OpenSupaplex is an open-source remake of the 1991 video game Supaplex, originally created by Philip Jespersen and Michael Stopp.

Supaplex is a variation of Boulder Dash, with new elements/enemies like bugs, electrostatic discharges, Ports, and terminals. But unlike Boulder Dash, Supaplex is not fully grid-based, allowing objects to be in between grid positions. This unique behavior results in certain bugs that players use to their advantage, the game also includes gravity in some levels.

v7.2 2026/03/23

NEW:

- Improved renderer for PSP, getting 60fps most of the time! Thanks @mills32 for this contribution!
- Thanks to the new renderer, audio quality in PSP has been also bumped.

- Now there is only one build for both Old and New Nintendo 3DS.
FIXED:
- Switch: Virtual keyboard wouldn't work when the game is running in Applet mode. Instead, now it will just autogenerate a player name. Thanks @rjimenezda for this fix!

  - Game speed.
  - Play/record demos.
  - Debug options (show FPS, load/save state, remove Zonks/Snik Snaks…). If you use these, your progress won't count!!
  - And more things!
