What do you think?

I hate to be negative, but oh boy, this sure is rough-

as a kid currently attending college, this feels like a prototype more than a demo x-x

Firstly this UI is very rough, the font choices, the slightly darker color font makes it kinda hard to see (that gold coin one mainly hurts my eyes being honest), and I think having just a random coin and gold bar doesn't really work well as it feels mis-matched with the rest of the UI

My suggestion is to convert into some sort of in universe shop of some kind, and also make sure to have the fonts to be black if it's colored buttons, as it pops more and allows to be more readable!

There's also a LOT of bugs, example the Big Troll himself sometimes just hovering o.o

or like this where I somehow just bugged through the safe zone, even tho I passed it and just was stuck moving forever or until I died

Also another where the win didn't activate and the troll somehow got in and killed me lol

Troll can get into the safe zone and just kill you

Also both the Game Over and Winning HUD displaying? I got the win first and then died while I was taking notes

I think I got into areas I wasn't supposed to be, like this random house with 0 collision and even just where the ground turned grey... My best suggestion is to block it off to the area you want players to be!

also as you see I can still move when dead and/or winning

Another thing is I don't fully know the objective of this game, like it has endless elements (like the distance and gold system) but then it also has an ending? like a Point A to B?

I'd suggest either splitting these into different modes (like a "Endless" and a "Campaign" mode) or focus on one main mode!
Overall I see potential, but for at it is it's very flawed! and I know it's still free but I (personally) wouldn't place it as a "Name your price" as it give expectations compared to just fully free games

I wish the best and hope to see more updates from the game :D

Temple Run with a troll.

nice game! Need maybe some improvement like sound, particle effects, or some bugs (like i can walk in the entire level in any directions xd), but it's fun, i finally reach the village btw^^
