Hi, I really like the look of the tiles and the look of the main character.
hey i’ve been really enjoying the game!! So i have question about one level… level 8. I don’t even know how to get started. I’m even thinking it’s bugged?? Like there’s no way to get out of the start zone. Can you check or provide some guidance? Thanks!!
also i’m not quite understanding how bug behaves. I never got zapped by being around nor eating them…
i think i know the problem - i think the ball and the scissors should explode upon ball falling bit it doesn’t trapping me inside :(
Ho crap you're right ! I must have modified the behaviour of the scissors last minute and broke something. I'll fix that as soon as possible !
Bugs were squashed ! Download and enjoy !
So happy to have a Boulder Dash clone on the PD. Was a fan of the Speccy version. It's a blast to see it on the screen. The size / game play are perfectly suited to the device. I've had a little bit of screen flicker issue. Now and then, doesn't effect gameplay. Didn't notice the "lag" when on device did notice it when playing in mirror (slightly). Great work! Oh, I'm going to review it next Wednesday on Playdate Player. A channel even smaller than the Playdate :)
Ho wow ! I'm thrilled to see your review !

Enjoying this a lot, was a big fan of Boulderdash back in the day and hadn’t heard of Supaplex but liked the look of it.
Only thing I would ask is that you do refine the controls so that there’s no delay when pressing a direction sometimes :)
Yeah that's one of the problem I'm working on tackling. It is possible I will resolve that in an upcomming update
once you adjust for it’s not much of an issue but thanks for looking into it :) great game, I like how you can select from multiple levels so even if you’re stuck on one, there’s usually others you can do to earn stars to unlock more.
