About Supaplex
Supaplex is the first Boulder Dash-like game that is not fully grid-based: while the playing field is an obvious grid, the objects do not "snap" from one grid position to another, but can be halfway or "in between" grid positions. Supaplex introduces a number of new elements that were not present in Boulder Dash, including bugs, pieces of base that randomly cause a life threatening electrostatic discharges, Ports, which limit Murphy's movement to specific directions, and terminals, which set off yellow Utility Disks. Utility Disks are explosive floppy disks and come in three different colors: Orange Disks work like Zonks, but explode when hit or when falling. Yellow Disks do not fall yet may be pushed in any direction, and explode when the Terminal is used. Red Disks can be carried and dropped when convenient, exploding seconds after.

Supaplex port: quick answers
- Do I need to own Supaplex?
- Yes. OpenSupaplex needs game files from a copy you own. PlayPorted links only to the project page and never to game files.
- Is the Supaplex port finished?
- Yes, the project calls it playable. Its last update was Mar 2026, and the latest release is v7.2.2.
- Which systems does it run on?
- Windows, macOS and Linux.
- Is it an emulator?
- No. OpenSupaplex is a new engine that loads the original game's data, so no emulator is needed.
