Glad you managed to get past that bit, I was worried there was a bug in the latest version that I hadn't discovered.

I'm not going to add regenerating health, it'd make the game way too easy since you get more health as the game progresses and then you could simply stand around waiting for your health to fill back up.

The Legend of Edgar has been updated to 0.97

* Added the next part of the optional quest
* Changed a puzzle in the Laboratory map
* Made a change to the Fortress Mine map

Intentional ?

Oh no, how did that happen?!

Only joking, it's completely intentional. I even did it in the release notes when I was working at a professional software house, my manager wasn't happy

The Legend of Edgar has been updated to 0.98

Hello~

I downloaded and played this quite a long time ago but for some reason i never posted any feedback.

I didn't get very far becaus I have the attentionspann of a goldfish but from what I did get to play and even more so from watching the youtube video I'd say this is one nice game!

I can tell you put alot of work in to the enemy AI, boss battles and puzzles and it looks very challanging and fun.

I'm very curious as to what language/API this is done in?
Maybe you have that information here somewhere but I had a look and could not find an answer.

Well done!

It's written entirely in C and uses SDL for the graphics and sound. You can download the source code for the latest release from here
