates the longer you survive.
How it escalates
* 0:00 — the standard guideline gravity curve, nothing else
* 0:30 — short Speed Surges: the board briefly doubles its fall speed
* 0:55 — a rising garbage row shows up on a random timer
* 1:35 — a rare golden piece appears and doubles the score of whatever clear it's part of
Scoring rewards real play
Singles through Tetrises, T-spins (full and mini), combos, back-to-back and Perfect Clears all stack on top of each other. Chase a spot on the local top-10 leaderboard.
Features
* Ghost piece, hold piece, and a next-queue preview — 1 to 5 pieces deep, your choice

Download
Install instructions
1. Download Tessera-vX.Y.Z-win64.zip
2. Extract it anywhere
3. Run Tessera.exe
Everything the game needs (SFML runtime DLLs) is bundled in the zip — no separate installation, no .NET/VC++ redistributables, no admin rights required.
Windows 10 / 11, 64-bit only. A gamepad is optional — Xbox and PlayStation (DualSense / DualShock) controllers are both supported and auto-detected.
Settings and the local leaderboard are saved to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Alone Bull Company\Tessera\, not next to the game, so it's safe to delete and re-extract the folder at any time without losing your progress.
