An usual Day In a Troll's life by ajopart

[raw]
made by ajopart for LD33 (COMPO)
The daily routine in a Troll's life. Edmund never chose to eat women and sexualty assault cows. It's in his nature. Now, a angry mob of peasant wants his skin. What can he do against such violence and misunderstanding ? Run Edmund, Run !!

This is my first Unity 3D entry in Ludum Dare, my first game with this engine, in fact...

Can't play it,
unity says, the data is missing
(there's only an executable, unity needs also the "NameOfExe_data" folder)

It was a good game :) Bugs: There was a random button on the title-screen and this isn't a bug but I found it a bit strange, the mob chasing you was just a background, good game though I liked it sorry to sound harsh.

@ AdenMansonGames :Thanks for your time for this feedback. I used the button on the start screen to delete the playerPref and see if the progression of the player was good recorded. Forgot to remove it. Over the bloodthirsty background... Yep, no excuse. it stills believes it's an angry mob... And you sound fare.

There's a couple of places where you can fall off the map, in which case the game will react by simply stopping the camera and letting everything else move. There's no way to get out of it, and you won't die of it. Rather annoying!

Now, on to things that aren't bugs: The music is alright and fitting to the theme of the game. However, it could loop a bit better. As it is right now it's rather noticeable where it stops and starts again.

Graphics wise it's fine. Most of the game is well stylized with the exception of the random mob in the back, which for some reason is just a long, non-transparent plane of a scanned notepaper. Needless to say it feels rather jarring and out of place. Maybe having a dark dust cloud instead (I'm sure unity has something like that in stock), or at the very least making it transparent so that it doesn't look like a straight plane would be much better.

There's a few places on the map that could make use of slopes quite well and instead just have abrupt height differences. I'm guessing this is because slope mechanics haven't been added to the game at all, so they were avoided altogether. This is rather sad, since allowing the player to move up or down on the map could have livened up the game play by quite a bit.

Hard work for these models and animation. But the game is too difficult..

Good game. Good graphics and music in general. Controls are ok! I found a bug in the second level. I jumped into the water, and the camera just stopped whereas the troll was still running. I did not loose, but was trapped on this screen. Don't forget to add a restart button in your jam game ;) it will save you a lot of time even in the programming part.

Nice game, I managed to break it by falling in the water on the first level and the second level doesn't quite seem finished. But its fun to play

You have a great sense of humor. And both the graphics and the music is hilarious.

Very nice! Made me laugh so hard, love it, some bugs around and unity buttons, but still a nice one!

Hilarious game. Great job on a nice little endless runner. Look forward to either further development or more from you!

This is a decent start however there were a lot of ways to get out of the map and sometimes I would hit nothing yet still loose. I don't know why this would happen :)

Solid entry! I like the music, and low-poly style. There could have been slightly more warning for the larger obstacles, but other than that smooth gameplay. Well done!

I can't click on anything at the choose level screen.
Sometimes by clicking everywhere I can see a yellow stuff who disapears quickly.

Not super thrilled. You should have spent a more time on the basic movement code as it does not feel very good! Keys get "stuck" when you press multiple directions at once and don't behave well. The level selection screen is really cool! Sexual assault is _not_ a "fun" topic.

Nice entry, pretty good for a first game in a new engine, keep up the good work,

ps.
i did notice that if you play fullscreen on the wrong resolution that you cant press the play button, im not sure how you can fix that, but anyways, i shouldnt be playing on the wrong resolution anyway

I like the running game, but the collisions are sometimes very clunky. The graphics are generally good but sometimes some glitches and odd parts get in the way.

It could do with some polish but I like the gameplay and it works well. Well done, it was fun!

The environment was very nice looking. I think even adding some transparency to the mob background would go a long way in improving it. I would also recommend upgrading to a newer version of unity with the new UI tools. The mechanics are very solid overall.

Nice little game.
I love the angry mob billboard. :)
The music however didn't fit too well. I think something a little more fast paced would better fit with the angry mob and the mood of the game.

I'll not be original, +1 star in humor for the billboard ! :p
And a nice timelapse too. ;)

The little story was a nice addition. Shame there weren't any women or cows to eat.

Fun game, requires quick reflexes. It's really challanging to get all stars and coins. Entertaining gameplay with nice audio and graphics.

This reminded me of that bit from Shrek with the town folk and their pitch forks. it would be good to recreate the backdrop with flickering silhouettes - but I liked low poly art style!
