It's definitely fun and annoying in it's challenges! I would love a map (as the other pointed out) and was it just me or were some bad guys unkillable? Maybe I missed something, but once I got the little yellow thing that followed me around, nothing changed when it came to battle.

Thanks! I'm working on a post-jam version with bigger resolution and map. You can shoot with that little yellow thing. Use the X, J, Ctrl or gamepad B.
I found 5 triforces, and I'm one coin short of 66. Would you consider releasing a map of this game?
Wolod responds:
I'm thinking about post-jam version with bigger resolution and mini-map.
After 30 minutes of fiddling, I resorted to using Joy2Key to translate my gamepad into keystrokes. I'm glad I did, even though the game left me kind of bleary. It was a fun, but unexpectedly short, and unique tribute game.
I REALLY didn't enjoy the EXTREME clausterphobia, I get it but still. Ouch! All the people who are complaining about small game window size need to learn how to use their browsers zoom feature. I zoomed it up to fill the screen, and ended up like I said using J2K to play it with my old-timey PS2 dualshock through an adapter (duh).
Mostly I was suprised by how suddenly the game cuts off after you fight er....Sauron?
Oh well, still a blast and some really good visuals, i was less upset the more and more fun I had. Something about it! I would definitely encourage a sequel, bigger & longer & uncut.

Thanks a lot! I'll consider making a post-jam version with normal resolution (and perhaps some additional features such as a minimap).
+i love the music and the throwback.
+the game runs smooth (i mean its 2016 and its a pixel game but not many out there are willing to go trough the coding process and make a free game "CLEAN")
+really enjoy the music
-i feel like this can become a better game if the screen its a little larger because i understand that by making it bigger you will have less rendering and bigger pixels (main focus and problem with pixel games) but if you work it out it can look even more legit
Wolod responds:
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad that you like my game. Screen is small because it's the entry for the LowRez Jam. I'll consider making a post-jam version with normal resolution.
Nice tribute game.
+ Love the art style
+ Thoughtful red arrows , tubes and menu screen
- Repetitive music , as others mentioned
- Small screen ( I know it is for the jam , but bigger is better , and maybe add a map too )
Just a bit lack of information
( 1 ) I find out the pause menu myself by pressing Esc . Putting it in the description would be better.
( 2 ) How can I use the yellow triangle after buying it ?
Congrats for frontpaged. Hope to see your post-jam version.
