Tileo

The tile river. A puzzle painted on tin-glazed tiles, for iPhone and iPad.

A finished wall: the river runs from two springs to the sea, and painted boats sail it

Wall 9, the tulip field, finished with three tulips

A wall painted in manganese purple glaze

A wall of old tiles has been set wrong

Turn the tiles and swap them until the water runs from the spring to the sea. Then a painted boat sails down the river, and the wall wakes as it passes: the mill turns, the church tolls, the cow lows.

Ten walls made by hand teach the trade one idea at a time: bridges, locks, whirlpools, two-faced tiles, two springs, tulip fields that must be watered on the way, and nailed tiles that turn but will not leave their place. After them the wall goes on for ever, and there is a new wall for everyone every day.

Every wall earns up to three tulips, and tulips buy the old glazes: manganese purple, iron brown and copper green.

Everything on screen is painted in code, brush stroke by brush stroke, and every sound is made as you play. No ads, no accounts, nothing to buy.
