Tux is just getting ready to go fishing when all of a sudden, he receives a message. The message states that his home, Icy Island, has been taken over by the Snow King, and a new Fish Tax will be imposed. Tux is furious! How dare the Snow King take away his fish?! Help Tux overthrow the Snow King and stop him from taking Tux's fish away!
ReTux is a libre open source action platformer loosely inspired by the Mario games, utilizing the art assets from the SuperTux project. The name "ReTux" is a play on the words "redux" and "Tux".
Although ReTux re-uses the art assets of SuperTux, no code from SuperTux is used in ReTux. The software portion of ReTux is entirely different, written in Python and based on the Seclusion Game Engine.
Also, just for the record, ReTux is not a clone of a game known as "Super Mario", or any game for that matter. It takes a lot of inspiration from the Mario games for sure, but the gameplay is quite different from most of them. In fact we specifically refused to follow a lot of mechanics that we feel makes the Mario games worse, even including the basic idea of how health works (we got our idea for health from the Sonic games, of all places). Nintendo does not and should not have a monopoly on original platformers in this general style.
ReTux is designed to make it easy to make levels, though it uses Tiled rather than a built-in level editor. A guide can be found here:
