What is SuperTux Advance?

SuperTux Advance is a fan game of SuperTux written in Squirrel using Brux GDK. The name comes from the graphical style, which uses a lower resolution display and a sprite style similar to Sonic Advance. Gameplay is not a 1 to 1 recreation of SuperTux, nor does it aim to be. It’s meant to be a more fast-paced action platformer than a Mario clone. While the gameplay is designed with speedrunning in mind, it is not an essential skill; the game can be played and beaten casually.

Some assets from SuperTux will be used, with graphics being remixed to match the game’s visual style.

Story

After being humiliated by Tux on the tracks, Nolok decides to get his revenge by kidnapping lots of his friends at once! Tux sets out once more, hoping to finally put an end to Nolok’s schemes, only this time, he won’t be doing it alone.
