Published under Gameforge’s IndieForge publishing label, Tiny Thor is a lovingly crafted 16-bit pixel platformer, a grand adventure punctuated with exhilarating boss battles designed to test the son of Odin. Each realm features its own unique environment, and players must utilize the might of Mjölnir to defeat troves of enemies and solve clever environmental puzzles. Brimming with nostalgic, retro-styled goodness, Tiny Thor will feel familiar to retro fans while also offering a fun and unique experience.

Players on Nintendo Switch and Windows PC now have access to Tiny Thor’s “Assist Mode,” designed to transform this tricky yet satisfying platformer into a more relaxed experience. Customize the difficulty options by toggling on options such as Higher Jumps, Longer Invincibility, and, fitting for this tremendous, godly tale, there’s “God Mode,” which offers permanent invincibility. 

“We’re incredibly proud of the hard work it took, across multiple departments, to make the Nintendo Switch version of the game,” said Hannes Anders, Chief Technical Officer at Gameforge. “We collaborated with the Asylum Square team closely to ensure this version is a fun and smooth experience for players, and we hope they will enjoy playing Tiny Thor any time, anywhere on their Nintendo Switch.” 

“We were really happy with the reception Tiny Thor received on PC,” said Jochen Heizmann, co-founder of Asylum Square. “It’s great that players will now be able to enjoy Tiny Thor on Nintendo Switch as well, with something for all platformer fans to enjoy whether it’s their first time playing or whether they tried it on PC before.”

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, Yet 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
