As others have said, the hammer throwing animation is a bit annoying if it happens every time you throw it. Also, in the first level, I feel like Loki's projectiles come a bit too quickly. I think that could be fixed through a zoomed out camera but if you think that would get in the way of your art style then don't worry. I experienced a bug in the second level. When you defeat Hella, her attack can still happen, killing me in the final cutscene. Also, didn't Baldur say that Loki went to Hel? How come the final boss was Hella?

The worst part is probably that its so short;) really nice cinematics.\nAs for the game itself... Well it plays nice, but you can just spam the hammer endlessly and with the game pausing its an easy win. I think it would be much better if you would need to grab the laying hammer again to use it immediately but it will get back to you after some cooldown of 5-10 seconds.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1074497,"author_name":"Codmen4000","author_uid":"codmen4000","epoch":1714171312,"text":"as a fan of all types of myths I have something to appreciate here.
