SuperTux 0.7 Beta Lands With Massive World Redesigns
Quoting: SuperTux 0.7 Beta Lands With Massive World Redesigns —
Here’s something to help you relax and have some fun while you wait for the New Year. SuperTux 0.7 Beta 1, a free and open-source 2D side-scrolling game featuring Tux, the Linux penguin, as its main character, is here marking the project’s first major release in four years, following version 0.6.3 issued in December 2021.
This beta is actually one of the most extensive overhauls in the game’s history, rivaling the scope of the Milestone 2 era, with large parts of the game rebuilt from the ground up.
The most visible changes are the complete redesigns of World 1 and World 2, including the Rooted Forest. Levels have been rebuilt with new layouts, visual styles, and pacing. Across the game, nearly all core assets have been replaced, including new artwork for Tux, enemies, backgrounds, tilesets, and environmental elements.

SuperTux Released 0.7.0 Beta with New Artwork & Multiplayer Mode | UbuntuHandbook
SuperTux, the free open-source Super Mario inspired jump’n’run game, released new 0.7.0 beta version yesterday.
This is the first update after 4 years of making. It completely remade the worlds, redesigned the character, introduced new assets for the Tux, enemies, and backgrounds, and revived Android support.
First of all, the new version completely overhauled the world I (aka Icy Island) and world II (aka Rooted Forest).
User can now press the action key (left Control by default) to get the screen to select a different world, though only Icy Island is available in my case as I never completed the first world.
