Gameforge—a leading Western publisher of MMORPGs—and indie developer Asylum Square announced that 16-bit pixel platformer Tiny Thor is available now on Windows PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store. Published by Gameforge’s IndieForge publishing label, Tiny Thor takes players on a magical and nostalgic journey, brimming with retro-inspired goodness that will also be coming to Nintendo Switch later this summer.
Watch the brand-new Tiny Thor launch trailer:
Armed with his trusty mini-Mjölnir, the young god will travel across 36 gorgeously illustrated levels, battling baddies and cleverly aiming and launching his mighty mini-hammer. In the game’s full campaign, which takes between 10 and 20 hours to complete, Thor will ready, aim, and ricochet Mjölnir off enemies and the environment, solving puzzles and pushing ever forward on his journey across the magical world of Asgard. 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.
“We’re so thrilled to finally be launching Tiny Thor on PC!” said Jochen Heizmann, co-founder of Asylum Square. “We’ve worked hard to craft something truly wonderful and couldn’t be happier to finally share it with players. We want to thank everyone for their support with our demo, and can’t wait to hear what they have to say once they finally experience the full game starting today for PC and on Nintendo Switch soon as well!”
“We couldn’t be happier to help bring this title to launch,” said Stefan Erdmann, Tiny Thor product manager at Gameforge. “Tiny Thor is a heartfelt love letter to both retro titles and the players that enjoy them. We’re looking forward to seeing people enjoying Ragna-rocking it out as the littlest Asgardian on PC, as we work to bring this title to Nintendo Switch later this summer.”
Key Features of Tiny Thor:
- It’s Hammer Time!: Use the ricocheting mini-Mjölnir 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 Hülsbeck enhances the game’s retro credentials
