Review Fix: What was the inspiration for the game?
Konstantin Elgazin: The first thing was internet trolling and memes; I adore sarcasm and a good sense of humour. The second thing was an idea to make a game where the  obvious solution is always the wrong one. We looked at the point & click and adventure games and said – “Hey, why so serious? Why can’t we see stupid things, unexpected solutions? The game shouldn’t look like routine.”
Review Fix: Are there any games currently available that are comparable? Why?
Elgazin: There are a lot of point & click, adventure, puzzle, HOG games with comparable controls and gameplay; many beautiful masterpieces. But I can’t compare any of these games with Troll Face Quest series. It is a symbiosis of unique art and stupidly good levels. We try to keep the trolling quality high in all games in the series.Â
Review Fix: What did you play as a kid? How did they influence this game?
Elgazin: I was born the same year Tetris was released so I played it a lot when I was a kid. Tetris hardly trolled me with Z-bricks so this is my revenge.
Review Fix: What was the development process like? Any hurdles?
Elgazin: Development process is an infinite hurdle! Honestly speaking, the game is untypical in development; all the levels are unique, there is no unified structure at all, a lot of hard coded things. The hints engine was a kind of headache too. We decided to localised the game to 16 languages to go truly international and that was an interesting experience.
Review Fix: What are you most proud of when it comes to this game?
Elgazin: I am proud of the ‘letsplay videos’ of top youtubers, honestly! I love these guys, and always check out all video reviews. Some of them laugh like crazy (KuplinovPlay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSAvWJsnujU) and some of them trying to keep serious (PewDiePie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0g_DF-XIcjE), and some of them are totally crazy guys (FrenanFloo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKFqZuVtwcU). Love them all.
Review Fix: What are your real goals for this game?
Elgazin: To keep it free, to produce more and more levels and to build up a Trolling Empire.
Review Fix: Bottom Line, what makes this game special?
Elgazin: Great reviews from our players and high ratings which are the best motivators for a developer. Ah I forgot the secret ingredient – a Trololololo
