Author:Kristen Update:Feb 23,2025

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, offers over 50 uniquely challenging puzzles.

Following the color-naming convention of its predecessors (Yellow, Red, Black, Blue, Green, Pink, and Orange), Purple delivers a visually stunning and aurally pleasing experience. The gameplay features a rapid-fire succession of short, self-contained puzzles, ranging from simple pattern recognition to mini-mazes. The focus isn't on overwhelming complexity, but on quick, inventive challenges.

The game's consistent purple palette, combined with a custom soundtrack, creates a visually and aurally captivating atmosphere. While the concept might seem simplistic, the artful design and addictive gameplay loop are undeniable. Purple's charming aesthetic hints at Art Nouveau influences.

Whether Purple will achieve the same critical acclaim as Bonte's previous titles remains to be seen. However, its blend of simple yet engaging puzzles, a delightful soundtrack, and appealing visuals makes it a worthwhile download.
