SuperTux Levels by octo
=========================
This package contains levels for SuperTux, a 2D jump'n'run game featuring our
beloved penguin mascot, Tux. For more information on SuperTux, please visit the
SuperTux homepage at .
Levels and Setting
------------------
The levels take place at some unnamed Badguy's castle. Penny is being held
captive there and Tux is trying to rescue her.
Currently, there are eight levels:
* The broken elevator
When Tux tries to enter my domain, he find that the elevator is frozen to
the ground. He has to set out to turn the heating system on …
* The Drawbridge
Tux needs to get into the castle, but it's heavily guarded. This is
probably a hard level.
* The Entrance
Tux is inside the castle, but not quite. To get to Penny he has to get past
the guards in the outer regions of the castle. This level is hard.
* The Throne Room
Finally within the inner regions of the castle, Tux has to discover that
that Badguy is having a new heating system installed and not where he used
to be, so … were could he and Penny be? This level is of medium difficulty
but requires some precise jumping at the beginning. [*]
* The Torture Chamber
If Badguy is not on his throne, he can only be in one of two places. To the
torture chamber! This level is of medium difficulty.
* The Tower
Well, Badguy and Penny weren't in the torture chamber either (*whew!*). So
off to check the second possibility: Badguy's private chambers, way up in
that devious tower of his. This level is of medium difficulty.
* Yoshi's Island 2
This is a remake of the original "Yoshi's Island 2" level from "Super Mario
World", the SNES game. Everyone who has played the original game will know
this level from heart, as it is the level to gather some extra lives.
* Chocolate Island 2
This is a remake of the original "Chocolate Island 2" level from "Super
Mario World", the SNES game. Getting to the secret exit is a bit tricky but
should behave almost identical to the original game.
Overall difficulty
------------------
The levels were designed to be a challenge for advanced players. They are a bit
mean here and there, but usually the player should be able to avoid these traps
once he knows they're there.
If you don't manage to complete one of the levels, please do tell me (rather
than sending the mafia to my home ;). Maybe a sign at the right place will save
a lot of other players from frustration, too …
Installation
------------
To play there levels, copy the to the location where SuperTux expects its
levels. On most systems, the directory “octo” must be below the directory
“/share/games/supertux2/levels/”, where “” is the path where
you installed SuperTux. Usually that's “/usr” or “/opt”.

These levels were designed for SuperTux 0.3, the development version of the
second “milestone”. All levels were tested with revision 5929 of the SVN
repository and are completable. They were designed with revision 5903 of
