German indie game developer Asylum Square‘s 16-bit pixel platformer Tiny Thor is about to arrive on Windows PCs on the 5th of June 2023. This nostalgic-looking retro platformer features art from veteran pixel artist Henk Nieborg (Spyro: A Hero’s Tail, Contra 4, Shantae series) and an original soundtrack from Chris Hülsbeck (Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, Turrican).
In Tiny Thor, players will explore the mystical Norse realm of Asgard, adventuring across 30 unique, hand-crafted levels. Along the way, the diminutive deity will encounter tricky environmental puzzles and almighty adversaries, including the many-tentacled Kraken and the infamous trickster God, Loki.
However, no challenge is too great for our young hero! Armed with the incredible mini-Mjölnir, players can freely aim the ricocheting weapon to overcome obstacles and succeed in epic boss battles. 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.
Published by leading MMORPG publisher Gameforge under their IndieForge publishing label, Tiny Thor will be available for €19.99/£16.75/$19.99 USD/$25.99 CAD on Windows PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store on June 5.
Tiny Thor Ragnarok n’ Roll Edition, including the game and the official soundtrack, will also be available for €25/$25 USD. A special launch offer will allow players to purchase both versions of the game with a 10% discount during the first week. Tiny Thor will also be released later this summer on the Nintendo Switch, so stay tuned for further details.
