I saw the theme at 4 am in the morning. I thought &#8220;this is an awful theme&#8221; like pretty much everyone, and then I was struck with what seemed a brilliant idea: what if I made a vertical space shooter where you and your enemies are superpowered for 10 seconds and then useless for another 10.<\/p>\n <p>I got some sleep and prototyped it in the morning. It was boring and uninteresting. Then, for some reason, I thought about characters that have 10 seconds to live. But they are meaningful seconds, because they can do stuff before they die. This got combined in my mind with norwegian trolls and sunlight (which would be the trigger of their death sentence) and of course a healthy dose of Lemmings.<\/p>\n <p>I spent a little too much time refining the mechanic, and a huge amount of time on music and graphics, but it turned out to be one of my more fun games. Plus, a fantastic start for a complete puzzle game.<br \/>\n I designed 10 stages, and only built one in the end.\u00a0 I have no regrets, LD is the best, I want to participate for the rest of my life!!!!<\/p>\n <p>Congrats to ALL who participated, and thank you for the all the games. Most of them were food for thought, and some of them were also very very fun. You should all be proud!<\/p>\n <p>My plans for Legend of Troll is to finish 10 levels and hopefully a level editor, and do a kickstarter on it, to help me develop the rest of it.<br \/>\n Meanwhile, in my day job, I&#8217;m working on three games as an illustrator. So, wish me luck.<\/p>\n <p>till next LD,<br \/>\n Christina<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2013\/09\/16\/timelapse-and-postmortem-3\/the-cave-riddle\/\" rel=\"attachment
