An awesome game for a speedhack; it\'s an impressive concept and impressive that Marcello could pull it off. Polished and solid. The only weak point is that gameplay itself is a bit simplistic & does not entertain for very long.

This game is certainly the most interesting entry in TINS\'05 in my opinion. It makes clever use of trolls by unleashing forum trolls flaming the allegro.cc forums. Literally. With flamethrowers.

The game actually downloads the 10 most recent threads from the forums and renders them with a custom renderer. Then you need to snipe the trolls that are roaming around the page with a sniper scope (complete with zoom effect).

If Marcello posted in the current thread, then the machinegun gets unlocked, and you can have even more fun. :)

Complemented with a nice music and good sound effects, and summed with the awesome idea, this game is really very fun. Definitelly my favorite entry this year.

Sinewave requirement is implemented on flamethrowers and troll movement, subtly. The game itself is a parody of forums and their trolls. In my opinion, this game has the best implementation of trolls by twisting the word and using forum trolls.

Very recommended.

Total awesomeness, by far my favorite in the compo. Very smooth graphics, and the zoom targeting has a nice feel to it. It just doesn\'t get any better than sine-moving, forum-flaming trolls set to a funky tune.
