Our take on Tiny Thor
The focus on ricocheting hammer throws gives the platforming a distinctive mechanical identity, but also makes success depend on mastering a specific aiming-and-bounce system rather than a broad range of combat approaches.
What is Tiny Thor?
Tiny Thor is a retro platformer in which Thor travels through the Northern Realms with Mjölnir.
The hammer can be aimed freely and ricochets from surfaces and enemies, supporting trick shots during fast-paced platforming. Across more than 30 handcrafted levels in three realms, players face obstacles, environmental puzzles, hidden gems, secrets, and boss battles with distinct mechanics. Special abilities become available as the adventure progresses, while challenge levels can be unlocked through collected gems. The game uses 16-bit pixel art, an original soundtrack, and a story about a young Thor taking responsibility.
