Can you make the screen purple in 50 levels? Each level has its own logic. It's here, the next part of my colour puzzle series! After 'yellow', 'red', 'black, 'blue', 'green', 'pink' and 'orange' it's time to solve 50 new conundrums! Do you need help? Use the light bulb button in the top right corner of each level to get hints. There are multiple hints for each level. With the in-app purchase you will not get ads before the hints.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Superliminal at none against purple (game)'s shown. Superliminal also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 221). purple (game)'s advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 72%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Superliminal sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and purple (game) sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Superliminal against 4.6 for purple (game). That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Superliminal has 1.3K ratings behind it against 221, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 72% of Superliminal's written reviews are positive against 91% of purple (game)'s.
Superliminal ships an update every 8 days, purple (game) every 5 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
