Prices in official storesOfficial stores sell the key on behalf of the publisher (Steam, GOG, Humble…). Keyshops are third-party key resellers (Kinguin, Eneba, Instant Gaming…): they cost less but aren't the publisher's store, and support and refunds go through them. Check the key's platform and region and prefer sellers with many reviews. On Linux what matters is that it's a Steam key: the game starts with Proton just like one bought on Steam.

In short

SuperTux isn't the dated game it was a few years ago. Version 0.7.0 brings reworked graphics, new abilities and redesigned levels. It's free, native on Linux and runs at 60 FPS on any hardware. If you've got kids or just want a lightweight platformer to keep installed at all times, it's an obvious pick.

What we liked

  • Stable 60 FPS on any preset and hardware
  • Reworked graphics and levels in version 0.7.0
  • Free, native on Linux, launches instantly

Less convincing

  • Difficulty curve with poorly balanced spikes
  • Some distros still ship version 0.6.x in their repositories
