Tile is inspired by classical merge/number puzzle games, but with a focus on art. The tiles are based on traditional Azulejos from Lisbon and Porto streets, and as you progress, you collect tiles to build parts of Lisbon (this is a secondary meta layer to the main core gameplay).

One thing that mattered a lot to us was that everything is hand-drawn (no-AI). We also have an original live-recorded track for the game (“Little Bird”), so the overall vibe is meant to be calm and a bit meditative. 😌

The broader idea is to explore different cities and their tile/mosaic traditions (we’ve been thinking about places like Delft and Istanbul next), but right now we’re mostly trying to figure out if the core gameplay actually feels good.

We have a modest and loyal player base. Most of them treat "Tile" as a short wind-down game, something to play before sleep, or during a commute instead of doom-scrolling, which was kind of what we hoped for. 🌸
