Purple Place - Classic Games

I absolutely adored this game when it was one of the few game options of the time, among solitaire and minefield. For years I’ve yearned for another chance to play the cake game, hear the sound effects and see the flying clovers… I was so excited to think I could finally relive those fond memories, however, this recreation hasn’t met my expectations, whatsoever. At first I thought $1.99 was a modest price for the revival of the Purble Place I remember, but this game simply isn’t it. Although most of the visuals are wonderful, I feel a lot more effort could have been put into the actual gameplay. I’ve never purchased a game from the App Store before, but I really got my hopes up. I don’t understand why or how this game could be worth the two dollars.

This was my favorite out of the 3 purble place games when I was a kid and they did a great job re-creating it. But it’s missing something that makes the game harder and less boring. On purble place, as you’re playing through medium and hard levels it drops place mats you have to build on before you finish a cake and you can’t ignore them or it counts as a wrong cake order. On this game it only gives you another place mat when you finish a cake order. It made it too easy even when playing on hard mode. As it stands it doesn’t give enough of a challenge for me. I know the game is geared for kids and not 20 year olds but considering that this is a remake of a game from my generation I think there should be levels geared towards adults too.

I am really sad they do not have the game purble place anymore but here is a replica of the game I remember playing this when I was 3 on my great aunts computer and recently she has passed away and purble place was her favorite game and mine too but this game is great but it’s just not the same.
