Pureya is a game by Majorariatto available for smartphones and computers running Windows which was released in 2021. It has you play minigames for 10 seconds before switching to another one. During a minigame, you're supposed to collect marbles, which can be used in a pachinko game to unlock new minigames, music tracks, and costumes.


This game provies examples of:

  • Anti-Frustration Features: When you unlock a minigame, you get to play it first in the next round, but it's set at a low difficulty level even if you're otherwise at level 3 or 4 so you can get a feel for the controls without jumping in headfirst.
  • Bottomless Pit: The penguin minigame has it jump over pits that make it when it falls.
  • Completion Meter: The save menu shows the percentage of everything you've unlocked so far.
  • Difficulty by Acceleration: The minigames get faster as you perform better. The difference between the ship minigame's level 2 and 3 is staggering.
  • Dynamic Difficulty: In a normal round, playing well will raise the speed, while dying enough (about two times in quick succession) will make it go down.
  • Hope Spot: Sometimes when you get two matching numbers but the middle one prevents a jackpot, the correct one will push down on it and make it happen... but occasionally, it'll fail anyway and no prizes for you.
  • Minigame Game: The gameplay consists of trying to collect marbles in one minigame out of 30 and switching to another after 10 seconds.
  • Minimalism: Only two buttons to control each minigame and next to no text is present.
  • One-Hit-Point Wonder: Every minigame has the character die when they get hit once. This means one hit ends the run in endless mode.
  • Playlist Soundtrack: The game switches between different songs when it moves on to the next minigame or once it finishes playing.
  • Rise to the Challenge: The goat minigame has it jump up platforms while the screen scrolls to the top.
  • Shout-Out: One of the railcar designs looks like a Yoshi egg.
  • Sound Test: There's a menu in which you can listen to each theme variation.
  • Soundtrack Dissonance: There are times when you get the more rock-like themes in a more peaceful minigame, like the one with bees.
  • Wrap Around: The squid goes back to the top of the screen if it reaches the bottom and vice versa in its minigame.
