IIRC, just hitting would annoy the troll and correct command was "kill" :D\r\rI know it's not easy writing a parser in unity (I don't know it tbh, but I guess), but I think n s e w commands were supported in adventure-like games even before full commands were added.\r\rAlso wow, music used in kerbal :)\r\r...and I"m stuck at cats.

Check for those when creating a text adventure.\r\rThe interface has the usual problems of a text adventure, e.g. it says 'There is an axe. Maybe you should TAKE it...' so I 'take it' and it gives me the classic 'There isn't a it here.'.\r\rUsing the UP key, like in a console, to get the last text back would have been nice. How often do I have to type 'hit troll with axe' and then again when I make a typo?\r\rI stopped the game when I arrived at the cats. I noticed that you cannot write 'check cat' or 'search cats' and hit ENTER which I guess is intended but then I did not know what to do because when I arrived at the cats I typed help before reading what it said about the cats. I then could not get back the origin cat text which would have probably made the situation clearer. Going south and north again did not dislpay the text again.\r\rAfter writing the above I have now restarted the game, gone back to the cats and found that the text does not clear up anything. I seem to have a rope, then I cannot check it or use it with the cats. There are major usability issues here.\r\rStill, the music is very nice and I like the pixely graphics."},{"author_name":"Conk","author_uid":"40797","time":"Sep 13, 2016 @ 12:54pm","epoch":1473770940,"text":"I got lost, game wouldn't let me use the rope on myself, the field to the north seemed rather pointless, I like the idea though, fits well with he theme!"}],"images":["ld36\/26482-761a44a3f1ebd1f721b81957f70341bb.jpg","ld36\/26482-36d22f355bf49b48dfd30e11d7d511be.jpg","ld36\/26482-5a05c1e41789ca4a1a6e3c7a3fbac4d1.jpg","ld36\/26482-bdf364f8b4a66544870b202f16a41e3d.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/scotthalsall.co.uk\/GameJams\/AncientTechnology\/ATWindows.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/scotthalsall.co.uk\/GameJams\/AncientTechnology\/ATMac.zip","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"http:\/\/scotthalsall.co.uk\/GameJams\/AncientTechnology\/ATLinux.zip","text":"Linux"},{"url":"http:\/\/scotthalsall.co.uk\/GameJams\/AncientTechnology\/ATSource.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"1222","g_author":"26482","g_event":"LD36","g_eventkey":"35","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"1189","g_title":"Hit Troll With Axe","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"11","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/26482-shot0-1472422377.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/26482-shot1-1472422377.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/26482-shot2-1472422377.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/26482-shot3-1472422377.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Hit Troll With Axe is a text based adventure where you take on a journey to save a princess!\r\n\r\nYou can type \"help\" get a list of commands.\r\n\r\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nOriginal plan: Run a C game with a DX11 basic render engine and plug in Nuklear for UI support.\r\n\r\n4 hours in, decided this was a terrible idea and moved over to Unity.\r\n\r\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nKnown Issues: Game crashes 2nd time around.
