TRELLIS

The tile match that respects your time. Hand-crafted puzzles, a garden that grows while you rest, 14 puppies to adopt — and a permanent promise: pay once. No ads. Ever.

TRELLIS is a puzzle game. It costs $5 once — a one-time purchase, not a subscription. You can play it in the browser today. iOS, Android and Steam are planned.

Seasonal tile match with a cozy garden meta-layer, 500 hand-crafted levels, 14 adoptable puppies, and a Wordle-style daily board. No ads, no IAP, no energy timers — one $5 unlock, forever.

One price. Every level. Every season. Every update.

TRELLIS is the tile-match game the genre has needed for years. Every other competitor — Triple Tile, Tile Master, Zen Match, 3 Tiles — drowns players in ads after every level and engineers impossible boards to sell boosters. Trellis is built on the opposite philosophy: 500 hand-crafted boards, every one solver-verified to have at least 2 valid paths, never impossible without paid help (because there ARE no paid helpers).

The Scan → Plan → Execute loop. Study the stacked board. Spot three matching tiles buried under different layers. Trace the path: take THIS one first, expose THAT one, grab the third from the left stack. Execute. The cascade pays off. That moment is the entire game.

Your garden grows while you rest. Every level clear earns seeds. Plant them in your 4×4 garden. Plants grow in real time (12 hours from seed to bloom) — they NEVER wilt, die, or punish your absence. Complete a seasonal collection (12 plants) and earn a permanent stone-plaque year monument that compounds across seasons.

Adopt your forever friend. Pick from 14 puppies (Husky, Golden, Shiba, Pug, Bulldog, Aussie, Bernard, German, Poodle, Chihuahua, Shih-Tzu, Yorkie, Tabby, Long-Boy). Name them, feed them treats earned through play, teach them 7 tricks unlocked over cumulative happy days. The dog has no decay, no neglect, no sad state — only Happy and Thriving.

Wordle-style daily board. One new board every day, same seed worldwide. Clear it and share a 3×3 emoji grid showing today's exact board to friends. Compete on time — or just play.

Built different. 19 locales hand-translated (English, UK English, Spanish/Mexico, French/Canadian French, German, Italian, Portuguese/BR & PT, Japanese, Korean, Simplified & Traditional Chinese, Russian, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Turkish, Hindi). Accessibility-first: Reduce Motion, Calm Mode, Quiet Audio, keyboard navigation, colorblind palette. Save state survives force-quit mid-level. WCAG-compliant contrast everywhere.

The brand promise: Pay $5 once. Unlock every level, every season retroactive + future, Zen mode, Tile Designer, year-stamp monuments, cloud save. No ads. No IAP. No subscription. Every update free, forever.

What’s included

Why I made it

I wanted a tile-match game built to be put down happily — hand-made puzzles, a garden that grows while you rest, and nothing designed to pull you back, so you return because it's a nice place to be. Also there are fourteen puppies, which I stand behind.
