SuperTuxKart Screenshot A go-kart racing game featuring Tux and friends

SuperTuxKart is a Free 3d kart racing game; we want to make the game fun more than we want to make it realistic. You can play with up to 4 friends on one PC, racing against each other or just try to beat the computer. (a network multiplayer feature is under development)

See the great lighthouse or drive through the sand and visit the pyramids. Race under water or in space, watching the stars passing by. Have some rest under the palms on the beach (watching the other karts overtaking you :) ).

You can do a single race against other karts, compete in one of several Grand Prix, or try to beat the high score in time trials on your own.

Well this is definitely my favorite for this week, it's good it was added to FreeBSD ports collection. While it seemed boring at first, completing challenges was really exciting and it also unlocked bunch of new maps. I'm also thinking of doing some new content for it..

  Hmmm... posted by jamyskis @ 91.33.204.12 on Jun 28 2009 4:58 AM 333
I personally couldn't bring myself to give anything more than three stars to this. Here's why. For the record, I was playing 0.6.1a.

The problem with STK is that its very genre and style puts it at risk of being compared very unfavorably to the dozens and dozens of karting games for other platforms out there. No matter how devoted we are to FLOSS, most of us will have played Super Mario Kart, Crash Team Racing, Street Racer, Konami Krazy Racers etc. and I personally feel that STK just doesn't capture the fun of any of these games. The handling of the cars is just too slippery slidey for me and the track design is largely very uninspired, ranging from plain awful (Shifting Sands) to not bad (Amazon) to interesting (Oliver's Math Class).

There were also a number of bugs that were, for me at least, seriously annoying. One was the constant accusation that I was taking an invalid shortcut even though I was slap-bang in the middle of the track. I periodically had a balloon wrapped around my character even though there was no banana in sight and my opponents had seen saw nothing but my dust clouds.

When I first saw this game a couple of years ago, I have to admit that my first reaction was one of disdain, but I declined to rate it here because I knew that it was not in a mature state and time was needed for development. I think it's in a more mature state now, however, and I think it's fair to make judgment on it.

Gee, a bit late for an answer, but I try nevertheless: > The handling of the cars is just too slippery slidey for me and the track design is largely very uninspired, ranging from plain awful (Shifting Sands) to not bad (Amazon) to interesting (Oliver's Math Class).
I have to admit that I don't really understand the slippery slide comment (since we actually disabled real physics skidding) - but at the same time we hope to improve the physics in the next release.

> There were also a number of bugs that were, for me at least, seriously annoying. One was the constant accusation that I was taking an invalid shortcut even though I was slap-bang in the middle of the track.
I haven't heard of that bug before. This message should only be printed when you are clearly off track and come back to the track. For the 0.7 release the whole shortcut detection code was replaced so that this won't be an issue anymore.

> I periodically had a balloon wrapped around my character even though there was no banana in sight and my opponents had seen saw nothing but my dust clouds.
I assume you mean the anchor/anvil/parachute attached to your kart? That's not a bug, it's a feature: other karts can collect items which will attach those to the leader kart or all karts ahead of them.

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

  Very good, very relaxing posted by gerymate @ 94.44.5.19 on Apr 27 2009 9:39 PM 55555
A personal favorite. I often play a short Grand Prix (about 15 mins) to take a chilling rest in the middle of the day. Newer versions are much more joy than before 0.5!
