Popular puzzle and arcade game

Supaplex is a popular puzzle and arcade game originally designed for the Commodore Amiga computer and later ported to Windows. The game is based on a character called Murphy and his mission to collect all the Infotrons, which are colored triangles, in each level. The aim of the game is for players to use their logical skills to reach the exit with as many infotrons as possible. It’s an incredibly addictive game that can be played by people of any age or skill level.

About the Game

As mentioned, Supaplex was first released for the Commodore Amiga in 1991 and then ported to Windows in 1993. It was created by programmer Philip Jespersen who wanted his work to be different from other existing games at the time.

Jespersen came up with a unique idea around gravity, physics, magnets and electricity which made it one of the most challenging and sophisticated games available in its day. Its popularity has lasted decades since it was first released due to its ability to keep players entertained while also stimulating their brains.

Game Features:

  • Supaplex features more than ninety levels each with varying puzzles and solutions making every level an enjoyable challenge.
  • The player takes up control of Murphy as he navigates his way through mazes collecting Infotrons while avoiding various obstacles such as monsters, bombs, rocks and dynamite sticks among other items that can slow down progress or even end your current game session prematurely.
  • Players must use their problem-solving skills in order to succeed in each level before they reach the exit point with enough Infotrons needed for completion.
  • Other additional features include multiplayer options where two players can work together in completing levels;
  • Colorful animations making gameplay easier with items like rocks split into two parts when passing over electric fields;
  • Bonus levels added as you progress throughout the main levels;
  • Custom skins so you can personalize your experience;
  • Saving points so you don't have to start from scratch after every level attempt;
  • Achievements via Steam support etc., giving players more incentives for keeping up with playing Supaplex until completion.

Summary

Supaplex is a classic puzzle game that combines exciting arcade style action with problem solving skills that require both focus and lateral thinking in order to make progress within the pre-generated mazes made up of colored triangles called Infotrons.

It offers an absorbing challenge both alone or when working together with friends thanks to its various features such as bonus levels, skins changes plus achievements via Steam support ensuring hours upon hours of entertainment for everyone regardless of skill level or age group - this makes Supaplex stand out from similar puzzle titles available today!
