A classic action-platformer built around a powerful magic hammer.
The briefing
Axel's Magic Hammer is an action-platform game released in 1988 for Amiga, Atari ST, Atari ST/STE, and Commodore Amiga.
Players control a boy armed with a magic hammer, using it to defeat enemies and break blocks that conceal power-ups. These enhancements include a bicycle helmet, which lets Axel smash blocks by jumping into them from below.
Developed by Core Design and published by Gremlin Graphics Software, the game centers its platforming action on the hammer and its various uses.
