Tiny Thor is a classic Jump'n'Run that cleverly combines elements of action, puzzles and skill. The unique hammer-throwing action spellbinds players right from the start and acquires special superhuman abilities and upgrades as the game progresses.

Gaming AgePaul BryantAug 2023Tiny Thor is an excellent love letter to retro games not just because it looks and plays like a game from decades ago, but because it’s still highly playable in the here and now.

Nintendo LifeMitch VogelAug 20238/10Tiny Thor is a well-crafted retro platforming adventure that no fan of 16-bit gaming will want to miss. Though its controls can be a tad frustrating and its difficulty can be occasionally inconsistent, there's no denying that this a thoroughly enjoyable experience from stem to stern, especially for those who enjoy a fittingly old-school challenge. We'd give this a strong recommendation to anyone looking for another solidly built neo-retro platformer to add to their collection, though we'll caution anyone with slower reflexes to brace yourselves for a rough time. In all the best of ways, Tiny Thor feels like a lost Sega Genesis game, easily worth your time and money.

Retrolike.netDanny NelemanJun 20239/10Tiny Thor might be a game that, if it receives a broader release and moves beyond the overcrowded Steam store to reach consoles as well, could become the next unexpected retro-inspired indie hit. Its platforming basics are well executed, visually imaginative, and simply unique with its hammer gimmick. Above all, in an overcrowded genre, the game excels in unadulterated fun.

Pure NintendoKirstie SummersSep 20236/10Tiny Thor is a cute, colorful 2D platformer with a fun, nostalgic style. But an over-reliance on genre tropes and under utilization of its mythological source material mean it doesn't stand out from the wealth of similar games.

NintendoWorldReportAlex OronaAug 20237/10These kinds of instances do more to point out the games' limitations instead of highlight them. Still, those fiending for a new throwback challenge have got your work cut out for you. I really enjoyed my time with the 30 some odd levels of Tiny Thor, but more so in spite of itself than because of it.
