A game about the god of thunder - even if he's just a small boy - needs some crackling visual effects, so we just created some this week. For example when Tiny Thor enters or leaves a scene.
The sound effects are not yet final. I just played around with it a little because I thought it's just dumb to show off visual fx without sound :)

Snails
Disgusting slimy snails stand in the way of our hero. Looks like they're afraid of hammers flying around.

Spore Bumpers
Wondering how these colorful spore bumpers work? Seems they are interconnected somehow. Use them to maneuver yourself (or even crates) into places you can't reach otherwise.

The Wraith & The Jelly Crate
Somehow I forgot to post the latest update here on steam. So this time I have two videos for you ;-)
The first one shows the new wraith enemy. He can't be defeated, but Tiny can keep him at bay by utilizing his hammer or use his shockwave slam attack to make him disappear for some time.

Next is the new jelly crate. Quite wobbly. We haven't build levels with it yet, so next is to play around with it and come up with some clever ideas and level design concepts to create some fun moments with it. If anything pops up in your mind, let us know ;-)

The Ice Vortices
What are these strange ice vortexes for? Tiny Thor should throw his hammer in to find out.

The Crystal Fortress

Here is a first look at our latest feature. The basic idea is very simple: Tiny (and also his hammer) can toggle blocks on and off, but this makes up for some pretty interesting puzzles and situations.
Critters & Fireflies
For once Tiny is not jumping and throwing things, but instead chills on the lakeside with some new critters ;)

Ice Fortress (Preview)
This week I want to share the brand new tileset that our artist Nauris has created. While the ice world starts in quite friendly looking environment it gets more mysterious later in the game when this tileset will be used.
Do you like it?
Join us on Discord
First of all: We just started a discord server. So feel free to join and say hello: https://discord.gg/bXHrrwZ
We don't know yet what we want to do with it, but we want to post regular development updates there and hope to have an easy way to ask people for feedback if we are unsure about certain features.
We also want to use it to organize the closed beta we will soon start.
Oh, wait, and here is a short video. It shows the start of Level 19. It seems that the bats have agreed with the statues to defeat our hero Tiny Thor. ;)

Highspeed Sliding
For the ice-themed world in Tiny Thor, we currently working on some high speed sliding passages. No chance for hedgehogs anymore ;)
