![]() That is not meant as a criticism or anything like that, just an observation. However, I have to say that I am getting more of an “Amiga” vibe from the game's visuals than I am a SNES or Genesis game. As this is a 16-bit style game, it of course uses pixel art for the graphics and they look fantastic. I know that I have referenced the Super Nintendo when talking about Hammer Kid, but the visuals of the game are quite interesting. In all, it is a solid platformer that really is a lot of fun, oh and there are some fun boss fights as well! Something European ![]() ![]() You also need to use your hammer to d things like open switches and there are even sections where you have to run away from danger. You can smash enemies with your hammer, but you can also use projectiles as well. The platforming feels great and there is a bit of skill required here too which I do like. It is a platformer with four different worlds that have 40 levels spread between them. The gameplay of Hammer Kid really does look like something that you would have seen back in the Super Nintendo in 1994. Only this little dude, his powerful hammer, and his can-do attitude can save the day! Hammer Don’t Hurt Em! Anyway, our hero needs to defend the land from an evil called Szymon Spitfire who has sent a whole bunch of nasty monsters to cause trouble. Our hero in the game, the titular Hammer Kid bares more than a passing resemblance to the Mighty Thor, actually, that follow up game I was talking about is even called, Tiny Thor. It is due for a full release really soon and from what I have read this developer has an interesting idea for a follow up game already! The God Of Thunder You can check out a short demo on steam right now and the game just has a very cool and classic charm that has gotten me pretty excited about it. This is an indie platformer that has a ton of charm and is proudly displaying its 16-bit inspirations right from the start. I have to say that Hammer Kid is the kind of game I could see myself losing my mind over back in the 16-bit days.
