I can't find the key to "swing" witch should be 2 but it isn't? Walking works fine but I can't fight back!

Really cool ! Not as easy as I first thought. Really great idea, the one ring that control them all ;) Cool music too ;) It was really fun to play, great work!

The key to swing is Z, sorry the font is kind of ambiguous between the two. Thanks a lot for the feedback I really appreciate it.

Wait...are you sure you're not violating a copyright here?

Fun concept, good music, good graphics. This was a good one!

Quite nice game mechanics! The different enemy behaviors make gameplay pretty interesting. But 188 kills is waaay too much D:

Mocutoauthor16 Dec 2013, 05:25

Again, ambiguous font. It is 100, not 188. I wonder if that counts as a typo...

Apart from the iffy font readability I thought it was pretty fun. Hard, but fun.

Ahw.. wanted to play this. Whenever I press ENTER in the main menu nothing happens.. the screen stays black. Ran in Mozilla.

I liked this, but mostly just because it was related to The Hobbit

Heh nice! the damn arrows are always the death of me...

This seems very derivative... Fight mechanic works well and the music is SWEET. Only loosely tied to the theme though

FANTASTIC! The title tune is a great interpretation! Very good graphics, solid gameplay! My favorit!

But as stated elsewhere, 'z' is the worst choice for a button, because it is flipped with 'y' on many localisations(me = german). Funny that so many devs still use it, this is already the third installation in this jam that i experienced..

I like the music. I would suggest using a better font next time. I too thought I had to kill 188 orcs. All in all a descent game.

Like the reference ! Good job for the ring, aha !

Ashtom19 Dec 2013, 21:17

good mechanic with the ring! Quite difficult since the collision boxes seem large (pretty unforgiving) and the player moves fast. Had fun though!

dray19 Dec 2013, 21:19

At first i didn't understand, the second time i understand, the third i liked, and then i found it really fun. i had doubt on the theme but the game work well even if it's really too hard. the bilbo hitbox is bigger than we expect it to be. Nice game

As others have mentioned, there seems to be something weird going on with the hitboxes. Died for no apparent reason a few times. It might have been more interesting had the sprites been bigger.
