Author : Christopher Feb 28,2025

Bart Bonte's latest brain teaser, simply titled "Purple," is now available on Google Play and the App Store. This microgame collection, part of a color-themed series, features over 50 uniquely challenging levels. Expect a visually stunning purple aesthetic and an original soundtrack.

Following the color-coded naming convention of its predecessors (Yellow, Red, Black, Blue, Green, Pink, and Orange), Purple delivers a rapid-fire series of short, self-contained puzzles. The gameplay, reminiscent of Warioware, emphasizes quick thinking and inventive solutions rather than complex mechanics. The trailer showcases examples, such as aligning number threes or navigating miniature mazes.
