A very nostalgic title, this is the game that occupied me during lunch times on primary school for a long time, and upon moving on into high school, I simply had forgotten about it, but not before wishing that I could get a full version at home personally.
Around a decade later, the memories returned, and online is where I finally found Supaplex back! Or rather more accurately called Megaplex...but anyhow, I was bursting with joy to return to this adventurous and oh so challenging puzzle game.
Supaplex is actually a clone of Builder Dash, of which the NES version also holds childhood memories for me. You play as Murphy, a red smily ball which navigates through grid levels where he must collect shiny objects while avoiding the stone like obstacles.
Not only that, the relentless scissors also have the tendency to chase Murphy around in latter levels, and the challenge only gets more complex and difficult as you progress in the total amount of 111 levels.
Other objects to be found include exploding floppydisks, maneuverable tubes, lightning and aggressive sparkles. Although not much content is offered, the levels are cleverly designed with variety.
It's now also possible to create your own levels through a floating editor somewhere, and there is even a new graphical boost available somewhere else, also floating around. In fact, Supaplex has such an active cult community, that there exist several versions other than Megaplex around the net.
Simply put, Supaplex is simple to pick up, hard to beat, and it's a very responsive and smooth joyful experience.
