Tiny Thor
Tiny Thor is a labor of love. It’s not a game that reveals its captivating nature at first glance. But Jochen Heizmann succeeds in captivating players with his platformer. In over seven years of development, he and his crew have created a little gem of a game that deserves a standing ovation thanks to its precise controls, loving details, and level design. This ranges from the independently developed engine to the mini hero’s sophisticated hammer-throwing techniques.
Particularly noteworthy are the beautiful hand-drawn 16-bit pixel graphics and the fantastic soundtrack by Chris Hülsbeck. Tiny Thor turns out to be a gem for nostalgics and newcomers to the genre and is praised by fans with exceptionally positive reviews. Anyone who invests their money and time in the adventures of the young god Thor is unlikely to regret it. Tiny Thor is proof that games with pixel graphics can still be fresh in 2024.
