Thoom

About

Thoom is a first-person shooter built for Thumby, a demake of Doom that shrinks the chaos into a handheld format. Using raycasting and scaled sprites, it mimics pseudo-3D environments where you blast through a single level packed with enemies. You’ll shoot demons, collect keys to unlock doors, and face a mini boss before the brief runtime ends. Controls are tight for the platform, and movement feels punchy despite the hardware limits. The game started as a meme among developers and became a functional experiment. Community forums note it’s more of a technical achievement than a lengthy experience, with one level and rudimentary design. Player reviews highlight the novelty of Doom on Thumby, calling it a “proof of concept with charm.” Developer notes admit the code is messy, but the execution works. It’s not about polish, it’s about proving what’s possible. Short, quirky, and packed with pixelated rage.
