With the vibrant spectrum of colors at his disposal, it's surprising it took solo developer Bart Bonte this long to reach this point. However, we're thrilled to announce that "Purple," the latest addition to his acclaimed series, is now available. You can dive into this game on Google Play and the App Store, and despite its seemingly whimsical title, it's a seriously engaging experience.

Following the footsteps of its predecessors—titled Yellow, Red, Black, Blue, Green, Pink, and Orange—Bart Bonte's "Purple" continues the tradition of his color-themed puzzle series. Drawing inspiration from games like Warioware, "Purple" is a collection of microgames, each level presenting a concise, standalone puzzle. From aligning three number 3s to navigating a brief maze, the trailer showcases the variety and rapid-fire nature of these puzzles.

Beyond the humor in its naming, there's an art nouveau charm to "Purple" that's hard to ignore. Even if the purple theme might be a bit much for some, the game's allure lies in its simple yet captivating puzzles, accompanied by a delightful soundtrack and visually appealing graphics. Will "Purple" follow in the footsteps of Bonte's previous award-winning games? Only time will tell.
