supertype is a physics-inspired puzzle game that turns typography into a physical playground. In each level, you must hit specific dots by typing letters. Each letter acts as a physical object with a unique center of gravity. You'll need to think about the curve of an 's' or the hook of a 'j' to navigate obstacles and clear over 100 hand-crafted levels.

Our Expert Score

92/100

Supertype is one of those rare games that feels like it could only exist on a touchscreen. It’s a physics puzzle game where the 'objects' are letters of the alphabet. Each letter has its own weight and shape—a 'p' will hang from a ledge, an 'o' will roll, and an 'i' will fall straight down like a pin.

The genius of Supertype is its open-ended nature. There are no right or wrong words; you just type letters that you think will interact with the environment to hit the dots. It’s minimalist, elegant, and intellectually stimulating. It makes you look at typography in a completely different way—not as language, but as physical matter.

No, you only need to type letters whose shapes and physics will help you hit the targets.

Ratings & Reviews

This is the one.
Sun May 13 2018 Kenneth Akiyama

Every 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 OleBluHorns

I 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 SuperBooglet

Some 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 OctoKnight

This 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 UniqueNicknamesReq

This 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 36834qwęrtÿ

this 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

Amazingly great
Fri Dec 26 2025 MCnuffery

Whoever gave you 2 star for it not being a “word game” and trying to give you a definition of what the game should have but is never said in the description is completely ridiculous. They said that this isn’t a word game at all and gave you two stars, when did you say it was? The point of the game is to master the physics of shapes, not learning new words. Great game and super unique.

I agree with "OleBluHorns."
Sun Mar 24 2019 behind the mask

This 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.
