Jason Rohrer, the developer behind memorable and experimental artistic games like Passage, Gravitation and Between, has released his latest title, Primrose. Itâs an unconventionalâfor Rohrer, anywayâpuzzler, designed with the iPhone in mind.
Primrose is, like many of Rohrerâs other games, a free download for Mac, Windows and GNU/Linux. It is not free, however, on the iPhone. Primrose is a $2.99 download on that platform.
Rohrer explained via e-mail why that is, âI guess itâs like a luxury taxâif youâve got an iPhone, you can afford the game, but if not, you can always play the free version on the other platforms.â You know, I can get on board with that kind of thinking, despite how unfortunately linked I am now to my iPhone.
Iâve had a few hours to mess around with it and have enjoyed it so far. It certainly seems to have more replayability than some of Rohrerâs previous experience games, something you should check out for yourself.
