Jotunn Trivia by Thirsty

[raw]
made by Thirsty for LD 41 (JAM)

Welcome to Jotunn Trivia!!

The best Norse mythology based action trivia game this side of Yggdrasil!

Maneuver Thor around the battlefield fighting off jotnar-a-plenty while trying to remember simple facts about his life. Put down that horn of mead and strap on megingjord for a rip roarin good time.

arrow keys or WASD - move

space bar - SMASHY SMASHY! (works equally well on jotnar and game show buzzers)

P.S. If you were wondering why it looks like a 7 year old made this game... it's because a 7 year old made this game. Well... he did most of the art, helped with the design, and learned a few things about game making in the process for our 3rd Ludum Dare game together.

An unusual concept and interesting gameplay! It is interesting to play Tor, crushing opponents with a hammer!
I like it!

Kind of an intresting concept, however the questions i had no idea how to answer ;/ but that's just me.
Nice idea overall though!

This game was really fun to play, I managed to get 173 score and I had to work really hard to get that :D Oh, and I would've never guessed the art was made by a 7-year old, it's really well made and could definitely have been made by an adult. The only thing I thought about was that I wansn't able to see the awesome horns on the helmet since they blended in with the dirt on the background. But hey, awesome job nonetheless, you made a very fun game in a very short amount of time! :)

Thank you Marvel

I got stuck in the wall a few times. You might want to add more visual feedback to getting hit.

Overall very good game. Its fun, and it combines two things the shouldn't work together but do anyways. I would very much like more than 1 trivia option because I don't know much about thor, yet everything wat implemented very well.

I don't know anything about norse mythology, so a lot of answers just looked like jumbled letters for me to smash randomly. Thanks for making an HTML game!
