Our take on Thunder Paw
The focus on five stages and boss fights keeps the structure compact, but it also limits the amount of exploration and broader progression compared with longer platforming adventures.
What is Thunder Paw?
Thunder Paw is a pixel-art platformer following Thunder after an explosion damages his family home and his parents are kidnapped.
The game includes five levels set across different scenarios. Each level ends with a boss encounter, and Thunder can use a large selection of weapons to defeat them. Keyboard controls use WASD for movement, Z or O for shooting, X or P to switch weapons, and Space to jump. Gamepad controls use the left analog stick or D-pad for movement, X to shoot, B to change weapons, and A to jump. The story centers on Thunder’s attempt to find his parents and identify the person responsible for their abduction.
