How it feels

A cheerful, retro-style action-adventure where a lone boy uses a hammer to defeat monstrous enemies across colorful, level-based worlds.

What players say

Players say this free platformer is a mixed bag. The pixel art and music are praised, but the wall jump is often called unresponsive and the lack of checkpoints in long levels leads to frustrating, pixel-perfect deaths. Some see it as a rough prototype or an advertisement for Tiny Thor.
