This is the one.
Sun May 13 2018 Kenneth AkiyamaEvery once in a while, a gamer comes along and writes a review about a game of the type that comes along once in a while.
I am one such reviewer, and Supertype is that type of game. The game is effortless in execution, while offering just enough challenge to distract players from “life” for a few minutes.
You don’t have to enter into deep concentration, and if you neglect to open the app for a week, you won’t forget where you where, or how to play. The game is as easy to out down as it is to pick up. If you have a busy lifestyle but are looking for some small distraction then you will appreciate Supertype.
Hardly a word game
Tue Jun 19 2018 OleBluHornsI really liked the concept of this game: a word game mixed with a physics game, my two favorite genres of mobile game. But what I got was simply a physics game. A word game, typically, rewards you for knowing lots of words and what they mean. It at least encourages you to learn new ones. Any game where “llllllll” can be the answer is not a word game. It is a game that uses *letters* in a new and creative way, and props for that. But it could be so much more.
What I would do: with each puzzle, include a definition or some cross-word like word hint that leads to a word which will satisfy the physics puzzle. That way if you get stumped on the physics, you can focus on the word hint, or vice versa. I downloaded this game at midnight, played it for 20 minutes, and then deleted it the next morning, because the charm and novel concept had worn off. The game that I’m describing, I would play for hours, and the game you’ve got is not far off. I just think it’s borderline false advertising to market this as a “word game.”’
A good puzzle game
Thu Jul 05 2018 SuperBoogletSome people are saying that Supertype needs to require the player to use actual words to solve puzzles, but I don’t think that’s a good idea. If you could only use real words, it would make the game into just another word game, as you wouldn’t need to worry about physics, just about the word itself. The whole game is based on physics. The letters could easily be replaced with shapes and the game would be the same, so making it into just a word game would not work. This is an awesome game for people who love puzzles. Definitely give this one a try.
AMAZING GAME WORTH 2 DOLLARS
Tue Feb 02 2021 OctoKnightThis is one of my favorite games and it’s TOTALLY worth the 2 dollars. First off, I love trying to figure out each puzzle. Some are hard while others you know how to do it immediately. But it’s still fun. I have played bacon and enjoyed it so I thought “this game is from the same creators, so why not check it out.” And I did and it is so fun.
EDIT: some levels are really hard. Can you add a hint or something to make certain levels easier? Other than that it’s a great game! Keep up the good work!
Lovely game with a memory leak
Thu Apr 04 2024 UniqueNicknamesReqThis game is great. Fun to jump in for a few minutes or sit down and play for a while.
That said, there may be a memory leak. After you play for 5-10 minutes the game slows down. The physics seem to be deterministic and not affected by this, so it’s not a big deal, but the typing becomes a bit sluggish.
THAT said, this really doesn’t detract from the experience and I still suggest this game
Good game
Fri Aug 30 2019 36834qwęrtÿthis is a good game and it’s a fun way of thinking and I can do it a few more things to get it and you get to see the other one and you get a good one thing to play and then you play the games and then go to the gate then go play it again then I play pubg I was gonna was the game I play it all day just so you know I don’t want anything you can play it and get it your back and you can play it with a lot of it your back it and it your way out and then you get to hit the gate you can get the one game play it your way back and then
Note to Devs
Fri Oct 05 2018 schubert2Kudos for an excellent physics game. It would be very helpful to have the levels numbered and a score provided showing the number of levels completed out of the total number available. I really like the idea that a solution must be earned and not simply bought or given for watching an ad. A Leader Board would be icing on the cake and provide plenty of excitement when new levels are added.
I agree with "OleBluHorns."
Sun Mar 24 2019 behind the maskThis is a truly unique, innovative game that has so much potential. And I love the minimalist design.
DEVELOPER:
1. Please add hints.
2. Please add an "X" button that clears all typed characters. The current arrow button erases only one letter at a time, and it's cumbersome having to hit it repeatedly to clear all characters.
3. After a puzzle is completed and the confetti appears, I often want to replay the combination I used in order to study what worked. But there's no replay button. As a result, replaying a puzzle requires *8* separate steps:
- Tap confetti page to go to next puzzle
- Tap to being up keyboard
- Tap home key
- Find the last puzzle played and memorize the display of the characters previously typed
- Tap to reopen puzzle
- Tap to reveal keyboard
- Retype the previous characters
- Tap the ✔︎ key
This is clearly an oversight. Please add a replay button.
I look forward to revising my rating once improvements are made.
Great game with a few issues...
Sun Dec 22 2019 reeleamAs many others have said, this game is fun and easy to learn and has a pleasing aesthetic. There are however, two things that I would change.
1. Please number the levels! Many other people have asked for this and it would work as a sort of hint system so that people could look up a tutorial on a particular level they are stuck on
2. I have not seen many other reviews about this but I feel like the create section is very hard to work with. It might help to put in a grid background to assist with the placement of dots and lines and a pause feature to see where letters are as they fall
Other than these two qualms, this game is very well made and I’m overall happy with the gameplay.
Huh? what happened?
Fri May 03 2019 BlueShark100Now don’t get me wrong because I really like this game and love the way it’s built but I had it for about a year now. The only problem is that I’ve had this game for about 2 years now and I got a little bored Because there haven’t been any new levels since. That why I took away one start but other than than it’s a great game and you should get it if you haven’t already! I hope they make more and more levels!
