This game will probably be considered great by some and far too derivative by others. Quite basically, it is a Super Mario clone in a penguin suit, complete with icy backgrounds and enemies to match. In many respects it plays almost identically to Mario - everything from the 'growing bigger' power-up to the poles at the end of each level are duplicated. Even the old 'my girlfriend got kidnapped - I have to save her' storyline is used.The good news is that, while the gameplay doesn't stray from the Mario formula an awful lot, the game itself does have a lot of polish. This is more than can be said about many of the 'faithful' Mario clones, which both look and play rather pathetically in comparison to this. The graphics are beautifully drawn and the animations for the various enemies, which include bouncing bombs and ice-cubes, is excellent.Another wonderful element is the fact that the game has so many levels. While most freeware games usually provide somewhere between 1 and 10 levels, this game contains a lot more and the level design itself is quite creative at times.Aside from this, the game is super-smooth and the controls are as responsive as you could hope for, as is the collision detection.

This is the Linux app named Super Tux whose latest release can be downloaded as supertux-0.3.0.tar.bz2. It can be run online in the free hosting provider. Call of roma hacksaw ridge.

This means that if you get frustrated at all during this game - it's not due to bad coding and you only have yourself to blame.Overall the good seems to outweigh the bad - it is just unfortunate that this couldn't have stamped itself with its own brand of originality, rather then borrowing so heavily from somewhere else. I am big fan of Super Mario and I thought nothing can replace Super Mario, especially some Tux. But then, when I downloaded the game, only thing I could say is 'pow'.At first time, when you run the game, a game will tell you pretty same story as in Super Mario, which is that the princess (in this game his girl Penny) has been kidnapped by the Bad Guy (Nolok). Tux now has to rescue his girl and pass many different levels before the game is over. It is pretty hard, great for kids (and those who feel like kids), playable and has high quality.

Graphics is also on good level (big Tux looks simply too big, rock isn't great solution for upgrading Tux) but it is what we can expect from most freeware games.In short, in 5MB archive, there are hours of fun waiting for you. Thresh lol. I won't deny SuperTux burrowed alot from Super Mario, however, it managed to use it in a good way that actually managed to give quite alot of credit to Super Mario.I enjoyed playing the game hugely - however, it is very easy to get frustrated and having to start the level all over again every time I died got rather samey. I think some different enemies should have been introduced instead of using the usual snowball and robot guy.I did have a huge amount of fun playing this game though, and would definitely rate it a 9.2.

Game Description

Save Your Beloved Penny

Tux and Penny were enjoying a lovely picnic on the ice fields of Antarctica when a shadowy creature stepped out from behind an ice bush and after a bright flash left Tux unconscious. When he awakens, Penny is gone and only a threatening note remains. Apparently Tux's mortal enemy, Nolok, has kidnapped his true love and whisked her away to his imposing fortress.

Help this intrepid penguin as he fights Nolok's minions and travels across the vast ice fields in search of his darling Penny. With gameplay similar to the classic Super Mario Bros., Super Tux presents an enjoyable gaming experience that gamers of any age can savor.

Classic Action

The gameplay itself is reminiscent of the classic side-scrollers of old. You control Tux with the arrow keys as you have him negotiate the various levels, avoiding the wide assortment of minions arrayed against him. Collect snowballs to double Tux's size or grab the red colored flowers to grant him some fire wielding abilities.

Jump on your enemies' heads to stomp them from the screen and collect coins in order to gain more points, or even an extra life. Find plenty of other Mario similarities such as hidden blocks, destroyable crates, the ability to run over small gaps by holding down 'run' and magic stars which make you temporarily invincible.

A Nostalgic Feeling

The similarities found in Super Tux with the classic games of old provide an entertaining gaming experience. Fans new and old can quickly pick up this title and be running and jumping in seconds as they work to complete all 26 levels. Experience some moments of nostalgia as you fight your way to the villain's castle and try to save your beloved with this amusing quest.

If you like side-scrolling platformers, then download Super Tux and begin the adventure today!
