About This Game

Purrplex is a cozy puzzle game about you and a curious cat, wandering a sun-warmed world of papyrus, pyramids, and golden sands. Each puzzle is a small board — gentle logic, just a few minutes to untangle. Make a wrong move? No problem — no punishing fail states, no lost progress. Just gentle retries. Solve puzzles to earn ancient artifacts. Watch your collection grow into a charming little museum. Outfit your sacred cat in new looks — today a panda, tomorrow a pharaoh. No ads. No timers. No microtransactions. Just you, your cat, and a world of small wonders waiting to be untangled.

A sacred cat slept for a thousand years and woke to a changed world. Their army of cat soldiers is scattered across the sands, and their treasures are sealed inside puzzle after puzzle. They hand you a shovel — and with every puzzle you solve, more soldiers come home, while every relic you collect brings back a little piece of a world they remember.

FEATURES

• Logic puzzles with one true answer. Every board has exactly one solution. No guessing, no luck — just you, the cat, and your brain.
  
• Three simple rules. Infinite variety. Each color region hides one cat, one per row and column, and no two cats sit next to each other. That's the whole game.
  
• A sacred cat who watches over you. Your feline companion sits in the corner of the screen, judging your moves, purring at your wins, and occasionally wandering off to do mysterious cat things.
  
• Dress the sacred cat in new skins. Today a panda. Tomorrow a pharaoh. Always the same sacred cat underneath.
  
• A sun-warmed Egypt to collect. Solve puzzles to earn ancient artifacts — and discover more in the divination shrine. Watch your personal museum grow from a single papyrus scroll to a hall of wonders.
  
• An army of cat soldiers is out there. A thousand years ago, the sacred cat led them across the sands. Today, every puzzle you solve brings more of them home.
  
• 30+ relics to collect — and a few familiar faces you might recognize.
  
• Three little shovels, no punishment. Make a wrong move and you lose one. Run out, and the level simply starts over. No progress lost. No frustration.
  
• No ads. No timers. No microtransactions. A pure buy-to-own game that respects your time and your wallet.

HOW TO PLAY
Dig up the cats hiding on the board. That's the whole game. Three rules, and you're in.
THE THREE RULES: ① Each color region hides exactly one cat. The board shows several colors — each color needs exactly one cat dug up somewhere on the board. ② One per row, one per column. No two cats share a row or a column. ③ Cats need their space. No cat can sit in any of the 8 cells around another cat — not even diagonally.
A FEW TIPS FOR FIRST-TIMERS: • Start with the smallest colors. The smaller the color area, the fewer options you have. • Look for "forced digs" — if a row has only one safe square left, that's where the cat is. • Once a color is solved, mentally remove it and focus on the rest. • Every puzzle has exactly one solution. If you think you found it, you probably did.
WHEN YOU MAKE A MISTAKE: • Each level gives you three little shovels. • Dig in the wrong spot and you lose one. • Lose all three and the level simply starts over. • No progress lost. No frustration. Just a gentle do-over.

WHAT YOU WON'T FIND IN PURRPLEX
No ads. No timers. No microtransactions. No punishing fail states. No lost progress. The Deluxe Edition is a one-time buy-to-own upgrade — nothing is ever locked behind in-game purchases.
