I'm only 14, but I remember this game. I used to play it on my aunt's computer when I was around 4-7 years old. When I saw a remake for it in the web, I didn't have to think twice about playing it again.

Difference 3: in lvl 53 where 2 infotrons lie after some bombs, in original game they fall together (after all left and right bombs).

What a surprise... It's first time I meet a game named "Supaplex", although the rules here seems to be almost the same as in "Boulder Dash". It's interesting, that in the 90's there were rip off's too :)

Oh right, but to be honest I'm not sure how the site will take to this. It's a remake, but there isn't too much that's remade about it. Essentially it still consists primarily of other people's work, and kong often doesn't like that, for good reasons. Idk, we'll see.
Yeah, you are probably right. But I did it for couple of reason: original company which released this game doesn't exist. Supaplex is kind of forgotten and I wanted to give it second life. If it were not I would not do that.

Save and load is pretty nice. Unfortunately this also still has that terribly unforgiving old-school feel to it, like back in the olden days when they never actually checked to make sure their games weren't more frustrating than fun. I think maybe that's why we have an obesity problem right now; back in the old days you'd play a game that, say, let you get 3/4 of the way to the end then would laugh and say "Haha, you don't have this one item you need! Time to start over!" or "Haha, you made a bad decision 8 levels back! Now you lose! Have fun playing it all again!", which would invariably make you rage quit and hate the game...except the majority if games were like that, so you'd wind up saying "Screw this shit." and going outside instead.

it's ok... but i find the controls could be tightened up a bit. i find when i'm reversing direction that the character doesn't really respond, particularly in tight situations. other than that, good remake.

2nd difference detected: in original game after about 40 seconds of not doing anything Aplex makes gape and sad face after it. This happens 2 more times, after which (is there is something from left or right) falls sleep.
5/5 for idea :)

I love this game! My 1st computer game i've played on i80286 computer in about '93 year. ^_^
One thing in mechanics that differs: when 2 orange disks fall at the same time on near titles explode from right centers 1 title higher then left explode.
Company which released Supaplex doesn't exist anymore. The game has been released as free couple years ago (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supaplex ). Game has already couple of clones (but they need to by downloaded/installed etc.). I did it because I wanted give this game second life. I think it is forgotten and this remake is a chance to show people that old games could be still very playable and enjoyable. Read others people comments. I did it for those people.

Truly epic! High five for those who remember that game, and high five too for those that are about to see how old games used to rock!
