Primrose in Breadstick
Breadstick runs Debian's own primrose package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so Primrose should look and behave as it does on a Linux PC. On Samsung DeX, Floating mode opens it as its own window beside your Android apps, and Desktop mode runs it on a full Linux desktop.
Breadstick draws graphics with the processor rather than the GPU, so 2D, puzzle, card and board games suit it best, and fast 3D games run slowly. More about games in Breadstick.
About Primrose
From Debian's package description
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.
