Indie Game Tiny Thor Is Getting a Physical Release on the Nintendo Switch

Strictly Limited Games is partnering with Gameforge to release a physical edition of Asylum Square’s platformer Tiny Thor on the Nintendo Switch. The physical copy of Tiny Thor Mjönir Edition will also include Tiny Thor’s predecessor Hammer Kid, a pixel art platformer that has similar gameplay beats.

Here’s a quick description and rundown of each game’s features

Tiny Thor is a love letter to the challenging action platformers of the 16-bit console era, with contributions by two legends of their respective fields. Sporting magnificent pixel art by artist Henk Nieborg to feast your eyes upon and a soundtrack by duo Chris Hülsbeck and Fabian Del Priore, together create a nostalgic and immersive experience that will tug at the heartstrings of every retro-gaming enthusiast.

One area where Tiny Thor doesn’t stray too much from its inspirations is the challenge it provides. The refined gameplay with its focus on using Mjölnir for attack as well as traversal helps to tackle the obstacles head on and rewards you with the ultimate satisfaction when succeeding. Starting as a straightforward jump'n'run, "Tiny Thor" evolves into a fully-fledged adventure as players unlock a plethora of abilities throughout the game. With over 30 beautifully designed levels spread across three unique realms, players will encounter thrilling boss battles that will challenge even the bravest of gods.

The version included here features additional gameplay refinements and fixes based on community feedback to make a great game even better.
