One day I saw a game for 0.39€, it was Mountain Troll by IndieLip. My curiosity was peaked, after all not every day you see a game at a such low price and so I bought it without hesistation.

After a quick download I launched the game and was hit with the sound of nothing, there is no sound in the game and since there is no options menu I was unable to find a soloution, maybe the game had some awesome soundtrack but alas I had to resort to play some dragonforce in the background to make up for it. I'd like to point out that the trailer on steam features some merry tunes, sadly these were never found ingame..

The game itself is a 2D platformer and you play as a troll (a MOUNTAIN TROLLL!!!) and you have to collect bags that are stored on various platforms, once you've collected all the bags on the screen you're done with the level. There are a total of 12 levels in the game but the objective remains the same: Collect bags.

You control the troll only by using the arrow keys, the steam page does not state whether there is controllersupport or not I was unable to test it as I do not own one. To control the roll is hard, you can't jump while on the move which makes the jumping on moving platforms especially hard. The movementspeed of the troll also makes timing jumps hard and will most likely lead to death by spikes.

In conclusion I did not enjoy Mountain Troll, the controls are clunky, there's no optionsmenu and no sound. Since the objective never seem change I did not feel motivated to play all 12 levels. IndieLip promised me I wouldn't get bored while playing this game, sadly I lost intrest after 13 minutes of seeing the troll get punctuated by spikes over and over.

Gonna have to be a red thumb from me!
