How does your game fit the theme?
You have no direct control over the troll. You must influence his movement using the environment and maneuver him to the CTRL area. The troll will also wrecklessly smash your input keys - further reducing your control if you make mistakes.

Did your team create the art for this game during the 48 hour time slot?

No

We used pre-existing art

Did your team create the audio for this game during the 48 hour time slot?

Yes

We created all audio during the game jam

Interesting take on the theme. Though, you're success with a level really depends on the RNG of the level generation. Perhaps you can further improve the program to ensure that levels are beatable in the first place.

Oh very creative use of the theme!  I liked the idea of the random keys used to control direction.  Sometimes I had only red keys left and had to restart hehe.  Congrats on submitting a super unique puzzle game to the jam! Please check out my entry if you have time.

Got to stage 35; game was dope / addicting. Music was fun. 
Loved the concept, controls got figured out pretty quickly. As much as it was simple, it was difficult. 
It would be cool to have a 'perk' or some kinda bonus item that unlocks a dead key/tool throughout the game. Maybe something that you gain overtime.

Anyway, super fun. Saving you as a dev and will try your other games too. Happy Coding!

Very fun and addicting concept! I went through about 15 rounds with it. I liked figuring out an order for the letters I wanted to try and run it quick, giving it some tense moments. Excellent job!

Interesting idea! a bit too challenging for me (it's difficult for me to make the troll stop at the `CTRL` area lol). Would be great if you can introduce the effect of each item through gameplay instead of having an instruction manual. Good job! nice music though.

I agree that the instructions would have been really good to have throughout the game--I didn't even notice there was more below until a few minutes into playing, so I was pretty confused at first. But it's really creative and I liked it a lot!
