Axel's Magic Hammer




Baby Thor is back!

Hands up who saw this coming? Yeah, I'm getting predictable, right? Well, I was about three or four rooms into this game before I realised two things. One, I was having a blast with what I knew would be a great platformer. Two, I quickly restarted because I knew I needed to map the Atari ST version (what else?)

If you're wondering what I'm going on about, that means you missed my ultra-sexy review! How could you? Well, breathe a sigh of relief - your life isn't a total failure as you can read it by clicking here.

Seriously, this is a belting game, and definitely one you should add to your playlist. I loved the controls and the easy exploration, albeit by a linear design. I know it didn't break the mould but I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game. I can't imagine anyone struggling to get deep into this one. Just take your time and use those block-bashing skills as best you can. They often give access to a different route and hidden areas.

Btw - if you're interested in other ST game maps then take a gander on my new page!

As always, the images here are thumbnails. Click me to download the hi-res versionsEnjoy my maps...


Level one is tremendous fun and plays great at introducing the game mechanics.


Level two and things look a little familiar. This is another great level.


Another great level but it's getting boring hearing this yet again?


This level feels familiar! The tree parts are seriously awkward.


I called this level 'boring' but that's not really right. It's quite tough, however.


I thoroughly enjoyed this level, quite traditional albeit with a couple of nasty rooms!


Looking familiar, yet again. But the gameplay is spot-on!


I wouldn't say it's tougher than the rest, however, those final lava rooms are insane!!!!


Within the end room is a stationary Dragon - who has your girlfriend. Kill it!!

    2. The maps are in very low resolution.
      Eg. first map: 720 x 95 px only.

    3. Is there a problem with the download? :/
      I'll have to check that sometime, but I hope it's okay! The download is above fwiw, look for the last line :) "As always, the images here are thumbnails. Click me to download the hi-res versions. Enjoy my maps..."

      That's the download link to the high res versions. The thumbnails on the website are small because Blogger/Google destroys the quality over a certain size. Which is annoying!
