About the Game

Tezzel is a cozy, colorful, and deeply challenging puzzle game where every move shapes a masterpiece.

Step into the shoes of Mateu, an aging tilemaker in 1910 Barcelona, as he restores his reputation by completing a grand tile wall for the great master Gaudí.

Tilemaking is an intricate art that requires precision, planning, and problem-solving. You’ll need to experiment, analyse, and think ahead to complete each tile and master the craft.

                      

               

As you progress, you’ll unlock new tilemaking tools that introduce unique mechanics. Discover 10 tools across 100+ handcrafted levels, each with their own puzzling twist.

                       

Each solved puzzle adds a new tile to Mateu’s masterpiece. Watch the wall transform from an empty canvas to a vibrant work of art.

                                 

Features:

  • Master Mindbending Mechanics: Discover new tilemaking tools that start out simple and build up into confounding conundrums

  • 100 Handcrafted Puzzles: Each level is thoughtfully designed to challenge and delight with no filler, just elegant and clever puzzles

  • Nonlinear Progression: if one puzzle stumps you, explore others and find your own way through the wall

  • Tribute to Tile Artistry: Enjoy colorful pixel art and a serene soundtrack that transport you to early 20th-century Barcelona

  Can you help Mateu finish his masterpiece, one tile at a time?
