Defender's Quest LINUX version.

Time for the penguin users to help larsiusprime out and advance Linux gaming by a single game.

Every game helps!

adobe air is required and no way round it for the linux version according to the other thread, so thanks but no thanks...

Adobe Air on Linux is a major pain in the Java. But it just goes to show what Linux gamers are willing to go though.

Huh? Did you look at the picture in the linked post? Option one is, specifically, AIR-less.

no, I read the post from Judas asking how to un-install air and an OP that describes why air on linux isn't updated.

It's a moot point anyway, the choice is a air or a crocked version, the answer remains thanks but no thanks.

What is "crocked?"

The AIR-less version doesn't sound bad. It's adobe/shockwave flash, it saves to flash cookies instead of XML files. That's all right?

I wonder if there's a way to export those cookies? Flash-game Super Mario Bros. Crossover (from developer Exploding Rabbit allows gamers to save their progress to an external TXT file instead of using Flash cookies.

Wasn't the big thing about Adobe Air was that it contacts back to Adobe or the developers? Seeing as it's a single-player game and on linux, wouldn't it make sense just to disable networking permission for the game? If it can't connect to the internet, then questionable software seems a little less baulking...

Course that may require tweaking and hacking, or simply feeding it a dummy networking component...

I'd advise moving away from Adobe AIR. The platform is dead and getting it installed on modern Linux systems can be dicey, at least from my personal experience.

Hopefully, someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but the following is my understanding of events. The developer came from mobile background where phoning home is commonplace. The game initially phoned home. This did not go over well here, but the dev quickly responded and changed the reporting to optional with it defaulted to off. I take it you didn't read back through the linked thread?
