Aw, why do all the Al Borland clones hate trolls so much?

Aw, why do all the Al Borland clones hate trolls so much?
People fear the unusual I guess.
Interesting idea and nice game! I love it that you made it in scratch.
Thanks. I like using Scratch for these kinds of things as it's easy to do, the source is open and accessible, and it's easy to embed the result into a web page.
I really like the AI on the lumber jacks - the the rock trajectory wasn't too predictable. Though I wanted the player movement to be a little faster, it felt very much like a large lumbering woodland troll, and added to the difficulty. Great job. I like the way the lumber jacks collect around the fallen troll in the end.
Aww I love this, but I wonder if you'll keep working on it. a monster that cannot attack is a neat concept
I did think of maybe expanding the collection mechanic. Initially I was going to have a dance button but I ran out of time for animations.
Hey Paul!
Fun little game! You've done a great job with the balance on this, it's just perfectly tuned. I really like the cute style of the lumberjacks and the troll too.
Thanks. I got very lucky that the pacing worked out. The A.I. is aim at the troll and then +/- 30 degrees at random. Initially this is easy to avoid, but gets much harder as the number of lumberjacks increase.
Nice little game :) Love the fact that we can't attack, well linked with the theme. I only have one subjective opinion : this green back does not honor your other graphics :/
I like the story idea. Moving feels a bit slow, but I think the mechanic works best this way.
Nice entry :)
Nice Idea. We usually see a troll as a scary angry mob, but now he only wants mushrooms... So many angry at nothing lumberjacks :C
Btw nice graphic, smooth gameplay that gets really challenging after a while and great concept.
Well done!
Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.
I love your take on the theme. I felt very sad knowing the fate of the poor troll...
I wrote up some more on the idea here: http://ludumdare.com/compo/2015/08/25/a-trolls-life/
Brawny man throws manhole covers at shrek's mom until she falls over, and then they beat her with sticks
8/10
I really liked it!
these humans are very strong, throwing rocks all over the screen ;D
Managed to get six mushrooms then got ganged up on by lumberjacks! I had no chance :D
Lovely little game, poor troll :(
Really enjoyed playing you game, I felt so bad for the Troll! I got to 6 mushrooms before the mean lumberjacks took out all my lives in that one level. Nice little entry and it's nice to see that people are using Scratch!
