Tuxanci is first tux shooter. In the absolute beginning it was inspired by a well-known Czech game Bulanci. Today Tuxanci goes its own way and is much better then Bulanci (except the graphics though).
Game supports 1 player and 2 players game on one computer and also supports gameplay over network (LAN/Internet [IPv4 and IPv6]).
Goal in this game is to shoot enemy Tux before he does so. Tux can shoot only in X and Y axes so no diagonal shooting is available yet (in fact it is even not being planned at the moment).
Basic gun - one shot at the time
2x Basic gun - two shots at once
Few shots per fire, small intervals
5 shots per fire, high dispersion
Shoots fast and long coherent light
Put them around, step on them KABOOM
Fires bomb which mirrors any obstacles and explodes only if it hits penguin.
- Speedy tux: tux move faster
- Infinite ammo: you have really big backpack of ammo (fire at will)
- 4way shoot: tux fire on shoot in every direction (cost only 1 ammo)
- Teleport: if somebody shoots at Tux he teleport himself away
- Ghost: Tux can move and shoot through obstacles.
Bonuses last only few seconds and if tux take another bonus then first one loses its effects.
Starting game is simple tuxanci-VERSION or tuxanci-server-V. based on what we
compiled (based on presumption user installed into directories where path
is set).
If you are using bundled binary and tuxanci are reporting "File not found!"
error, you need to launch it directly from BIN directory
(eg.: $ cd tuxanci/bin && ./tuxanci-VERSION).
For client we create some configuration files in $HOME. There is created
.tuxanci directory and in there are pretty selfexplaining .conf files.
For server we create directory /etc/tuxanci-server/server.conf where you could
do some changes for it (again pretty selfexplaining).

The original Tuxánci can be found here.
This is also on OSX and Windows, not just Linux. Both of those ports don't compile and no longer maintained (Due to me not being able to maintain them by myself. You can send me a email at bluMATRIKZ@gmail.com or open a issue if you want to maintain one of them).
xHire (one of the former developers) has a website with more information about Tuxánci.
