SuperTux 0.7.0

justmedep

Linux: just for fun. Congrats to this release. I vividly remember playing all sorts of Linux games when I was younger. Helped me to feel not as lonely as I was.

SuperTux is the first game that I played on Linux. Having said that, I must note that I recently understood what does the game more playable to me. I ran into a gaming engine, and attached examples which had the "generic platformer" game. It didn't excite me. The clue is the storytelling. Lemmings were great because the story about lemmings group behaviour and allegedly doing suicide, the nostalgia of Amiga and early PC. The penguins doing the same lack the storytelling. It's just not the same... That's why I have spent many more hours on playing Winter Challenge than SuperTux, not even knowing why I always fall out of the track (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copy_protection )

Good to see this hasn't been cease and desist-ed by nintendo.

I just wish there was a game closely resembling the Battle Mode of original Super Mario Kart. None of the later parts come even close and I’m not aware of any clones. (I know there are some mods with more levels but those are kind of lame; sorry.)

Need, I did not realize there was an Android version of super tux now. Definitely going to try it out. Would be really cool to see it added to f-Droid!

why is there still a 0 as the major version? come on, it's a stable release, and previous releases have been stable too. why not just drop the 0 as many other applications have done and call this version 7.0 showing people that this is a game with a long development history.
