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.

updates are good but man they did my boy old forest and five keys gimmick wrong :( i'd like to have the old levels in the editor as a bonus at least, bath zone and that one where the forest is burning were sick af levels (ik i can downgrade versions but the updates are too good to pass up) plus, the stomping sound effect from other versions is missing along with others, maybe take care of that will keep up with the updates, good job! edit: nvm the best old levels are still there

Buggy or something. The "joystick" is stuck in forward. I can't control the movement. But I have played this game on my desktop through Linux and it's a cool little game, only reason its getting a 3. It's pretty much useless on my phone until this bug is fix.
