Games that work

Honest status: Works means we've played it in Tessellate on a real PC, or the game splits the screen itself and Tessellate only starts it. Experimental means it's set up and should work, but hasn't had a real couch night yet.

And the community's games

Tessellate also reads the split-screen setups the Nucleus Co-op community wrote over the years. 271 of them convert as they are and appear in the app's Add game search. They're all experimental in Tessellate until someone plays them.

The setups the app downloads and updates on its own are on Patterns, with each file to read.
