Tap the game to open it fullscreen. On a computer, Esc exits; on a phone, use the ✕ button.

How to play

The stone giant shatters, and the shards fly. Swipe your finger (or mouse) across them to cut them; with the keyboard, move the crosshair and press Space. Cut twenty-five shards. If three fall, the game is over.

The story behind it

According to Snorri, a shard of Hrungnir’s whetstone stayed lodged in Thor’s head. The rain of shards is made up for the game. Read the story in Thor against Hrungnir: the duel with the stone-hearted giant and the shard that stayed in the god’s head.
