Quick overview

SuperTux is a free, side-scrolling platformer that borrows its spirit from classic 2D platform games. You take control of Tux — the Linux penguin — and guide him through frozen landscapes filled with traps and hostile creatures, all to save his kidnapped companion, Penny.

Gameplay highlights

Players run, jump, and navigate a variety of perilous stages that test timing and reflexes. Enemies, environmental hazards, and platforming puzzles create the core challenge. The game captures the feel of retro platformers while offering modern polish and smooth controls.

Additional worlds and extras

Beyond the main campaign, SuperTux supports extra level packs and community-made stages, so you can keep exploring new icy courses and challenges long after finishing the default set.
