Yikessss! Spikes!!!
Watch a more challenging gameplay situation in this video, where Tiny has to avoid lots of Spikes while falling into the deep. What will await him at the bottom?

Here is a brand new section of our game Tiny Thor where our hero encounters a mysterious cube: A place which unveils quite a few secrets...  |

Nice!
(Did you change the camera behavior? Looks much more calm than before)

The water probably needs to be transparent and layered above the crate/switches. It's fine on its own, but the crate bobbing up and down without seeing any water seems a bit weird. |

Yeah, you're right. We still have lots of small visual issues in the game and at some time we need to take the time to take care of it... Anyway, here is a new feature we're currently working on. Wind Zones. Have already played around with it a little and also have some nice ideas we want to try with them (combats inside wind zones, puzzles with crates/wind zones involved, crates you can spawn wind zones etc.) |

Nice! The spikes do leave me wondering though: what is the dying/retry loop like? Because so far the gameplay looks quite brutal, requiring quick reflexes to unexpected level layout, so if that dying/restarting loop isn't smooth and not-too-frustrating you'll lose a lot of players quickly I think

To be honest, I'm usually showing off the most difficult parts of the levels (because they just look more interessting in videos) - most of the time it's just more relaxed.
However, we try to put lots of checkpoints in the game especially before the hard parts. And dying/respawning is nearly instantaneous.

Ah, that makes sense!  Does have the side effect of making the game look like a constant challenge though |

This is the start of Level 19. It seems that the bats have agreed with the statues to defeat our hero Tiny Thor. We also have now a discord. Feel free to join: https://discord.gg/bXHrrwZ |

Looking great as always! I really like the rising stone things. Very cool enemy-entity thing.
About the difficulty. I'm on 'team easy'! I grew up with hard games and my preference right now is for easy games I can enjoy with little to no repetition. But I disagree you would lose too many players with a hard game; there is great demand for hard games lately! My suggestion is to go for the game you would want to play yourself, because there's an audience either way.

I agree, make the game you'd like to play! But I think it is reasonable to discuss whether the game feels "fair" or "unfair" on the high difficulty levels, you know? Insta-death that you cannot not see ahead of time can become a source or unfair-feeling difficulty. Super Meat Boy or Celeste on the other hand are quite fair in their high difficulty levels

I think this is a good point, it's ok to be challenging but I do occasionally get that unfair feeling from watching the gameplay videos. The most obvious recent example I can find is in this video where the gems seem to be placed above spikes to bait the player into landing on them, which comes across as a bit mean. |

For once Tiny is not jumping and throwing things, but instead chills on the lakeside with some new critters |
