This is a classical sidescrolling platformer in 2D, starring Tux, the Linux mascot, as main character. Tux has to rescue the penguin Penny from the clutches of the evil Nolok. The gameplay of SuperTux is heavily influenced by Super Mario Bros. Tux in his normal form dies at one hit, but he can transform to Super Tux if he finds an egg, and he can throw fireballs if he finds a fireflower (which only appears when he's Super Tux). Tux can collect coins, which in the current version are used to activate save point within a level (otherwise, Tux has to go through a level all over again if he dies). Features: Platforming gameplay similar to original Super Mario games, with some unique abilities such as backflipping and dynamic swimming; Lovingly hand-crafted graphics contributed by a variety of artists, alongside engaging and catchy music; Engaging levels designed with casual gameplay, puzzling and speedrunning in mind; Weird, quirky and some not-so-adorable enemies that might be too cute to kill; Two full worlds packed with unique and challenging levels, castles, and boss fights; Other contrib levels, including seasonal worlds, storyless bonus islands, and downloadable Add-ons, which feature new and unique stories and levels; Simple, flexible Level Editor, which allows for the creation and sharing of levels of any complexity. |
