Remember that Flash game Trogdor from like 20 years ago? Well, I put it on the Game Boy Advance. Check it out!


Features:

  • All 100 levels of the original Trogdor, recreated for the GBA
  • Burninate the countryside, burninate the peasants, and burninate the thatched-roof cottages from the backseat of your parents' minivan! Party like it's 2004, y'all!
  • Includes improvements from the HTML5 version!
  • Save your high scores and compare with your friends! This feature was cut from the original Flash game, but has been reinstated!
  • Your progress is autosaved as you play. Quit at any time and resume your session later!
  • New 2.0 update adds the TROGHAMMER from Trogdor!! The Board Game and many other features!
    • If you take too long to beat a level, the Troghammer comes out of The Void Tower and will kill you.
    • New options menu lets you toggle the troghammer and game behavior when peasants return home.
    • New pause menu lets you change options, view high-scores, or quit mid-game.
    • New tutorial mode teaches you how to play!
    • Full v2.0 changelog here.

Tips:

  • For the basics, check out the new How To Play option (added in v2.0!).
  • Some cottages have treasure inside! Keen observers can find treasure troves of cash (and points!)
  • For every 300 points, you earn an extra life.
  • If the "trogmeter depreciation" option is turned on, you lose Trog-Meter for every peasant that returns to their cottage.
  • As you progress through the levels, the troghammer arrives earlier, your burnination time shortens and archers appear more commonly.
  •  Press START during a level to pause
