What Is It?
It’s an kids gaming app but completely different to how you might imagine. It is incredibly unique and challenging but in a good way.
Is It Easy To Use?
Yes, very, just fire it up and work your way through the various levels. The objective is to rescue your colored god buddies from a huge monster. You’re a god too, a purple one. you need to uncover the puzzle for each stage and each stage is very different to the last.
At various stages you will come across Purple’s pals, they look the same but are different colors. It’s very much a puzzler this game, and there’s various things you need to work out to advance to the next level, whether that’s cutting a rope, making it rain or even building a path. Along the way you need to find objects and solve puzzles to progress too.
Is It Fun?
Yes, it’s great fun and offers a very unusual platform for gameplay, one that we haven’t come across too often before from the App Store. It’s a very creative game.
Is It Pretty?
Yes, absolutely, the UI is excellent and this is an app that could win a design award.
Should You Download It?
Currently it’s down in price to only $0.99, even at the full price of $1.99 it was worth picking up, but at this reduced price, it’s a no-brainer.
