Thanks to @abmyii for his port of this game to Ubuntu Touch.

Tux Racer lets you take on the role of Tux the Linux Penguin as he races down steep, snow-covered mountains. Enter cups and compete to win the title! Tux Racer includes a variety of options for gameplay, including the ability to race courses in fog, at night, and under high winds.

This is just port for SailfishOS. this port based on Ubuntu Touch's port

Not working under 4.3.0.12 on XA2+ here. Installed, rebooted, icon visible, game starts, menu shows, music plays, volume buttons work, menu entry highlighting appears on press but nothing more happens... Swipe close via portrait corner applies.

Ok. Now installs on Xperia 10 II aarch64. Volume control works with h/w button. *No* visible desktop icon. Top and bottom of screen seem clipped a little, I need to compare to a different aspect ratio device to be sure.
Thanks again for (re) porting this favorite!
Another observatuon: 'Quit' doesn't fully close the app. Got to force it to close with corner swipe from 'portrait' mode corner even though it's landscape .
Edit: Desktop icon has now appeared, I haven't done anything but restart device, so perhaps that did the trick.
Edit 2: 'Quit' in the menu now works as expected.

Have you considered building it here against all kinds of versions of SDK, to avoid dependency/compatibility issues? If you've never heard of this chum thing, there's some background here.

To create an account you'd need to ping lbt on IRC or Sailfish OS forum like this. Self-registrations have been suspended for quite some time due to spam or something.

No point in uploading a "new" i486 tablet version. It doesn't work as I reported earlier and still segfaults.

Are you aware that the volume is unchagable?

Yes, only from settings, because it use OpenAL as sound backend, and it work ugly with pulseaudio on sailfishos

If you launch the game with the environment variable PULSE_PROP_media.role=x-maemo, the volume control works as it should.

I've tested on sfos 3.4. It installs and I can hear the music but the screen is black. I've tested on two devices with sfos 3.4 and on both the screen was black in the game.

I have tested on hammerhead (Nexus 5), Galaxy Note 4 (treltexx) and Xperia XA2. On the XA2, it works fine but on the first two, I only get a black screen. I hear the music and the game reacts when I tap on the screen but I don't see the menu options.

It works very good on sfos 3.4. Thanks for this game!
However, on a hammerhead (Nexus5) with sfos 3.3, it cannot be installed:
"File: ./armv7hl/libhybris-libGLESv1-0.0.5.36-1.30.1.jolla.armv7hl.rpm not found on medium 'http://repo.merproject.org/obs/nemo:/devel:/hw:/lge:/hammerhead/sailfish...'"
