Speaking of Super Tux, I hope some day in the future that a guy, Kelvin Shadewing on yt, finishes his SuperTux Advance. Just playing what is currently available, currently just for windows, blows away SuperTux, at least in my opinion.
SuperTux is great in it's own way, but I love Advance better because of QOL things like being able to run and also having different playable characters with different abilities. If running is available in the original, I sure have not been able to figure it out, either keyboard or gamepad.
Though, will say I absolutely love SuperTuxKart because of all the custom content for the game that adds so much.
As far as I remember, holding fire while moving will make SuperTux run. Similar to the popular platformer which-must-not-be-named from the NES (which likely only did it like that because the controller had only 2 buttons).
SuperTux Advance
For reference, this is the github: https://github.com/KelvinShadewing/supertux-advance
It uses a cross-platform engine (Brux GDK), in theory you just run game.brx
from the Brux engine. Is it really Windows only? ..that'd be weird for a Tux game.
Pretty sure for now it's just being developed for windows if you want prebuilt executables, but I'm sure with the source code it's possible to make it work with another OS like Linux, but that's beyond my pay grade.
No idea about running it from the Brux engine, but I can certainly try later because I would love to play it on my laptop.
Sad if it is Windows only.
Widelands for a The Settlers 2 feeling!
Pioneer Space Sim is my favorite. Fly around the galaxy, trade and do combat, with realistic Newtonian physics.
Xonotic & Minetest.
Xonotic is like mind butter once you learn the flow of it.
Also, friendly correction Minetest is now called Luanti (with Voxelibre mod)!
Luanti(Formerly Minetest) = Game Engine
Voxelibre(Formerly Mineclone2) = Game
^this is the optimum form of the information I intended to convey
Also, afaik, "Minetest game" is still the name of one of the games (and it used to be shipped by default with the engine, though no idea if that has changed and they finally don't include any games in the initial download).
I think the game you can now find in Luanti called "minetest" is a preservation of the mod as it was before the name change to "voxelibre" though I would imagine the actual story is more complicated than that.
AFAIK, Voxelibre was renamed from "MineClone2" which was a fork from "MineClone" which is a different game than "Minetest game"

I keep bouncing off but it seems awesome, how do you like it?
I has stronger Tower Defense elements, but it seems to be a lot of fun especially also in multiplayer.
Try UnCiv if you like Civilization 5
It's my new go-to mobile time killer. I think it works well on a touchscreen.
Will do!
That actually looks amazing.
It is amazing
It doesn't just look cool as fuck, it actually delivers on the vibes it gives off and it does so in spades.
WOW. I just had a vision of my potential life for the next several years.
hell yes!
I'm playing a skirmish at 0.1 resource production, pausing constantly, and it's STILL pretty overwhemling. But fun and slick!
If you aren't already use shift click to que up multiple commands for units (this works for any command in the game). Once you get used to relying on it everything becomes way more manageable!

Also set your factories to "repeat" and set up defensive patrol routes with your factories so you can sit back a bit and not have to micro everything as hard.
Also the community is friendly don't be afraid to ask for help in getting better!
Space-click is such a nice feature. I stopped wishing I could edit queues once I found it.
Super Tux and Wesnoth are my favorite, followed by SuperTuxKart.
I haven't played Wesnoth (I really should lol). What's it like?
If you like old school turn based strategy games, it's awesome. Beautiful pixel art, great UI, great gameplay.
Just installed it and I like it already!
Its a stragegy game where you move units on a hexagonal board. Its a pretty unique system in my opinion. Its kinda like advanced wars.
Battle for Wesnoth and 0 A.D. are also pretty decent FOSS games.
Battle for wesnoth is such a great game
I can't believe I forgot to include 0 A.D.! Can confirm, it's really fun.
