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.
