Sample Level

Project Overview

This is my tribute to Super Tux, a game which I love so much. I want to add levels to the community archive that are both fun and challenging. This is what I have come up with.

Controls

If you've never played Super Tux before then you might have a bit of trouble moving Tux around at first. It took me a few minutes to figure it out. You can move Tux with the arrow keys on your keyboard. The down key causes Tux to duck. Tux can accelerate while walking by pressing the CTRL key. This also causes him to shoot fireballs. Before accelerating in this case shoot a fireball then run. Like Mario tux can jump via the spacebar. Jumping can be a bit difficult if Tux is big. To jump in small spaces duck then jump while ducking. Did you know that Tux can shoot fire while he is ducking? I don't think that Mario could ever do that! There are a few hidden moves that I will not tell you about but as you play my levels you'll learn them eventually.

Levels

Here's what you've been waiting for. As time provides me I create levels for the game Super Tux. I typically think them up real quickly and then develop and test them within an hour or so but usually this is not done in one fell swoop. One important thing to note is that I do keep up with the development of the game, you can count on that. This means that levels will change dramatically. Now without further wait let's browse the levels included in this package.

Thriller!

This level takes place over a huge lava sea where the sky was turned green because of the interactions of sunlight with the lava gas. In this level Tux must use his nimble feet to survive the ever changing obstacles while attempting to beat the clock. That's why this level is called Thriller!. There is a maze to complete near the end of the level. You're not looking at it in this picture.
