Summary:
C: Captivating tile-clearing puzzle game
Description:
C: |-
<p>Primrose is a puzzle game by Jason Rohrer and a departure from his previous games. Primrose is an
exploration into deep gameplay in single-player games. It is a tile clearing and placement game with
chain reactions and without gravity or timing elements. The audio is limited to minimal but dynamic sound
effects that change with game events and progress. It was designed as a casual but engaging and intelligent
game for mobile phones. The player places pairs of coloured tiles on a 7x7 grid. Tiles are cleared by
surrounding one colour group with another colour group, scoring points. The cleared tiles change the
colour of the surrounding colour group, allowing for chain reactions that give more points. More colours
are added as more tiles have been placed on the grid and eventually the game will end when the grid fills
up. Primrose features a networked high score board with instant replay of the high scores, a comprehensive
tutorial with animated examples, a colourblind mode, glowing, pulsating, retro graphics and synth-inspired
sound effects.</p>
