Appearance

Purpleguy is a pixelated, purple-colored sprite taking the shape of a human, similar to William Afton's appearance in the Five Nights at Freddy's 3 minigames. He is purple with white eyes, black eyebrows, and a black mouth.

Attacks

		Temporarily increases the party's speed.
		Throws an 8-bit sword that has a 1/10 chance of dealing 99999 damage.
		Chance to transform enemies into weaker enemies.

Strategy

Purpleguy is really powerful against groups of enemies, but rather useless against bosses. He has Speed Song, which can increase Speed to all characters for 1 minute, but if the Speed Chip is enabled, then don't use this ability.

Like Jack-O-Bonnie, Purpleguy has Slasher, which has a 10% chance to do 99,999 damage to all enemies. The chance is still the same for bosses.

He also has Hocus Pocus, which has a 50% to turn all enemies into weaker enemies. This does not work against bosses.

Trivia

• Purpleguy is the only playable character to have a fully 2D battle sprite.
• When Purpleguy is not unlocked, his icon makes his face look a lot bigger, being the whole square.
• Purpleguy is one of two characters that have only two frames in their idle animation, the other being Crying Child.
  • However, Crying Child's attack animation has more than two frames, while Purpleguy remains at 2.
• Purpleguy having the Slasher attack is most likely a reference to his core series character being a murderer.
• Oddly, his name is "Purpleguy" instead of "Purple Guy".
  • The reason why is to distinguish him from William Afton.
• Purpleguy is the only playable character that is naturally 8-bit.
  • This is odd, since Crying Child and Animdude are made three-dimensional while Purpleguy isn't.
• Purpleguy is, along with Crying Child (a ghost based on human child) and Animdude, one of the only playable "humans" in the game, if the sprite from There is No Pause Button (the sprite himself he uses) is considered human. However, its still unknown if they are exactly humans.
• The loading screen may literally refer to how long Scott took to make the sprite for Purpleguy, as well as the overall simplistic nature of the sprite itself.
• Purpleguy possessing the Speed Song attack may refer to his core series counterpart chasing the animatronics in the Five Nights at Freddy's 3 minigames.
