Bridge Troll is a very small quest style adventure inspired by old DOS games. Unfortunately, this jam project didn't turn out particularly well. I could make excuses, but such is life. :) I look forward to the next Ludum Dare!

I could make the others run away with "kick man", "steal man", "punch man", "extort man", "kill man"... but couldn't find commands that did anything else. Some prompts/hints would be nice, but otherwise, I like the mix of old-school GUI and text-based commands!
Very awesome concept! Somehow I was able to finish it :D
I think this is all because I typed "speak" and he said "I don't know how to speak" so naturally my brain went, love, I don't know how to love...I don't know why this seemed sadly funny to be so I tried it....anyways after kick some old dudes and punching air and them embracing by new friends I know have that old school techno song "What is Love? Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more!" stuck in my head!
Anyways, I digress. This is really cool what you did, deals very much like scribblenauts. Keep up the good work!
This game tickled something and made me rate it way higher than the logical part of my brain wants to (and I didn't even discover the "ending"). Great job, it was enjoyable :).
You've got a good framework here, it just needs a little more guidance, like...what can we do, what are we SUPPOSED to do? Good start, though! (I like the retro graphics and font, heh.)

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Okay, i feel frustrated at the lack of direction in this game, i mean you say type commands in form of verb or noun and all those i tried return with "i don't know *insert all words*. Is this called bridge troll because it trolls gamers? or am i missing something.
I dont know how to play your game haha
