Tux Football is a soccer game that is presented in a 2D top-down view. The game is designed to replicate the experience of playing association football.
The ball is controlled via two kick buttons – one for pass and one for shoot – with aftertouch available for applying shots. You can apply quick and directional pressure to bend shots in different directions. Tux Football includes some key features to enhance the experience such as realistic physics on the ball that includes bouncing off goal posts, bounds detection, sound support for music and SFX, and a title screen with menu options.
Players can choose from two teams with the ability to perform different moves such as passes, kicks, tackles, and headers. For those wishing to customize their experience, Tux Football also allows users to redefine keys and select the number of players.
To install, simply unzip tuxfootball.zip into a dedicated directory. Linux users will need to ensure that they have an up-to-date version of SDL, SDL_image, and SDL_mixer as well. The game is intuitive to play and the controls are easy to understand. To run the game, windows users just need to change directories and double-click on tuxfootball.exe while Linux users can change to the game directory and type ./tuxfootball. Overall, Tux Football is an excellent choice for those who love football games and want a quick and responsive experience.
