About Trolls Rage
Trolls Rage makes its intentions fairly clear on the title screen. A large blue troll carries a hammer while smaller armed figures crowd around him. This is a fantasy fighting game built around moving into trouble and hitting back, with a rather unpleasant special action reserved for the space bar.
The publisher lists two movement layouts: arrows or WASD. Attacks have alternatives as well, using Z and X or J and K. That is useful if one arrangement feels cramped. Choose the combination your hands can reach comfortably instead of switching between both sets halfway through a fight.
The original menu includes New Game, Continue, Options, Controls and Game Guide. Those last two are worth a look before starting. The illustration sets up the character, but the control and guide panels explain what you can actually do with him. This is the older Flash game with Xplored and Crazy Monkey Games branding.
How to play Trolls Rage
Move the troll through combat encounters and use his attack actions against the enemies in his path.
- Start with the original Controls and Game Guide entries. Check the movement and attack layouts before selecting New Game.
- Move with the arrow keys or WASD. Pick one set and keep your other hand near the attack buttons.
- Use Z and X, or J and K, for attacks. Get familiar with both attack keys instead of treating them as interchangeable menu buttons.
- Space activates the vomit action listed by the publisher. Keep it separate from movement so you don't trigger it accidentally.
- Press P to pause when you need a break or want to refer back to the controls.

Tips for a better round
- Settle on a comfortable layout before a fight. Reaching across the keyboard for the wrong attack key is an avoidable distraction.
- Watch where the enemies are relative to the troll. Moving into a useful position is a separate decision from pressing attack.
- Use the pause key rather than leaving the game running while checking instructions. The Game Guide is a better reference than guessing at an unfamiliar action.
