Welcome to Troll Strike, the platformer that lied to you in the app description, and it's about to lie to you in the game too.
You've played "hard" platformers before. This one's different: every ledge might vanish. Every safe-looking platform might be a spike in disguise. Every taunt on screen is the game genuinely mocking you for trusting it. This isn't a game you beat by getting good, it's a game you beat by getting suspicious of literally everything.
WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY GETTING INTO
- 75 levels across 8 wildly different worlds from a "forgiving" forest that immediately isn't, to a mirror sanctum that's hungrier than it looks, to a finale that throws every trick you've learned at you at once
- A hearts system that keeps score of your suffering. Run out, and you can watch a short ad to keep going, or take the loss and start over your call, never forced
- 6 unlockable playable shapes, each with its own personality and its own dramatic way of dying
- A death counter that will make you feel things
- A soundtrack you can flip through mid-run, because you'll need the distraction
WHY IT'S CALLED TROLL STRIKE
Because "reasonably fair platformer" was already taken. Every world runs on one promise: nothing here is what it looks like. Doors are traps. Traps are doors. Floors disappear. The floors that don't disappear are somehow worse. The game comments on your failures directly, and it is not kind about it.
THIS GAME IS FOR YOU IF YOU
- Genuinely enjoy games that are a little mean to you
- Want short, replayable levels instead of a 40-hour commitment
- Like unlocking new characters as a reward for not rage-quitting
- Have something to prove to a video game
Free to play. Ads are entirely optional they only appear if you choose to watch one to refill your hearts, nothing forced or automatic. No in-app purchases, no pay-to-win nonsense. Just you, and a game that's actively rooting against you.
Download it. The door is right there. Just walk through it. Easy
A platformer that lies to you. Traps, taunts, and betrayal at every turn.
