The collection has a single home screen that offers three game packs: Purble Pairs, Comfy Cakes, and Purble Shop.

Purble Pairs is a memory and pattern recognition game similar to Concentration. The goal is to clear the box in the fewest number of laps. As the skill level progresses, the game is timed, the size of the grid increases and more similar images are used. The Beginner level has one 5x5 grid, the Intermediate level has two 6x6 squares, and the Advanced level has four 8x8 squares to solve per game (clubs, hearts, smileys, or gummies). In addition to a jester automatically finding another match for an exposed card, numerous special pairs are present in the upper tiers: like a card from the cake batter station at Comfy Cakes that shuffles the board when paired, a clock that adds more. weather. the timer, and a Comfy Cakes Chef who automatically finds and matches pairs of cards containing cakes. An advance coin bonus allows the player to expose all remaining cards for a couple of seconds, but each card exposed in this way counts as one turn. This game is not available in v0.4.

Comfy Cakes is a hand-eye coordination game. The goal is to fulfill orders in a bakery by assembling a cake to match a certain cake specification on the TV, controlling a conveyor belt that carries the cake to various stations. Cake elements include cake pan shapes (square, circle or heart-shaped), the flavor of the batter (strawberry, chocolate, or vanilla), 3 layers of cake (red, green, or white), optional frosting (strawberry, chocolate, or vanilla) and other decorations (for example, sugar can be sprinkled on the cake and, in more rare cases, flames are applied to frozen cakes to create a smooth frosting). If the cake does not match the TV specifications, the player is penalized and the cake is thrown away. If the player sends two or three wrong orders, the game is over. After a certain number of correct orders are shipped at the checkout, the player wins the game and the score is tabulated. The final score depends on the number of cakes baked, the number of incorrect orders sent, and the player's baking efficiency. At higher levels, the specifications become more complex and multiple cakes must be made in parallel on a single conveyor. The player makes about 5 or 6 cakes in one of the difficulty levels. When you don't get the features on the plastic wrap, the computer tells you that moving is not allowed.

Purble Shop is a code breaker game. The computer decides the color of up to five features (ornament, eyes, nose, mouth, and clothing) that are hidden from the player. You can choose from a variety of colors (red, purple, yellow, blue, or green) and the color can be used once, multiple times, or not. The player then tries to deduce or guess the colors of the correct features in a limited number of guesses (not available in Beginner difficulty). There are three levels of difficulty: beginner with three characteristics in three possible colors; 33 = 27 possible different solutions, Intermediate with 44 = 256 solutions, and Advanced with 55 = 3125 solutions. The beginner and intermediate levels are guessing games in which, after each move, the computer tells the player which items were correct, so there is little room for the deduction. At the advanced level, the computer does not tell the player which specific items were correct, reporting only the count of picks in the correct color and position, and the count of picks in the correct color but in the wrong position. This level is similar to the Mastermind colored peg game, where success requires logical reasoning (although there is a small chance of being successful through lucky guesses).

Purble Place is a cost-effective alternative to interactive toys. The games are simple enough for kids to grasp the basics in the shortest amount of time, yet challenging enough for their brains to get a good workout. However, the program is extremely basic and has no plot. The graphics are not that impressive either. However, it is charming thanks to its crazy cartoon style of characters and buildings. Players should note, however, that the games do not have multiplayer.

Purble Place is a simple but challenging game that you can play or encourage the little ones to play. The games offered make the experience more dynamic as each game differs from the others in terms of game mechanics. The graphics could use a modern elevator, and the addition of a multiplayer mode is welcome. However, the games are fun and educational.
