Description from the packaging.
The Story
Turtle Bobbing is a sport which can only be carried out with the very rare Purple Turtle (Purpilous Turtilorum). You have to go to and fro across the river, to collect different fruit falling from a tree, using the fabled purple turtles as stepping stones. The trouble is that the turtles get hungry, and keep diving unexpectedly for a snack, leaving you wet (and fruitless).
9 Levels of speed, 9 levels of difficulty, scoring system and time clock. A great game for the young and young-at-heart. At the higher levels of difficulty, it will test the reflexes of the best.
Reviews
"Purple Turtles is one of the cutest games I've seen for a long time... Both the sound effects and graphics are excellent with a constant change of scenery in the background and all accompanied by a very catchy jingle... Purple Turtles has a certain addictive quality and I found it to be very enjoyable to play." - Computer & Video Games
"Very addictive with beautiful graphics." - Popular Computing Weekly
"Purple Turtles from Quicksilva is a simple, yet engaging game... The graphics are very good. Hot-air balloons and white and gray clouds drift through the sky. An owl in a tree opens his eyes and jumps up and down when you bring back a piece of fruit." - Chip Chats
