Ratings and reviews

After a bit of playing controls locked up and the right arrow was stuck. Upon restarting it was still locked up and I was unable to access the menu to see if I could change a setting to fix it. Changing the games zoom before this issue made controls very inaccurate as well. Only right and the jump button worked unless zoom was set to auto. Besides the bugs like this I ran into the game is an incredible nostalgic rebuild of old platformers. Easily worth 5 stars if the bugs are ironed out

This was my childhood game of choice, i love to see it here from the actual developers, yet there is a small issue i found, preventing me to give 5 stars. In the map, between levels (red/green dots) everything is sluggish, but the gameplay is running smoothly, removing the animations didn't solve the issue, because tux takes a lot to go from one dot to the next, except near the level 'oh no, even more snow balls' were it speeds up. I suspect it has to be with the high resolution of the map.

I've playing this game on mobile before this update. But all the progress has been reset, cant even seem to find the savegame files anymore. And the buttons are too small, now we can't even acess anymore the first menu, where we were previously able to change that. Thank you, anyway, for transporting this game to mobile version.

What's new

Updated to version 0.6.3. Fixed a crash on Android 10.
New GLES2 renderer makes the game slower, send your complains to upstream developers or buy yourself a faster phone, because I'm not making my own renderer.
You can download the previous version here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/libsdl-android/files/apk/SuperTux/
