Here is an overview of the game, via IndieForge:
About
In Tiny Thor, players will explore the mystical Norse realm of Asgard, adventuring across 30 unique, hand-crafted levels. Along the way, the diminutive deity will encounter tricky environmental puzzles and almighty adversaries, including the many-tentacled Kraken and the infamous trickster God, Loki.
However, no challenge is too great for our young hero! Armed with the incredible mini-Mjolnir, players can freely aim the ricocheting weapon to overcome obstacles and succeed in epic boss battles. Additionally, players can learn special abilities to bestow Thor with mighty powers befitting a (very small) god and unlock challenge levels to test their godliness even further.
Increasing the nostalgia further, Tiny Thor features art from veteran pixel artist Henk Nieborg (Spyro: A Hero’s Tail, Contra 4, Shantae series) and an original soundtrack from Chris Hulsbeck (Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, Turrican).
Key Features
- It’s Hammer Time! – Use the ricocheting mini-Mjolnir and its special abilities to complete puzzles and defeat enemies.
- Small, But Mighty – Triumph in epic boss battles against Norse mythology icons such as the Kraken, and Loki.
- Old School, New Game – Art from veteran pixel artist Henk Nieborg and an original soundtrack from Chris Hulsbeck enhances the game’s retro credentials.
